Connecting Saw to Power Source

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, before connecting saw to power source, make sure the switch is in the OFF position.

Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate marking. AC Only means that your saw will operate on alternating current only. A voltage decrease of 10 percent or more will cause a loss of power and overheating. All DEWALT tools are factory tested. If this tool does not operate, check the power supply.

On-Off Switch (Fig. 14)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, be sure switch is in the OFF position before plugging machine in.

Lift the ON/OFF switch (K) paddle up to turn your saw ON and push it down to turn your saw

OFF.

RAIL LOCK LEVER (FIG. 15)

 

The rail lock lever (W) locks the fence in place preventing

 

movement during cutting. To lock the rail lever, push it

 

down and toward the rear of the saw. To unlock, pull it

K

up and toward the front of the saw.

 

NOTE: When ripping, always lock the rail lock lever.

 

WORK SUPPORT EXTENSION/NARROW RIPPING FENCE (FIG. 15, 16)

The table saw is equipped with a narrow ripping fence that also supports work that extends beyond the saw table.

To use the narrow ripping fence in the work support position, rotate it from its stored position as shown in Figure 16, and slide the pins into the lower sets of slots 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 on both ends of the fence.

This feature will allow 2" (51 mm) of extra clearance to the blade. If more clearance is necessary, follow directions for making an auxiliary fence under Narrow Rip Auxiliary Fence in the Operation section.

FIG. 15

FIG. 16

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. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

NOTE: Your saw is fully and accurately adjusted at the factory at the time of manufacture. If readjustment due to shipping and handling or any other reason is required, follow the steps below to adjust your saw.

Once made, these adjustments should remain accurate. Take a little time now to follow these directions carefully to maintain the accuracy of which your saw is capable.
