Cross-Cutting and Bevel Crosscutting
1. Remove the rip fence and install the mitre gauge in the desired slot.
2. Lock the mitre gauge at 0°.
3. Proceed as for ripping.
Mitre Cuts (fig. 1)
1. Set the mitre gauge (J) to the required angle.
NOTE:
Always hold the workpiece tightly against the face of the mitre gauge.
2. Proceed as for ripping.
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. 1)
The machine is provided with a dust exhaust port (N) 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 exhaust port for 35 mm nozzles.
• 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. Ensure proper
hose management.
• Be aware that man-made materials such as chipboard or MDF produce more dust particles during cutting
than natural timber.
Storage (Fig. 20–22)
1. Attach push stick (U) to fence.
2. Remove blade guard assembly. See
To Remove Blade Guard Assembly
. Hook front of blade guard assembly
onto bracket and slide the rear of the assembly into holder as shown, then turn lever anti-clockwise to lock.
3. Slide blade wrenches (T) into pocket until yellow button aligns with hole to secure in place, refer to figure 22.
4. Insert guide bar of mitre gauge into pocket, then pivot and snap in place. Position the mitre gage extension
upwards to avoid interference.
5. Wrap cord in this location (OO).
6. To store fence, snap work support in stored position. Remove fence from rails. Reattach fence upside down on
left side of saw, refer to figure 21. DO NOT hook locator slots on left side fence locator screws. These screws
will align with clearance pocket on fence as shown. Close the rip fence latches (R) to secure.

Transporting (Fig. 1, 2)
• Always carry the machine using the designated handles (SS), refer to figures 1 and 2.
WARNING:
Always transport the machine with the upper blade guard fitted.
MAINTENANCE
Your D
E
WALT machine has been designed to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance.
Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning.
Lubrication (Fig. 23)
The motor and bearings require no additional lubrication. If raising and lowering the
blade becomes difficult, clean and grease the height adjustment screws:
1. Unplug the saw from power source.
2. Turn the saw on its side.
3. Clean and lubricate the height adjustment screw threads (pp) on the underside of
this saw as shown in figure 24. Use general purpose grease.
Cleaning (Fig. 1, 24)
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.
WARNING:
Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with clean,
dry air at least once a week. To minimize the risk of eye injury,
always wear AS/NZS1337 approved eye protection when per-
forming this.
WARNING:
Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for
cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals may
weaken the materials used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened
only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid get inside the
tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury,
regularly clean the
table top.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury,
regularly clean the dust collection system.
The blade guard assembly (K) and throat plate must be placed in position before operating the saw.
Before use,carefully inspect upper and lower blade guards as well as the dust extraction tube to determine that
it will operate properly. Ensure that chips, dust or work piece particles cannot lead to blockage of one of the
functions.
In case workpiece fragments are jammed between saw blade and guards, disconnect the machine from the power
supply and follow the instructions given in section
Mounting the saw blade.
Remove the jammed parts and
reassemble the saw blade.
Keep the ventilation slots clear and regularly clean the housing with a soft cloth.
Regularly clean the dust collection system:
1. Unplug the saw.
2. Turn the saw on its side, so the bottom, open part of the unit is accessible.
3. Open the dust access door (QQ) shown in figure 19 loosening the two screws and then by pressing the side
clips (RR). Clean out the excess dust, and re-secure by pushing the side clips completely into place then
tightening the lock screws.
