Rail lock adjustment (fig. A1, J)
The rail lock has been factory-set. If you need to re-adjust, proceed as
follows:
1. Lock the lock lever (12) by pushing it down (fig. A1).
2. Adjust the nut (34) on the underside of your saw until the gap between
the Belleville washers (35) closes (fig. J).
3. Once the Belleville washers are almost touching, loosen the nut (34)
half a turn.
Bevel Stop and Pointer Adjustment (fig. K1, K2)
1. Raise the blade to its maximum by rotating the blade height
adjustment wheel (10) clockwise (fig. K1).
2. Unlock the bevel lock lever (11) by pushing it up and to the right.
3. Loosen the bevel stop screw (36).
4. Place a set square (37) on the table and up against the blade (38)
(fig. K2).
5. Adjust the bevel angle using the bevel lock lever (11) until the blade is
flat against the square.
6. Tighten the bevel lock lever (11).
7. Turn the bevel stop cam (39) until it firmly contacts the bearing block
(fig. K1).
8. Check the bevel angle scale. If adjustment is required, loosen the
pointer screw (40) and set the pointer to 0°.
9. Tighten the pointer screw (40).
10. Repeat the procedure at 45° for the 45° bevel stop, but do not adjust
the pointer.
Mitre Gauge Adjustment (fig. A3, L)
Your mitre gauge (3) is equipped with adjustable stops at 90° and 45°.
To adjust these stops, loosen the lock nuts (41) and set the adjusting
screws (42) as required.
Adjusting the Fence Parallel to the Blade (fig. A1, D)
The fence has been factory-set. If you need to re-adjust, proceed as
follows:
1. Unlock the rail lock lever (12).
2. Remove the upper blade guard (5).
3. Locate the rear pinion bearing and loosen the two hex bolts (25A) just
enough to allow side-to-side movement.
4. Move the fence over until it touches the side of the blade.
5. Adjust the fence parallel to the blade.
6. Tighten the hex bolts.
7. Lock the rail lock lever and check that the fence is parallel to the blade.
WARNING: If there is not enough travel in the pinion bearing
assembly, take the unit to an authorized D E WALT repair agent.
Fine Adjustment Knob (fig. D)
The fine adjustment knob is factory adjusted.
If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
1. Turn the saw upside down and locate the front pinion bearing.
2. Using a narrow blade screwdriver, access the screw through the slot
(26A).
3. Loosen the screw by turning counterclockwise until the head touches
the inside of the bearing box.
4. Tighten the screw 1/2 of a turn.
5. Repeat this procedure for the rear pinion bearing.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
WARNING:
Always observe the safety instructions and applicable
regulations.
Install the appropriate saw blade. Do not use excessively
worn blades. The maximum rotation speed of the tool must
not exceed that of the saw blade.
Do not attempt to cut excessively small pieces.
Allow the blade to cut freely. Do not force.
Allow the motor to reach full speed before cutting.
Make sure all locking knobs and clamp handles are tight.
Never place either hand in the blade area when the saw is
connected to the electrical power source.
Never use your saw for freehand cuts!

Do not saw warped, bowed or cupped workpieces. There
must be at least one straight, smooth side to go against the
rip fence or mitre fence.
Always support long workpieces to prevent kickback.
Do not remove any off-cuts from the blade area while the
blade is running.
The attention of UK users is drawn to the "woodworking machines
regulations 1974" and any subsequent amendments.
Switching on and off (fig. A1)
The on/off switch of your saw bench offers multiple advantages:
No-volt Release Function: should the power be shut off for any
reason, the switch has to be deliberately reactivated.
Extra Safety: the hinged safety enclosure plate can be locked by
passing a padlock through the centre hasp. The plate also serves as
an "easy to locate" emergency stop button as pressure on the front of
the plate will depress the stop button.
To switch the machine on, press the green start button.
To switch the machine off, press the red stop button.
