General Power Tool Safety Warnings WARNING: Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or batteryoperated (cordless) power tool.
- Work area safety a ) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b ) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c ) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
- Electrical safety a ) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b ) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. c ) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. d ) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. e ) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. f ) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
- Personal safety a ) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. b ) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. c ) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. d ) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. e ) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. f ) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. g ) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dustrelated hazards. h ) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
- Power tool use and care a ) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed. b ) Do not use the power tool
if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. c ) Disconnect
the plug from the power source and/ or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally. d ) Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users. e ) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
2
f ) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g ) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with
these instructions taking into account the working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h ) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and
grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling
and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Guarding Related Warnings
a ) Keep guards in place. Guards must be in working order and be properly mounted. A guard that is loose, damaged, or is not functioning correctly must be repaired or replaced.
b ) Always use saw blade guard, riving knife and anti-kickback pawls for every through-cutting operation. For through-cutting operations where the saw blade cuts completely through the thickness of the workpiece, the guard and other safety devices help reduce the risk of injury.
c ) Immediately reattach the guarding system after completing an operation (such as rabbeting cuts) which requires removal of the guard, riving knife and/or antikickback device. The guard, riving knife, and anti-kickback device help to reduce the risk of injury.
d ) Make sure the saw blade is not contacting the guard, riving knife or the workpiece before the switch is turned on. Inadvertent contact of these items with the saw blade could cause a hazardous condition.
e ) Adjust the riving knife as described in this instruction manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning and alignment can make the riving knife ineffective in reducing the likelihood of kickback.
f ) For the riving knife and anti-kickback pawls to work, they must be engaged in the workpiece. The riving knife and anti-kickback pawls are ineffective when cutting workpieces that are too short to be engaged with the riving knife and anti-kickback pawls. Under these conditions a kickback cannot be prevented by the riving knife and anti-kickback pawls.
g ) Use the appropriate saw blade for the riving knife. For the riving knife to function properly, the saw blade diameter must match the appropriate riving knife and the body of the saw blade must be thinner than the thickness of the riving knife and the cutting width of the saw blade must be wider than the thickness of the riving knife. -
Cutting Procedures Warnings
a )
DANGER: Never place your fingers or hands in the vicinity or in line with the
saw blade. A moment of inattention or a slip could direct your hand towards the
saw blade and result in serious personal injury.
b ) Feed the workpiece into the saw blade or cutter only against the direction of
rotation. Feeding the workpiece in the same direction that the saw blade is rotating above
the table may result in the workpiece, and your hand, being pulled into the saw blade.
c ) Never use the miter gauge to feed the workpiece when ripping and do not use the
rip fence as a length stop when cross cutting with the miter gauge. Guiding the
workpiece with the rip fence and the miter gauge at the same time increases the likelihood of
saw blade binding and kickback.
d ) When ripping, always apply the workpiece feeding force between the fence and the saw blade. Use a push stick when the distance between the fence and the saw blade is less than 5.9″ (150 mm), and use a push block when this distance is less than 2″ (50 mm). “Work helping” devices will keep your hand at a safe distance from the saw blade.
e ) Use only the push stick provided by the manufacturer or constructed in accordance
with the instructions. This push stick provides sufficient distance of the hand from the
saw blade.
f ) Never use a damaged or cut push stick. A damaged push stick may break causing your hand to slip into the saw blade.
g ) Do not perform any operation “freehand”. Always use either the rip fence or the
miter gauge to position and guide the workpiece. “Freehand” means using your
hands to support or guide the workpiece, in lieu of a rip fence or miter gauge.
Freehand sawing leads to misalignment, binding and kickback.
h ) Never reach around or over a rotating saw blade. Reaching for a workpiece may lead to
accidental contact with the moving saw blade.
i ) Provide auxiliary workpiece support to the rear and/or sides of the saw table
for long and/or wide workpieces to keep them level. A long and/or wide workpiece
has a tendency to pivot on the table’s edge, causing loss of control, saw blade binding
and kickback.
j ) Feed workpiece at an even pace. Do not bend or twist the workpiece. If jamming
occurs, turn the tool off immediately, unplug the tool then clear the jam. Jamming
the saw blade by the workpiece can cause kickback or stall the motor.
English
k ) Do not remove pieces of cut-off material while the saw is running. The
material may become trapped between the fence or inside the saw blade guard
and the saw blade pulling your fingers into the saw blade. Turn the saw off
and wait until the saw blade stops before removing material.
l ) Use an auxiliary fence in contact with the table top when ripping
workpieces less than (2 mm) thick. A thin workpiece may wedge under the rip
fence and create a kickback.
