Combination cutting is simultaneous mitre and bevel cutting. Set the desired mitre angle and then proceed as for bevel cutting.

Supporting Long Workpieces

• Always support long workpieces.
• Support long workpieces using appropriate means, such as saw horses, to prevent the ends of the material from sagging.

Dust Extraction (Fig. 1)

The machine has a dust and chip extraction port (n) at the rear, to which a hose with a diameter of 57/65 mm can be connected. The machine's scope of delivery includes an adapter that allows connection of hoses with diameters of 34 - 40 mm. The blade guard assembly also has a dust and chip extraction port with a diameter of 35 mm.

• When sawing, always use an industrial vacuum cleaner for dust extraction that complies with applicable dust emission guidelines.
• Check that the hose of the vacuum cleaner used is suitable for extracting dust from the material being cut. Handle hoses with care.
• Note that when cutting industrially processed materials such as chipboard or MDF, more dust is generated than when cutting natural wood.

Storage (Figs. 21 - 23)

1. Insert the push stick (u) into the rip fence compartment.
2. Remove the blade guard assembly. See Removing the Blade Guard Assembly. Hook the front part of the blade guard assembly onto the handle and insert its rear part into the handle as shown in the figure, then turn the lever to the left until it locks.
3. Store the saw blade wrench (t) in the pocket until the yellow button appears in the opening, see Fig. 23.
4. Store the mitre gauge guide rail in the pocket, then rotate it and lock it in place. Point the mitre gauge extension upwards so it does not obstruct.
5. Coil the cable at this point (oo).
6. To secure the rip fence, store and lock the workpiece support in place. Remove the fence from the rails. Turn the fence upside down and attach it to the left side of the saw, see Fig. 22. DO NOT hook the locating grooves onto the locating screws on the left side of the fence. These screws, as shown in the figure, should be in the additional space of the rip fence. For security, close the rip fence latches (r).

MAINTENANCE

Transport

• Always carry the machine by the handles provided for this purpose (ww), see Fig. 1.

WARNING: Transport the machine only with the upper blade guard fitted.

MAINTENANCE

The DEWALT table saw is very durable and requires almost no maintenance. However, regular cleaning is essential for continuous, trouble-free operation.

Lubrication (Fig. 20)

The motor and bearings do not require lubrication. If the saw blade is difficult to raise and lower, clean and lubricate the height adjustment screws:

1. Disсonnect the saw from the power supply.
2. Turn the saw onto its side.
3. Clean and lubricate the threads of the height adjustment screws (pp) on the underside of the saw as shown in Fig. 20. Use universal grease for this purpose.

Cleaning (Figs. 1, 19)

WARNING: To minimize the risk of serious injury, always switch off the machine and unplug the power cord from the mains socket before cleaning. Unintentional starting of the saw is extremely dangerous.

WARNING: If dirt accumulates in the ventilation slots, blow it out with dry, compressed air. Wear safety glasses and a dust mask when doing this.

WARNING: Do not use solvents or aggressive chemicals to clean the non-metallic parts of the power tool. Chemicals can weaken the material from which these parts are made. Use a cloth dampened with water and mild soap for this purpose. Be careful not to let any liquid enter the housing. Do not immerse any part of the saw in water.

WARNING! To minimize the risk of injury, regularly clean the table surface.

WARNING! To minimize the risk of injury, regularly clean the suction dust collector.

Before starting the saw, check that the blade guard assembly (k) and the insert plate are in place.

Before use, carefully check the upper and lower blade guards and the suction tube for correct operation. Also check that sawdust, dust, and workpiece chips are not blocking the machine.

If workpiece fragments become jammed between the saw blade and the guards, disconnect the machine from the mains and perform the operations described in the Installing the Saw Blade section. Remove the jammed parts and reinstall the blade.

Regularly clean the ventilation slots and housing with a soft cloth.

Regularly clean the dust extraction system:

1. Unplug the saw's power cord from the mains socket.
2. Turn the saw onto its side to access the lower, open part of the machine.
3. Open the dust extraction system door (qq) as shown in Fig. 19. To do this, unscrew both screws and press the side latches (rr). Remove dust and chips, then close the door by fully engaging the side latches, and then retighten the mounting screws.

Available Accessories

WARNING: As accessories from other manufacturers have not been tested by DEWALT for suitability with this tool, their use may be dangerous. To avoid injury, use only genuine accessories.

Blade Replacement

If the blade guard is worn, replace it. For detailed information, contact your local DEWALT representative.

USE ONLY acoustically dampened SAW BLADES with a diameter of 250 mm and a 30 mm centre hole. The permissible speed of the blade must be at least 5000 rpm. Never use blades with a smaller diameter, as they are not properly guarded.
