that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
D27111
This machine is of class I construction, therefore earthed (grounded) 
connection is required.
D27112
 Your DEWALT tool is double insulated in accordance with 
EN 61029; therefore no earth wire is required.
   WARNING: 115 V units have to be operated via a fail-safe 
isolating transformer with an earth screen between the primary 
and secondary winding.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a specially prepared 
cord available through the DEWALT service organisation.

If a new mains plug needs to be fitted:
  •  Safely dispose of the old plug.
  •  Connect the brown lead to the live terminal in the plug.
  •  Connect the blue lead to the neutral terminal.
  •  Connect the green/yellow lead to the earth terminal (D27111 only)
   WARNING: No connection is to be made to the earth terminal 
(D27112 only).
Follow the fitting instructions supplied with good quality plugs. 
Recommended fuse: 13 A.
Fitting a mains plug to 115 V units 
(U.K. and Ireland only).
The plug should be fitted by a competent person. If you are in doubt,

Using an Extension Cable
If an extension cable is required, use an approved 3–core extension cable 
suitable for the power input of this tool (see technical data).The minimum 
conductor size is 1.5 mm
2
; the maximum length is 30 m.
When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable completely.
 ASSEMBLY
    WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and 
disconnect machine from power source before installing 
and removing accessories, before adjusting or changing 
set-ups or when making repairs. Be sure the trigger switch 
is in the OFF position. An accidental start-up can cause injury. 
 
Unpacking (fig. B) 
  •  Remove the saw from the packaging material carefully. 
  •  Release the rail lock knob (18), and push the saw head back to lock it in 
the rear position. 
  •  Lock the table (19) into highest position. 
  •  Press down the operating handle (2) and pull out the lock down pin (17), 
as shown. 
  •  Gently release the downward pressure and allow the head to rise to its 
full height. 
  
 Bench mounting (fig. C) 
  •  Holes (36) are provided in all four feet to facilitate bench mounting. 
Two different sized holes are provided to accommodate different sizes 
of bolts. Use either hole; it is not necessary to use both. Bolts with a 
diameter of 8 mm and 80 mm in length is suggested. Always mount 
your saw firmly to prevent movement. To enhance the portability, the tool 
can be mounted to a piece of 12.5 mm or thicker plywood which can 
then be clamped to your work support or moved to other job sites and 
reclamped. 
  •  When mounting your saw to a piece of plywood, make sure that the 
mounting screws do not protrude from the bottom of the wood. 
The plywood must sit flush on the work support. When clamping the 
saw to any work surface, clamp only on the clamping bosses where 
the mounting screw holes are located. Clamping at any other point will 
interfere with the proper operation of the saw. 
  •  To prevent binding and inaccuracy, be sure the mounting surface is not 
warped or otherwise uneven. If the saw rocks on the surface, place a 
thin piece of material under one saw foot until the saw is firm on the 
mounting surface.   
  
 Storing the fastener tools (fig. D) 
 The following tools are supplied with the machine:
  1 T30 star wrench (37)
  1 T40 star wrench (38)
   
  •  Take care to store the tools each time after they have been used in 
assembly or adjustment. 
  
 Mounting the upper blade guard (fig. E) 
 The upper blade guard (21) is designed to be quickly and easily attached to 
the riving knife (20) once the machine has been set up for saw bench mode. 
  •  Loosen the bolt (39) and leave nut (40) in the hexagonal pocket. 
  •  Holding the guard vertically, align the slot in the rear of the guard with the 
riving knife. 
  •  Lower the guard over the riving knife (20), making sure the shaft of the 
bolt enters the recess. 
  •  Turn the guard into horizontal position, which will lock the guard to the 
riving knife. 
  •  Insert bolt (39) into the hole and tighten with special torx wrench.  
  
 Mounting the saw blade (fig. D & F1 - F5) 
  
    WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and 
disconnect machine from power source before installing 
and removing accessories, before adjusting or changing 
set-ups or when making repairs. Be sure the trigger switch 
is in the OFF position. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
   WARNING:  The teeth of a new blade are very sharp and can 
be dangerous.   
 
  WARNING: After mounting or replacing the blade, always 
check that the blade is fully covered by the guard.   
 
 WARNING! Be aware the saw blade shall be replaced in the 
described way only. Only use saw blades as specified under 
Technical Data; Cat.no.: DT4350 is suggested.
  
 In order to fit a new saw blade it is necessary to adjust the table into highest 
position and raise the saw head to its highest position. 
D27111
  •  Insert the T30 star wrench (37) through the hole (42) in the casing into 
the spindle end (fig. F1). Place the T40 star wrench (38) into the blade 
locking screw (43) (fig. F3). 
  •  The blade locking screw has a left-handed thread, therefore holding the 
key firmly, turn clockwise to loosen. 
  •  Depress the head lock up release lever (3) to release the lower guard 
(5 & 23), then raise the lower guard as far as possible (fig. F4). 
  •  Remove the blade locking screw (43) and the outside arbor collar (44) 
(fig. F5). 
  •  Make sure the inner flange and both faces of the blade are clean and 
free of dust.