3) Kickback Causes and Related Warnings Kickback is a sudden reaction of the
workpiece due to a pinched, jammed saw blade or misaligned line of cut in the
workpiece with respect to the saw blade or when a part of the workpiece binds
between the saw blade and the rip fence or other fixed object.
Most frequently during kickback, the workpiece is lifted from the table by the
rear portion of the saw blade and is propelled towards the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
a ) Never stand directly in line with the saw blade. Always position your body
on the same side of the saw blade as the fence. Kickback may propel the
workpiece at high velocity towards anyone standing in front and in line with
the saw blade.
b ) Never reach over or in back of the saw blade to pull or to support the
workpiece. Accidental contact with the saw blade may occur or kickback may
drag your fingers into the saw blade.
c ) Never hold and press the workpiece that is being cut off against the
rotating saw blade. Pressing the workpiece being cut off against the saw blade
will create a binding condition and kickback.
d ) Align the fence to be parallel with the saw blade. A misaligned fence will
pinch the workpiece against the saw blade and create kickback.
e ) Use a featherboard to guide the workpiece against the table and fence when
making non-through cuts such as rabbeting cuts. A featherboard helps to
control the workpiece in the event of a kickback.
f ) Support large panels to minimize the risk of saw blade pinching and
kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Support(s) must be
placed under all portions of the panel overhanging the table top.
g ) Use extra caution when cutting a workpiece that is twisted, knotted,
warped or does not have a straight edge to guide it with a miter gauge or
along the fence. A warped, knotted, or twisted workpiece is unstable and
causes misalignment of the kerf with the saw blade, binding and kickback.
h ) Never cut more than one workpiece, stacked vertically or horizontally. The
saw blade could pick up one or more pieces and cause kickback.
i ) When restarting the saw with the saw blade in the workpiece, center the
saw blade in the kerf so that the saw teeth are not engaged in the material.
If the saw blade binds, it may lift up the workpiece and cause kickback when
the saw is restarted.
j ) Keep saw blades clean, sharp, and with sufficient set. Never use warped
saw blades or saw blades with cracked or broken teeth. Sharp and properly set
saw blades minimize binding, stalling and kickback.
4) Table Saw Operating Procedure Warnings a ) Turn off the table saw and
disconnect from the power source when removing the table insert, changing the
saw blade or making adjustments to the riving knife, anti-kickback pawls or
saw blade guard, and when the machine is left unattended. Precautionary
measures will avoid accidents.
b ) Never leave the table saw running unattended. Turn it off and don’t leave
the tool until it comes to a complete stop. An unattended running saw is an
uncontrolled hazard.
c ) Locate the table saw in a well-lit and level area where you can maintain
good footing and balance. It should be installed in an area that provides
enough room to easily handle the size of your workpiece. Cramped, dark areas,
and uneven slippery floors invite accidents.
d ) Frequently clean and remove sawdust from under the saw table and/or the
dust collection device. Accumulated sawdust is combustible and may self-
ignite.
e ) The table saw must be secured. A table saw that is not properly secured
may move or tip over.
f ) Remove tools, wood scraps, etc. from the table before the table saw is
turned on. Distraction or a potential jam can be dangerous.
g ) Always use saw blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round)
of arbour holes. Saw blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw
will run off-center, causing loss of control.
h ) Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade mounting means such as flanges,
saw blade washers, bolts or nuts. These mounting means were specially designed
for your saw, for safe operation and optimum performance.
i ) Never stand on the table saw, do not use it as a stepping stool. Serious
injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is
accidentally contacted.
j ) Make sure that the saw blade is installed to rotate in the proper
direction. Do not use grinding wheels, wire brushes, or abrasive wheels on a
table saw. Improper saw blade installation or use of accessories not
recommended may cause serious injury.
Additional Safety Rules for Table Saws WARNING: Cutting plastics, sap coated
wood, and other materials may cause melted material to accumulate on the blade
tips and the body of the saw blade, increasing the risk of blade overheating
and binding while cutting. · Avoid awkward positions, where a sudden slip
could cause a hand to move into a saw blade. · Do not attempt to retrieve
materials near the blade on the saw table while the blade is spinning. · Never
reach in back of, or around, the cutting tool with either hand to hold down
the workpiece. · Keep Arms, Hands and fingers away from the blade to prevent
serious injury. · Use a push stick that is appropriate to the application to
push workpieces through the
saw. A push stick is a wooden or plastic stick, often homemade, that should be
used whenever the size or shape of the workpiece would cause you to place your
hands within 6″ (152 mm) of the blade. · Use hold-downs, jigs, fixtures or
feather boards to help guide and control the workpiece. Accessories for use
with your tool are available at extra cost from your local dealer or
authorized service center. Instructions for making a push stick, a narrow rip
auxiliary fence, a push block and feather boards are included in this manual.
