TO BENCH MOUNT SAW
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn unit off and disconnect machine from power source before attempting to move it, change accessories or make any adjustments. An accidental
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal injury, make sure table saw is firmly mounted before use.
The table saw must be mounted firmly. Four mounting holes (N, Fig. 3) are provided in the metal frame for mounting. We strongly recommend that these holes be used to anchor the table saw to your workbench or other rigid, stationary work support.
CAUTION: Ensure that the surface is stable enough that large pieces of material will not cause it to tip over during use.
1.Center the saw on the desired, stable work surface.
2.Drive four
Your table saw is equipped with a work support extension to support work that extends beyond the saw table. To use the work support extension, rotate it as shown in Figure 14. When not in use, the work support extension retracts, as shown in Figure 15.
NOTE: Retract the work support extension whenever working over the table.
FIG. 14 | FIG. 15 |
If marring the supporting work surface is a concern, the DW745 can be mounted to scrap wood which can then be clamped onto the desired work surface.
1.Cut a piece of 3/4" (19 mm) plywood to fit beneath the footprint of the saw.
2.Screw the saw to the plywood and clamp the overhang of the plywood to the work surface. If the screws protrude through the plywood base, set it on two scrap pieces of material of equal thickness and attach them to the edges of the plywood to hold the saw further off of the work surface and prevent the screws from marring the surface.
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.
FINE ADJUSTMENT KNOB (FIG. 16) | FIG. 16 |
The fine adjustment knob (H) 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. Refer to Rip Scale Adjustment under Adjustments for alignment instructions.
