INTRODUCTION
'
Your
DeWalt Radial
Arm Saw is a
precision woodworking
machine
and
before leaving
the
factory
the
machine
was set and
adjusted
to
operate accurately.
Inevitably,
however, during transportation
and
handling, some
of
these settings
will
have
been
disturbed
and it
will
be
necessary
for you to
check
and
readjust
the
machine before
you are
able
to
obtain
the
precise
woodworking
results
for
which this Radial
Arm Saw was
designed.
This
is not a
difficult
process
but we
recommend
you
to
follow these instructions carefully
and
in
fhe
sequence given before
you
attempt
to
start working with your machine.
In
addition
to the
setting-up instructions,
the
following pages also include
a
short
guide
to the
safe operation
of
this versatile
machine. Again,
follow
these instructions carefully, until
you
have learnt
the
fundamentals. After
that,
your
own
ingenuity
and
imagination will determine
how
much versatility
you can
extract from your DeWalt Powershop.