· Do not perform ripping, crosscutting or any other operation freehand. ·
NEVER reach around or over saw blade while the blade is spinning. · Stability.
Make sure the table saw is firmly mounted to a secure surface before use and
does not move. · The table saw should only be set up on a level and stable
surface. The work area should be free from obstructions and trip hazards. No
materials or tools should be leaned against the saw. · Never cut metals,
cement board or masonry. Certain man-made materials have special instructions
for cutting on table saws. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations at all
times. Damage to the saw and personal injury may result. · Do not install a
diamond masonry blade and attempt to use the table saw as a wet saw. · The
proper throat plate must be locked in place at all times to reduce the risk of
a thrown workpiece and possible injury. · Wear gloves when handling saw
blades. · Use the correct saw blade for the intended operation. The blade must
rotate toward the front of the saw. Always tighten the blade arbor nut
securely. Before use, inspect the blade for cracks or missing teeth. Do not
use a damaged or dull blade. · Never attempt to free a stalled saw blade
without first turning the machine off and disconnect the plug from the power
source. If a workpiece or cut-off piece becomes trapped inside the blade guard
assembly, turn saw off and wait for blade to stop before lifting the blade
guard assembly and removing the piece. · Never Start The Machine with the
workpiece against the blade to reduce the risk of a thrown workpiece and
personal injury. · Do Not Have Any Part Of Your Body In Line With The Blade.
Personal injury may occur. Stand to either side of the blade. · Never Perform
Layout, Assembly Or Set-Up Work on the table/work area when the machine is
running. A sudden slip could cause a hand to move into the blade. Severe
injury can result. · Never perform any adjustments while the saw is running
such as fence repositioning or removal, bevel lock adjustment, or blade height
adjustment. · Clean the table/work area before leaving the machine. Lock the
switch in the “OFF” position and disconnect the plug from the power source to
prevent unauthorized use. · ALWAYS lock the fence and bevel adjustment before
cutting. · Avoid overheating the saw blade tips. Keep material moving and
parallel with the fence. Do not force work into the blade. · If cutting
plastic materials, avoid melting the plastic. · DO NOT leave a long board (or
other workpiece) unsupported so the spring of the board causes it to shift on
the table resulting in loss of control and possible injury. Provide proper
support for the workpiece, based on its size and the type of operation to be
performed. Hold the work firmly against the fence and down against the table
surface. · If this saw makes an unfamiliar noise or if it vibrates
excessively, cease operating immediately, turn unit off and disconnect from
the plug from the power source until the problem has been located and
corrected. Contact a DEWALT factory service center, a DEWALT authorized
service center or other qualified service personnel if the problem can not be
found. · Do not operate this machine until it is completely assembled and
installed according to the instructions. A machine incorrectly assembled can
cause serious injury. · NEVER attempt to cut a stack of loose pieces of
material which could cause loss of control or kickback. Support all materials
securely.
Saw Blades · Do not use saw blades that do not conform to the dimensions
stated in the Specifications. Do
not use any spacers to make a blade fit onto the spindle. Use only the blades
specified in this manual, complying with EN847-1, if intended for wood and
similar materials. · Consider applying specially designed noise-reduction
blades. · Do not use high steel (HS) saw blades. · Do not use cracked or
damaged saw blades. · Ensure that the chosen saw blade is suitable for the
material to be cut.

English
· Always wear gloves for handling saw blades and rough material. Saw blades should be carried in a holder wherever practicable.
Additional Safety Information WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting
operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
· ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
· ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
· NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection. WARNING: Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
· lead from lead-based paints,
· crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
· arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that
are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
· Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash
exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes,
or lay on the skin may promote
absorption of harmful chemicals. WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or
disperse dust, which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other
injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory
protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face
and body. WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing protection that
conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) during use. Under some conditions and duration
of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.
· Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. Loose clothes,
jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
· An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge)
for safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity
of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. When using more than one extension to make up the total length,
be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. The
following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The lower
the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal injury, make sure table saw is firmly
mounted to a
stable surface or stand provided before use. CAUTION: Ensure that the surface
is stable enough that large pieces of material will not
cause it to tip over during use.
