DeWalt DWE7485-QS - Compound Mitre; Support for Long Pieces

15
ENGLISH
To use the narrow ripping fence in the work support position,
rotate it from its stored position as shown in FigureM, and
slide the pins into the lower sets of slots
42
on both ends of
thefence.
To use the narrow ripping fence in the narrow ripping position,
snap the pins into the upper sets of slots
43
on both ends of
the fence. This feature will allow 51mm of extra clearance to the
blade. Refer to FigureM.
NOTE: Retract the work support extension or adjust to narrow
rip fence position whenever working over thetable.
Fine Adjustment Knob
The fine adjustment knob
4
allows smaller adjustments when
setting the fence. Before adjusting, be sure the rail lock lever is in
its up or unlocked,position.
Rip Scale Pointer
The rip scale pointer will need to be adjusted for proper
performance of the rip fence if the user switches between thick
and thin kerf blades. The rip scale pointer only reads correctly
for position 1(0mm to 510mm), however for position 1 with
narrow rip fence in use add 52mm. See Adjusting the Rip Scale
underAssembly andAdjustments.

Dust Extraction(Fig.A)
Dust from materials such as lead-containing coatings and some
wood types, can be harmful to one’s health. Breathing-in the
dust can cause allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory
infections of the user or bystanders. Certain dust, such as oak or
beech dust, is considered carcinogenic, especially in connection
with woodtreatmentadditives.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials to beworked.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the material
beingworked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental to
health or carcinogenic, use dust class M vacuumcleaner.
The machine is provided with a dust collection port
13
at
the rear of the machine 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.
The blade guard assembly also features a dust collection
port
14
for 35mmnozzles and AirLocksystem.
• During all operations, connect a dust extraction device
designed in accordance with the relevant regulations
regarding dustemission.
