TO ATTACH THE MITER GAUGE

FIG. 12

The DW745 includes a miter gauge for crosscutting materials. The miter gauge can be used by insertion into one of the two miter gauge slots (JJ) in the table top (Fig. 12).

NOTE: See crosscutting and bevel crosscutting instructions before performing these operations on the table saw.

Bench Mounting

A hole (KK) is provided in the switch for insertion of a padlock with a removable shank to lock the saw off (Fig. 13).

NOTE: A conventional padlock will not fit.

Rip Fence Operation

RAIL LOCK LEVER (FIG. 4)

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 up and toward the front of the saw.

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 start-up can cause injury.

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 3-1/2" (88.9 mm) long screws through the holes in the metal frame. Make sure the screws extend through the frame and securely attach to the supporting work surface.

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.

On-Off Switch

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.

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.