The table saw must be mounted firmly. The mounting surface must have a 15″ by
15″ (38 x 38 cm) opening to allow dust to escape. Four holes 9 are provided in
the tool’s base for mounting. We strongly recommend that these holes be used
to anchor the table saw to your workbench or other stationary rigid frame. 1.
Center the saw on a square piece of 1/2″ (12.7 mm) plywood. The plywood must
have a
15″ x 15″ (38 x 38 cm) opening to allow dust to escape. 2. Mark the positions
of the two rear mounting holes (spaced 85/8″ [220 mm] apart) in the
frame of the saw with a pencil. Then measure forward 195/8″ (498.5 mm) for
the two front holes spaced 9-1/16″ (230 mm) apart. 3. Remove the saw and drill
5/16″ (7.9 mm) 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″ (6.4 mm)
machine screws FROM THE BOTTOM. Install washers and 5/16″ (7.9 mm) 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 wood screws
installed from the top side as long as they don’t protrude through the bottom
of the strip. 6. Use a “C” clamp to secure the plywood base to your workbench
whenever you use the saw.

· The saw blade furnished with your new saw is a 10″ (254 mm) combination
blade, used for crosscutting (across the grain) and ripping (with the grain)
through the material. The center hole to fit on the arbor is 5/8″ (16 mm)
diameter. This blade will produce a good quality cut for most applications.
· There are many types of blades available to do specific and special jobs
such as cross cut only, rip only, hollow ground, thin plywood, paneling, etc.
· Use only saw blades designed for maximum safe operating speeds of 5000 RPM
or greater.
· Saw blades should always be kept sharp. It is recommended that you locate a
reputable sharpening service to sharpen your blades when needed.
· Never stack blades on top of one another to store. Place material such as
cardboard between
them to keep the blades from coming in contact with one another. CAUTION: To
reduce the risk of injury, abrasive wheels or blades (including diamond)
should not be used on this saw.
Splitter and Riving Knife Selection (Fig. WY) WARNING: To minimize the risk of kickback and to ensure proper cutting, the splitter and riving knife must be the proper thickness for the blade used.
The splitter and riving knife supplied with this table saw is the correct size for the blade supplied
with the saw.
If a different blade is used, check the blade body (plate) thickness and the blade kerf (cutting)
width marked on the blade or on the blade packaging. The splitter and riving knife thickness
must be greater than the body thickness and less than the kerf width as shown in Figure W.

width dimensions are not provided, use the following procedure to determine
the correct riving knife thickness: 1. Measure the body thickness of the
blade. 2. Make a shallow cut in scrap material and measure the kerf width. 3.
Select the riving knife (Fig. X).
Fig. Y
There are two basic types of cutting with table saws: ripping and
crosscutting. Regardless of material, man made or natural wood, the
distinction between ripping and crosscutting is as follows: Ripping is cutting
to a different width (usually with the grain) and crosscutting describes
cutting material across the shorter dimension (usually against the grain).
WARNING: When ripping, always use the fence to provide a guide for the
material and
blade guard assembly to protect against a kickback situation.
WARNING: Never perform any cutting operation free hand. Never perform plunge
cutting.
CAUTION: When crosscutting, always use the miter gauge. On-Off Switch (Fig. Z)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, be sure the switch is in the OFF
position before plugging machine in.
Push green button 8 in to turn this saw on and push down the red paddle to
turn this saw off.
Fig. Z
4. Slide the splitter/riving knife through the shallow cut made in step 2 to
confirm the correct riving knife has been selected. The riving knife should
not bind or drag through the cut (Fig. Y).
iMPORTAnT: If any dragging or binding of the material is encountered as it
reaches the riving knife, turn unit off and disconnect machine from power
source. Repeat steps 14 to make the proper riving knife selection before
attempting another cut.
Kickback
Kickback is a dangerous condition! It is caused by the workpiece binding
against the blade. The result is that the workpiece can move rapidly in a
direction opposite to the feed direction. During kickback, the workpiece could
be thrown back at the operator. It can also drag the operator’s hand back into
the blade if the operator’s hand is at the rear of the blade. If kickback
occurs, turn the saw OFF and verify the proper functioning of the riving
knife, anti-kickback assembly and
blade guard assembly before resuming work. WARNING: See Safety Instructions
for Table Saws and follow all warnings provided regarding KICKBACK.
OPERATION 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. WARNING: Before using the saw, verify the following each and every
time:
· ALWAYS wear proper eye, hearing and respiratory equipment. · Blade is
securely tightened. · Bevel angle and height lock knobs are tight. · If
ripping, ensure fence lock lever is tight and fence is parallel to the blade.
