CAUTION: Failure to securely mount the table saw to the work surface can be hazardous.

1.Center the saw on a square piece of 1/2" (12.7mm) ply- wood. The plywood must have a 15" by 20" opening to allow dust to escape.

2.Mark the positions of the four mounting holes in the base of the saw with a pencil.

3.Remove the saw and drill 1/4" (6.4mm) holes in the places you have just marked.

4.Position the saw over the four holes you drilled in the plywood and insert four 1/4" (6.4mm) machine screws FROM THE BOTTOM. Install washers and 1/4" (6.4mm) nuts on the top. Tighten securely.

5.In order to prevent the screw heads from marring the surface to which you clamp the saw, attach two strips of scrap wood to the bottom of the plywood base. These strips can be attached with glue, or wood screws can be installed from the top side as long as they don’t protrude through the bottom of the strip.

6.“C” clamp the plywood base to your workbench when- ever you want to use the saw.

CAUTION: Make sure table saw is firmly mounted before use.

Connecting Saw to Power Source

IMPORTANT: Before connecting saw to power source, make sure the switch is in the OFF position.

Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate mark- ing. AC ONLY means that your saw will operate on alternat- ing 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.

Rip Fence Operation

RAIL LOCK LEVER

The rail lock lever locks the rip fence rails in place, prevent- ing their movement. To lock the rail lock lever, push it down. To unlock the lever, pull it up (see Figure 9).

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

WORK SUPPORT EXTENSION

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 13. When not in use, the work support extension retracts, as shown in Figure 14.

NOTE: Retract the work support extension whenever work- ing over the table.

FINE ADJUST KNOB

The fine adjust knob (shown in Figure 15) 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

NOTE: The rip scale pointer will need to be readjusted whenever a thicker or thinner blade is installed.
