INTENDED USE

Your mitre saw stand has been designed to extend the versatility of your DEWALT mitre saw. DO NOT use under wet conditions or in presence of flammable liquids or gases. These mitre saw stands are professional power tools. DO NOT let children come into contact with the tool. Supervision is required when inexperienced operators use this tool.

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING:
Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations.

Preparation

Place the mitre saw stand on the ground with the folded legs facing up.
Depress the leg lock lever (j) or release button (k) and pull leg up until the locking pin clicks into place. Repeat on each leg.
Lift the stand by the centre beam and place it in an upright position. The stand should be stable and should not rock.

NOTE: Ensure all locking pins are engaged and the legs are locked in place.

DE7024 Work Support/Stop (fig. 3, 4)

a. The work support/stop (d) has a clamp (l) to capture the beam and keep it from being knocked off the beam by your material.
The knob (m) may be locked by turning clockwise and the work support/stop is free to be repositioned when the knob is turned counterclockwise. Do not overtighten; firm pressure on the knob will hold the stop in place.
b. Adjust the height of the work support/stop (d) by loosening the knobs on both sides (n) and raise or lower the top surface to align with a straight edge or level to the saw table. Tighten the knobs.
NOTE: If the work support height adjustment slips down when under a load, the weight limit of the work support has been exceeded. This weight limit is limited by the tightness of the height adjustment knobs. Do not tighten more than finger tight.
The work support/stop (d) can also be installed in the end cap (e) at the end of the extension arms.
The length stop (o) may be rotated up to serve as a length stop or hold the end of long work pieces.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off, disconnect machine from power source before assembling the mitre saw to the mitre saw stand. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
WARNING: Stability Hazard. You must use the Universal Mitre Saw Mounting Method when mounting a mitre saw not manufactured by DEWALT to this mitre saw stand.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, be sure the mitre saw is fully anchored on the stand.
WARNING: For your own safety, read and understand the mitre saw instruction manual before using. Failure to heed these warnings may result in personal injury and serious damage to the mitre saw and the accessory.

Place saw in operational position with blade facing you. Align with label on the mounting bracket showing front.
Place a spacer under one side of the mitre saw to hold the saw’s mounting feet above the work surface.
Hold a mounting bracket (b) under the saw and feed a carriage bolt (hardware bag) up through the bracket and the foot of the saw.
NOTE: See DE7025 Hardware Selection Chart for the correct mounting hardware procedures for DEWALT mitre saws. Follow all instructions properly, otherwise the mitre saw’s table rotation may be obstructed.
Once the carriage bolt (hardware bag) is installed per DE7025 Hardware Selection Chart, assemble a flat washer, lock washer and nut onto the bolt. Tighten the bolts finger tight.
Repeat procedure on the other end of the bracket.
Move the spacer to the other side of the saw to hold the other end of the saw up in order to access the saw base.
Feed carriage bolts through the other bracket and the base of the saw as before. Ensure both brackets are parallel to each other.
To place the saw onto the stand, grasp and lift saw by mounting bracket assembly by the release levers. These levers do not lock the saw laterally in place but merely serve as a means of mounting the saw to the beam.
Approach the beam with saw/bracket assembly tilting toward your body slightly. Engage the concave front lip of the mounting bracket with rounded edge of beam. One of the brackets must engage the locator clip (i) to prohibit lateral movement of the saw during use.
When front edge of the beam and locking locator clip are engaged, a slight downward pivot will allow secure engagement of the release levers to the back of the beam. Rock the saw gently on the brackets to verify locking in position.
Adjust the saw position as necessary to have the blade perpendicular to the beam when in the 0 degree mitre position.
Tighten the four nuts holding the saw to the brackets securely.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off, disconnect machine from power source before assembling the mitre saw to the mitre saw stand. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
WARNING: Stability Hazard. You must use the plywood mounting method described in the following instructions when mounting a mitre saw not manufactured by DEWALT to this mitre saw stand.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, be sure the mitre saw is fully anchored on the stand.
WARNING: For your own safety, read and understand the mitre saw instruction manual before using. Failure to heed these warnings may result in personal injury and serious damage to the mitre saw and the accessory.

NOTE:
If you do not have a DEWALT mitre saw, you must use 19 mm plywood to mount your mitre saw. The plywood must be a minimum of 101.6 mm wider than the largest width of the mitre saw base. The plywood should be at least as deep as the smallest depth of the mitre saw base or a minimum of 406.4 mm if mitre saw base is smaller. Ensure the plywood is square.

Once the plywood size has been determined, drill 9.5 mm holes 25.5 mm from the front corners of the plywood, 355 mm apart and 25.5 mm from the sides.
Place DE7025 mounting brackets on the stand:
Grasp and squeeze release levers (g).
Engage the concave front lip of the mounting bracket with rounded front edge of beam. One of the mounting brackets must be engaged in the locator clip (i) to prohibit lateral movement of the saw during use.
When the front edge of beam and locator clip are engaged, a slight downward pivot will allow secure engagement of the release levers to the back of the beam. Follow same procedure with second mounting bracket at the appropriate position on the beam for the size of the plywood.
Place plywood onto mounting brackets and align drilled holes with slots in mounting brackets. Refer to DE7025 Hardware Selection Chart and use either Method 1 or 2 to secure plywood to mounting brackets.
Use 13 mm wrench to tighten hardware.
The mitre saw should be mounted to the plywood using holes in the mitre saw base. The hardware size will be determined by the holes in the mitre saw base. Hardware should be 31.8 mm longer than the maximum height of the mitre saw base at each mounting location.
Transfer location of mounting holes from mitre saw base to plywood.
Drill holes according to the size of the hardware chosen. NOTE: Hardware must be purchased to mount mitre saw to plywood. All purchased hardware should be a minimum of Grade 5 or Class 8.8.
Secure mitre saw to plywood as shown in Figure 9. Saw base (p), 19 mm plywood (t), flat washer (q), lock washer (s) and nut (r). NOTE: Ensure a flat washer (q) is used between plywood (t) and lock washer (s).
Tighten all hardware.

Carry Strap

If you purchase the carry strap accessory for DEWALT stands, use the square hole in the metal end to mount the accessory.

Locking Locator Clip
The locking locator clip (i) keeps the saw from sliding left or right during cutting operations. To move the clip, remove saw/bracket assembly, loosen the screw in the center of the clip, slide it to the desired position and tighten the screw. You can then remount the saw/bracket in the new location.

Removing the Saw

Once the mitre saw is fastened to the brackets, it can be removed by grasping the release levers, pulling up slightly to clear the beam and can be set down on the non-marring feet for transportation or cleaning.

Carry Handle

A handle (h) has been supplied to transport the mitre saw stand to and from the work site.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury, DO NOT attempt to store the stand with the saw attached. Loss of control may result.