· If crosscutting, miter gauge knob is tight. · The blade guard assembly is
properly attached and the anti-kickback assembly
is functioning. · ALWAYS inspect the blade guard assembly and riving knife for
proper alignment,
operation and clearance with saw blade. · ALWAYS make sure both clear side
guards are in the down position in contact with the
table before operating. WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, have push stick ready to use before starting cut.
Failure to adhere to these common safety rules can greatly increase the
likelihood of injury. 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. WARNING: Before connecting the table saw to the power source or
operating the saw, always inspect the blade guard assembly and riving knife
for proper operation alignment and clearance with saw blade. Personal injury
may result. WARNING: Ripping or crosscutting may cause saw to tip over while
operating. Make sure
saw is securely mounted to a stable surface. WARNING: Never use the fence and
miter gauge together. This may cause a kickback
condition and injure the operator. CAUTION: If this saw makes an unfamiliar
noise or if it vibrates excessively, cease operating
immediately, turn unit off and disconnect from power source until the problem
has been located and corrected. Contact a DEWALT factory service center, a
DEWALT authorized service
center or other qualified service personnel if the problem cannot be found.
CAUTION: The proper throat plate must be in place at all times to reduce the
risk of a thrown workpiece and possible injury.

saw. nOTE: When ripping, always lock the rail lock lever.
Work Support Extension/Narrow Ripping Fence The table saw is equipped with a
narrow ripping fence that also supports work that extends beyond the saw
table. To use the narrow ripping fence in the work support position, rotate it
from its stored position as shown in Figure BB, and slide the pins into the
lower sets of slots 55 on both ends of the fence. To use the narrow ripping
fence in the narrow ripping position, snap the pins into the upper sets of
slots 56 on both ends of the fence. This feature will allow 2″ (51 mm) of
extra clearance to the blade. Refer to Figure CC. If more clearance is
necessary, follow directions for making an auxiliary fence under narrow Rip
Auxiliary Fence in the Storage section. nOTE: When not in use, the narrow
ripping fence should be placed in its stored position. nOTE: When using the
narrow ripping fence, subtract 2″ (51mm) from the indicated rip scale reading.

nOTE: This fence will allow the guard to remain on the saw when completing
narrow ripping. This fence will provide ample space for a push stick. If you
prefer more clearance for push blocks or push sticks, refer to Narrow Rip
Auxiliary Fence.
Fine Adjustment Knob (Fig. CC) The fine adjustment knob 4 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. The rip scale pointer only reads correctly when the fence is installed
in position 1 or 2 to the right side of the blade. When using the narrow
ripping fence for narrow ripping (not in work support position), subtract 2″
(51mm) from the indicated rip scale reading. See Adjusting the Rip Scale under
Assembly.
Through-Cutting Operations
WARNING: Use blade guard assembly for all through-cutting operations. Ripping
(Fig. DD)
WARNING: Never touch the “free end” of the workpiece or a “free piece” that is
cut off, while the power is ON and/or the saw blade is rotating. Piece may
contact the blade resulting in a
thrown workpiece and possible injury. WARNING: A rip fence should ALWAYS be
used for ripping operations to prevent loss of control and personal injury.
NEVER perform a ripping operation freehand. ALWAYS lock the fence to the rail.
WARNING: When bevel ripping and whenever possible, place the fence on the side
of the
blade so that the blade is tilted away from the fence and hands. WARNING: Keep
hands clear of the blade.
WARNING: Use the riving knife for non thru-sawing when blade guard assembly
cannot
be used. WARNING: Use a push stick to feed the workpiece if there is 26″
(51152 mm) between
the fence and the blade. Use a narrow ripping fence feature and push block to
feed the workpiece if there is 2″ (51 mm) or narrower between the fence and
the blade. 1. Lock the rip fence by pressing the rail lock lever down. Remove
the miter gauge. 2. Raise the blade so it is about 1/8″ (3.2 mm) higher than
the top of the workpiece. 3. Hold the workpiece flat on the table and against
the fence. Keep the workpiece about
1″ (25.4 mm) away from the blade.
Fig. DD
CAUTION: The workpiece must have a straight edge against the fence and must
not be warped, twisted or bowed. Keep both hands away from the blade and away
from the path of the blade. See proper hand position in Figure EE.
4. Turn the saw on and allow the blade to come up to speed. Both hands can be
used in starting the cut. When there is approximately 12″ (305 mm) left to be
ripped, use only one hand, with your thumb pushing the material, your index
and second finger holding the material down and your other fingers hooked over
the fence. Always keep your thumb along side your first two fingers and near
the fence.
