Epson DW746 Rip Fence Operation

English

ADJUST THE BEVEL STOPS (FIG. 18)

1. Using a square, set the blade FIG. 18

to exactly “0” degrees. If the

blade stops beveling before it

gets to 0, loosen the stop set

screw (located in the left

miter guide slot) with the

5 mm hex wrench and then

proceed to “0” degrees. With

the blade set at 0, slowly turn

the zero stop screw in until

you feel resistance. Bevel the

blade away from 0 a little

then back to the stop.

2. Remeasure the angle and repeat the stop adjustment as necessary until the blade

stops at 0 degrees.

3. Set the 45 stop the same way. The set screw for the 45° stop is located in the right

hand miter guide slot.

For some special cuts, the stops can be backed out and the saw will bevel from –2 degrees

to 47 degrees.

ADJUST THE BEVEL SCALE (FIG. 19)

1. Bevel the saw until it hits the FIG. 19

zero bevel stop.

2. Remove the lock knob (BB)

and blade height adjustment

wheel (M).

3. Adjust the red pointer by

loosening the screw (WW)

where it attaches to its shaft,

move the pointer until it lines

up with the 0 line on the

scale, and retighten the

screw. The pointer should

be positioned just barely off

of the scale surface.

4. Bevel the saw to the 45º stop. If the pointer doesn’t point to 45º, loosen the two screws

(XX) which hold the scale to the saw front panel and slide the scale up or down until

the pointer lines up with the 45 line. Retighten the scale screws.

5. Replace the blade height adjustment wheel and lock knob.

INSTALL THE MOTOR COVER (FIG. 20)

1. Remove the two cover screws and washers (YY) from FIG. 20

the top of the two side legs with a small flat blade

screwdriver.

2. Snap the two bottom tabs of the cover (J) into the slots

in the right lower crossmember.

3. Place the cover in position and reinstall the screws and

washers.

LEVEL THE SAW (FIG. 21)

1. Place the saw in the location it is going to be used.

2. If the saw rocks on the floor, the foot not touching the floor can

FIG. 21

be lowered to compensate for the uneven floor.

a. Loosen the two screws (ZZ) that hold the foot (L) to the leg.

Let the foot fall to the floor surface.

b. Retighten the screws holding the foot to the leg.

If your saw will have a permanent location, we recommend bolting

the feet to the floor using the holes provided.

ADJUSTMENT AND USE OF MITER GAUGE (FIG. 22)

Your miter gauge features adjustable

FIG. 22

stops at 90° and 45° left and right.

To adjust these stops:

a. Loosen the lock nuts (A1) and

tighten or loosen the three

adjusting screws (A2).

b. Check the gauge with a square

against the blade and tighten

the three adjusting screws.

c. To set the miter gauge past

the 45 degree stops, flip up the

stop plate (A3) and continue to

the required angle.

CLEAN THE TABLE TOP

Your saw was shipped with a rust preventive coating which should be removed. Clean the top

with mineral spirits or denatured alcohol and apply paste wax. Apply and remove soon after-

ward to prevent a sticky build-up.

RAIL LOCK LEVER (FIG. 23)

The rail lock lever (I) locks the fence in place preventing movement during FIG. 23

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.

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

RIP SCALE POINTER

NOTE: The rip scale pointer will need to be readjusted whenever a

thicker or thinner blade is installed. Should you decide to use a thicker

face, or the DEWALT low fence face acces sory, the scale pointer may be

removed and turned 180° to line up with the scale. Refer to Adjust the

Fence Scale Indicator under Assembly.

RIP FENCE CAPACITY

The rip fence will slide beyond the end of the rails in either direction with-

out falling off. Stops are provided to keep the fence attached.
