• Hold the workpiece fl at on the table and against the fence. Keep the
workpiece away from the blade.
• Keep both hands away from the path of the blade.
• Switch the machine on and allow the blade to reach full speed.
• Slowly feed the workpiece underneath the guard, keeping it fi rmly
pressed against the rip fence. Allow the teeth to cut, and do not force
the workpiece through the blade. The blade speed should be kept
constant.
• Remember to use the push stick (15) when close to the blade.
• After completing the cut, switch the machine off, allow the blade to
stop and remove the workpiece.
WARNING:
• Never push or hold the "free" or cut-off-side of the workpiece.
• Do not cut excessively small workpieces.
• Always use a push stick when ripping small workpieces.
Bevel cuts
• Set the required bevel angle.
• Proceed as for ripping.
Cross-cutting (fi g. J)
• Remove the rip fence and install the mitre fence in the desired slot.
• Lock the mitre fence at 0°.
• Set the bevel angle to 0°.
• Adjust the saw blade height.
• Hold the workpiece fl at on the table and against the fence. Keep the
workpiece away from the blade.
• Keep both hands away from the path of the saw blade.
• Switch the machine on and allow the saw blade to reach full speed.
• Hold the workpiece tightly against the fence and slowly move the
workpiece together with the fence assembly until the workpiece
comes underneath the upper blade guard. Allow the teeth to cut, and
do not force the workpiece through the saw blade. The saw blade
speed should be kept constant.
• After completing the cut, switch the machine off, allow the saw blade
to stop and remove the workpiece.
Bevel cross-cutting
• Set the required bevel angle.
• Proceed as for cross-cutting.
Mitre cuts
• Set the mitre fence to the required angle.
• Proceed as for cross-cutting.
Compound mitre
This cut is a combination of a mitre and a bevel cut.
• Set the bevel to the angle required and proceed as for a cross-cut mitre.
Support for long pieces
• Always support long pieces.
• Support long workpieces using any convenient means such as
saw-horses or similar devices to keep the ends from dropping.
Dust extraction (fig. A2)
The machine is provided with a dust exhaust port at the rear of the
machine (16) suitable for use with dust extraction equipment featuring
57/65 mm nozzles. Supplied with the machine is a reducer port for use
of dust extraction nozzles of 34-40 mm diameter.
• During all operations, connect a dust extraction device designed in
accordance with the relevant regulations regarding dust emission.

• Ensure that the dust extraction hose in use is suitable for the
application and material being cut.
• Be aware that man-made materials such as chipboard or MDF
produce more dust particles during cutting than natural timber.

Maintenance
Your D
WALT machine has been designed to operate over a long period
E
of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory
operation depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning.
Rail lock adjustment (fi g. A2 & K)
The rail lock tension has been factory-set. If you need to re-adjust,
proceed as follows:
• Turn the saw on its side.
• Lock the lock lever (13).
• Locate the hex rod (44) on the underside of the machine (fi g. K).
• Loosen the jam nut (45). Tighten the hex rod until the spring on the
locking system is compressed creating the desired tension on the rail
lock lever. Retighten the jam nut against the hex rod.
Lubrication
The motor and bearings require no additional lubrication. If raising and
lowering the blade becomes diffi cult, clean and grease the height
adjustment screws:
• Turn the saw on its side.
• Clean and grease the height adjustment threads. Use general
purpose grease.
Cleaning
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
turn unit off and disconnect machine from power source
before cleaning. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Before use, carefully inspect upper and lower guard as well as the dust
extraction tube to determine that it will operate properly. Ensure that
chips, dust or workpiece particles cannot lead to blockage of one of the
functions.