5. Keeping the workpiece against the table and fence, slowly feed the
workpiece rearward all the way through the saw blade. Continue pushing the
workpiece until it is clear of the blade guard assembly and it falls off the
rear of the table. Do not overload the motor.
English 6. Never try to pull the workpiece back with the blade turning. Turn
the switch off, allow the
blade to stop, raise the anti-kickback teeth on each side of the riving knife
if necessary and slide the workpiece out. 7. When sawing a long piece of
material or a panel, always use a work support. A sawhorse, rollers, or out
feed assembly provides adequate support for this purpose. The work support
must be at the same height or slightly lower than the saw table. CAUTION:
Never push or hold onto the free or cut-off side of the workpiece if it is
between the blade and the fence. Ripping Small Pieces (Fig. EE) It is unsafe
to rip small pieces. It is not safe to put your hands close to the blade.
Instead, rip a larger piece to obtain the desired piece. When a small width is
to be ripped and the hand cannot be safely put between the blade and the rip
fence, use one or more push sticks. A pattern is included at the end of this
manual to make push sticks. A push stick 22 is included with this saw,
attached to the rip fence. Use the push stick(S) to hold the workpiece against
the table and fence, and push the workpiece fully past the blade.
Fig. EE
22
Bevel Ripping (Fig. FF) This operation is the same as ripping except the bevel
angle is set to an angle other than zero degrees. For proper hand position,
Refer to Figure FF.
Fig. FF
WARNING: Before connecting the table saw to the power source or operating the
saw, always inspect the blade guard assembly and riving knife for proper
alignment and clearance with saw blade. Check alignment after each change of
bevel angle.
Crosscutting (Fig. GG) WARNING: NEVER touch the “free end” of the workpiece or
a “free piece” that is cut off, while the power is ON and/or the saw blade is
rotating. Piece may contact the blade resulting in a thrown workpiece and
possible injury. WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, NEVER use the fence as
a guide or length stop
when crosscutting. WARNING: NEVER use a length stop on the free end of the
workpiece when crosscutting.
In short, the cut-off piece in any thru-sawing (cutting completely through the
workpiece) operation must never be confined — it must be allowed to move away
from saw blade to prevent contact with blade resulting in a thrown workpiece
and possibly injury. WARNING: Use caution when starting the cut to prevent
binding of the blade guard
assembly against the workpiece resulting in damage to saw and possible injury.
CAUTION: When using a block as a cut-off gauge, the block must be at least
3/4″ (19 mm)
thick and is very important that the rear end of the block be positioned so
the workpiece is clear of the block before it enters the blade to prevent
contact with blade resulting in a thrown workpiece and possibly injury. 1.
Remove the rip fence and place the miter gauge in the desired slot. 2. Adjust
the blade height so that the blade is about 1/8″ (3.2 mm) higher than the top
of
the workpiece. 3. Hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge with the
path of the blade in line with
the desired cut location. Keep the workpiece an inch or so in front of the
blade. KEEP BOTH HANDS AWAY FROM THE BLADE AND THE PATH OF THE BLADE (Fig.
GG).
9
English
Fig. GG
4. Start the saw motor and allow the blade to come up to speed. 5. While
using both hands to keep the workpiece against the face of the miter gauge,
and
holding the workpiece flat against the table, slowly push the workpiece
through the blade. 6. Never try to pull the workpiece with the blade turning.
Turn the switch off, allow the blade to
stop, and carefully slide the workpiece out. CAUTION: Never touch or hold onto
the free or cut-off end of the workpiece.
Bevel Crosscutting
This operation is the same as crosscutting except that the bevel angle is set
to an angle other
than 0°. WARNING: Before connecting the table saw to the power source or
operating the saw, always inspect the blade guard assembly and riving knife
for proper alignment and clearance with saw blade. Check alignment after each
change of bevel angle.
Mitering (Fig. HH) WARNING: Miter angles greater than 45° may force the blade
guard assembly into the saw blade causing damage to the blade guard assembly
and personal injury. Before starting the motor, test the operation by feeding
the workpiece into the blade guard assembly. If the blade guard assembly
contacts the blade, place the workpiece under the blade guard
assembly, not touching the blade, before starting the motor. CAUTION: Certain
workpiece shapes, such as molding may not lift the blade guard assembly
properly. Feed the workpiece slowly to start the cut. If the blade guard
assembly contacts the blade, place the workpiece under the blade guard
assembly, not touching the blade, before starting the motor. This operation is
the same as crosscutting except the miter gauge is locked at an angle other
than 0°. Hold the workpiece FIRMLY against the miter gauge 10 and feed the
workpiece slowly into the blade (to prevent the workpiece from moving).

