Electrical Connection
Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate marking. 120 volts, AC/DC means that your saw will operate on alternating or direct current. 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.
Unpacking Your Saw
Check the contents of your miter saw carton to make sure that you have received all parts. In addition to this instruction manual, the carton should contain:
1.One No. DW705 miter saw.
2.One DEWALT 12" dia. saw blade
3.One blade wrench in wrench pocket shown in Fig. 2.
4.One DW7053 Dustbag (Some models)
5.One Side Table Extension (Some Models)
Familiarization
Your miter saw is fully assembled in the carton. Open the box and lift the saw out by the convenient carrying handle, as shown in Figure 1.
Place the saw on a smooth, flat surface such as a workbench or strong table.
Examine Figures 2 & 3 to become familiar with the saw and its various parts. The following section on adjustments will refer to these terms and you must know what and where the parts are.
Press down lightly on the operating handle and pull out the lock down pin, as shown in Figure 4. Gently release the downward pressure and allow the arm to rise to its full height. Use the lock down pin when carrying the saw from one place to another. Always use the carrying handle to transport the saw or the hand indentations shown in Fig. 3.