Miter Gauge Operation To set your miter gauge: 1. Loosen the miter gauge lock
knob. 2. Move the miter gauge to the desired angle. 3. Tighten the miter gauge
lock knob. Compound Mitering This is a combination of bevel crosscutting and
mitering. Follow the instructions for both bevel crosscutting and mitering.
Non-Through-Cutting (Grooving and Rabbeting) WARNING: Remove the blade guard
assembly 11 and install the non-through-cutting riving knife 23 for non-
through-cutting operations. Use featherboards for all non-throughcutting
operations where the blade guard assembly, anti-kickback assembly and riving
kife cannot be used.
Instructions in the Ripping, Crosscutting, Bevel Crosscutting, Mitering, and
Compound Mitering sections are for cuts made through the full thickness of the
material. The saw can also perform non-through cuts to form grooves or rabbets
in the material.
Non-Through-Ripping (Fig. II) WARNING: A rip fence should ALWAYS be used for
ripping operations to prevent loss of control and personal injury. NEVER
perform a ripping operation freehand. ALWAYS lock the fence to the rail.
WARNING: When bevel ripping and whenever possible, place the fence on the side
of the
blade so that the blade is tilted away from the fence and hands. WARNING: Keep
hands clear of the blade. With non-through-cutting the blade is not
always visible during the cut, so increased caution is necessary to ensure
hands are clear of the blade.
WARNING: Use a push stick to feed the workpiece if there are 26″ (51152 mm)
between the fence and the blade. Use a narrow ripping fence feature and push
block to feed the workpiece if there are 2″ (51 mm) or narrower between the
fence and the blade. 1. Remove the blade guard assembly 11 and install the
non-through-cutting riving knife 23 (Fig. G). Refer to Installing/Removing the
Blade Guard Assembly and Riving Knife. 2. Lock the rip fence by pressing the
rail lock lever down. Remove the miter gauge. 3. Raise the blade to the
desired cut depth. 4. Hold the workpiece flat on the table and against the
fence. Keep the workpiece about 1″ (25.4 mm) away from the blade. Fig. II
WARNING: The workpiece must have a straight edge against the fence and must
not be warped, twisted or bowed. Keep both hands away from the blade and away
from the path of the blade. See proper hand position in Figure II. 5. Turn the
saw on and allow the blade to come up to speed. Both hands can be used in
starting
the cut. When there are approximately 12″ (305 mm) left to be ripped, use only
one hand, with your thumb pushing the material, your index and second finger
holding the material down and your other fingers hooked over the fence. Always
keep your thumb along side your first two fingers and near the fence. 6.
Keeping the workpiece against the table and fence, slowly feed the workpiece
rearward all the way through the saw blade. Continue pushing the workpiece
until it is clear of the blade guard assembly and it falls off the rear of the
table. Do not overload the motor. 7. Never try to pull the workpiece back with
the blade turning. Turn the switch off, allow the blade to stop and slide the
workpiece out. 8. When sawing a long piece of material or a panel, always use
a work support. A sawhorse, rollers, or out feed assembly provides adequate
support for this purpose. The work support must be at the same height or
slightly lower than the saw table. Non-Through-Ripping Small Pieces (Fig. A)
It is unsafe to rip small pieces. It is not safe to put your hands close to
the blade. Instead, rip a larger piece to obtain the desired piece. When a
small width is to be ripped and the hand cannot be safely put between the
blade and the rip fence, use one or more push sticks. A pattern is included at
the end of this manual to make push sticks. A push stick 22 is included with
this saw, attached to the rip fence. Use the push stick(s) to hold the
workpiece against the table and fence, and push the workpiece fully past the
blade. Non-Through-Bevel Ripping (Fig. JJ) This operation is the same as non-
through-cut ripping except the bevel angle is set to an angle other than zero
degrees. For proper hand position, Refer to Figure JJ.

WARNING: Before connecting to power source or operating the saw, always
inspect the riving knife for proper alignment and clearance with saw blade.
Check alignment after each change of bevel angle.
Non-Through-Crosscutting WARNING: NEVER use rip fence in combination with
miter gauge.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, NEVER use the fence as a guide or
length stop
when crosscutting. WARNING: When using a block as a cut-off gauge, the block
must be at least 3/4″ (19 mm)
thick and is very important that the rear end of the block be positioned so
the workpiece is clear of the block before it enters the blade to prevent
contact with blade resulting in a thrown workpiece and possibly injury. 1.
Remove the rip fence and place the miter gauge in the desired slot. 2. Adjust
the blade height to the desired cut depth. 3. Hold the workpiece firmly
against the miter gauge 10 with the path of the blade in line with
the desired cut location. Keep the workpiece an inch or so in front of the
blade. KEEP BOTH HANDS AWAY FROM THE BLADE AND THE PATH OF THE BLADE. 4. Start
the saw motor and allow the blade to come up to speed. 5. While using both
hands to keep the workpiece against the face of the miter gauge, and holding
the workpiece flat against the table, slowly push the workpiece through the
blade. 6. Never try to pull the workpiece with the blade turning. Turn the
switch off, allow the blade to stop, and carefully slide the workpiece out.
Non-Through-Bevel Crosscutting This operation is the same as crosscutting
except that the bevel angle is set to an angle other
than 0°. WARNING: Before connecting connecting to power source or operating
the saw, always inspect the riving knife for proper alignment and clearance
with saw blade. Check alignment after each change of bevel angle. Non-Through-
Mitering (Fig. KK) This operation is the same as crosscutting except the miter
gauge is locked at an angle other than 0°. Hold the workpiece FIRMLY against
the miter gauge 10 and feed the workpiece slowly into the blade (to prevent
the workpiece from moving). non-Through-Miter gauge Operation To set your
miter gauge: 1. Loosen the miter gauge lock knob 59 . 2. Move the miter gauge
to the desired angle. 3. Tighten the miter gauge lock knob.

attempting to make it with one pass. Maximum dado width on this saw is 13/16″
(20 mm).
DO NOT USE WIDER COMBINATIONS. CAUTION: Always check dado blade clearance
before plugging in the saw.
Be sure to place the blade guard assembly and standard throat plate back in
position and check adjustments when the dado cuts are complete. Reinstall
blade guard assembly, anti-kickback assembly and riving knife.
Dust Collection (Fig. A, LL)
This table saw is equipped with guard dust collection port 16 and dust
collection port 15 . For best results, connect a vacuum to the port at the
rear of the saw and on the guard using a Y connector. The Y connector is
available as an accessory at additional cost. Refer to Accessories.
NOTICE: Care should be taken to position hoses to not interfere with cutting
operation. After extended use, the saw’s dust collection system may become
clogged. To clear the dust collection system: 1. Unplug the saw. 2. Turn the
saw on its side, so the bottom, open part of the unit is accessible. 3. Open
the dust access door 50 shown in Figure LL by removing the screws and pressing
the
the side clips 51 toward each other. Clean out the excess dust, and re-secure
by pushing the side clips completely into place and loose the screw.

Motor Overload and Power Loss Reset Switch
If power is interrupted by a circuit breaker trip, or power is lost, the saw
contains a power loss reset switch feature that will automatically reset to
OFF position. Circuit breaker overload is often the result of a dull blade.
Change your blade on a regular basis to avoid tripping your breaker.
Disconnect the saw from power source and check your blade before re-setting
the circuit breaker and continuing to saw.
Lubrication (Fig. MM)
1. All motor bearings are permanently lubricated at the factory and no
additional lubrication is needed.
2. The height adjustment screw may require periodic cleaning and lubrication
to ensure thread area clear. If you have difficulty raising or lowering the
blade: a. Unplug the saw. b. Turn the saw on its side, so the bottom, open
part of the unit is accessible. c. Clean and lubricate the height adjustment
screw threads 52 on the underside of this saw with general purpose grease.
Refer to Figure MM. Fig. MM
non-Through-Compound Mitering This is a combination of non-through-bevel
crosscutting and non-through-mitering. Follow the instructions for both non-
through-bevel crosscutting and non-through-mitering.
Dado Cutting CAUTION: Do not attempt to stack dado blades thicker than 13/16″
(20 mm). Do not use dado blades larger than 8″ (200 mm) diameter. Since dado
cuts are non-through cuts, the cuts must be performed with the blade guard
assembly removed. Since the dado blade is smaller diameter and thicker than
the standard blade, the non-through cutting riving knife also cannot be used.
To remove the blade guard assembly or non-through cut riving knife, pull
riving knife/blade guard release lever and pull up on the guard or riving
knife to remove. Use EXTREME care when using the dado without the blade guard
assembly and riving knife. When using the dado, the special dado insert (also
sold as an accessory) must be used. Anytime a cut is required that is
considerably wider than the saw kerf, a dado is used. A dado cut is commonly
used to add support and line up a shelf for a cabinet, bookcase or some such
project. If a deep cut is required, use several successive passes rather than
