Important Safety Instructions for All Tools

_ARNING: For your own safety, read the instruction manual before operating the

sliding compound miter saw. Failure to heed these warnings may result in person-

al injury and serious damage to the saw. When servicing this tool use only identical

replacement parts. Have damaged cords replaced by an authorized service center.

DOUBLE INSULATION

Double insulated tools are constructed throughout with two separate layers of electrical insula-

tion or one double thickness of insulation between you and the tool's electrical system. Toolsbuilt

with this insulation system are not intended to be grounded. As a result, your tool is equipped

with a two prong plug which permits you to use extension cords without concem for maintaining

a ground connection.

NOTE: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when operating

this tool The insulation system is for added protection against injury resulting from a possible

electrical insulation failure within the tool.

POLARIZED PL UGS

Toreduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has apolarized plug (one blade is wider than

the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one waF If the plug does not fit fully into the

outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper

outlet. Do not change the plug in any waF

AWARNING: When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed

to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal inju_ including the following:

•KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working orde_

• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys

and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.

• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.

• DON'T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't use power tools in damp or wet loca-

tions, or expose them to rain or snow Keep work area weft lighted. Always operate tool in a

well-ventilated area free of combustible materials, gasoline or solvent vapors. If sparks come

in contact with flammable vapors, they may ignite, causing fire or explosion.

• KEEP CHILDRENAWAY. All visitors should be kept safe distance from work area.

• MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master switches, orby removing starter keys.

•DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

• USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force tool or attachment to do ajob for which it was not designed.

• USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.

When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your

product will draw An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in overheating

and loss ofpowe_ The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length

and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage

number, the heavier the cord.Minimum Gage for Cord Sets

• WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or

other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear

protective hair covering to contain long hair.Air vents often cover moving parts and should also

be avoided.

•ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dust}<

Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses.

•SECURE WORK. Use clamps or vise when you cannot secure the workpiece on the table

and against the fence by hand or when your hand will be dangerously close to the blade

(within 6").

• DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest

performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

• DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when changing accessories, such as blades,

clamps, extensions, and the like.

•REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in off position

before plugging in.

• USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the instruction manual for recommended

accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.

• NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped orif the cutting tool

is unintentionally contacted.

• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool a guard or other part that is

damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its

intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of

parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part

that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

• NEVER LEA VE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don't leave tool until

it comes to a complete stop.

CAUTION: Wear appropriate hearing protection during use. Under some conditions and

duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.

CAUTION: Do not connect unit to electrical power source until complete instructions are

read and understood.

AWARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other con-

struction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproduc-

tive 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 (CCA).

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 pro-

Amote absorption of harmful chemicals.

WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse 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

AWARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses.

Electrical Connection and Motor

Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate marking.

If this unit is operated from a DC source, such as a welder

power supply, switch failure will occur. Do not use a DC power

supply. A voltage decrease of 10% or more will cause a loss

of power and overheating. Additionally, incorrect voltage may

result in shock, fire, or unpredictable operation. All DEWALT

tools are factory tested. If this tool does not operate, check the

power supply.

Unpacking Your Saw

Your DW712 Miter Saw is assembled before it is packed in the

carton. Parts packed with your saw include

1. One 30 tooth DEWALT 8-1/2" (216 ram) diameter saw

blade, mounted on the saw

2. One blade wrench stored in the rail end cap wrench pocket.

Familiarization

Your sliding compound miter saw is

fully assembled in the carton. Open

the box and lift the saw out gently by

the handle and the rails, as shown.

Place the saw on a smooth, flat sur-

face such as a workbench or strong

table.

Read all of the instructions thor-

oughly to become familiar with the

saw and its various parts. The fol-

lowing section on adjustments will refer to these terms and you

must know what and where the parts are.

Press down lightly on the operating A

handle and pull out the lock down pin (A).

Gently release the downward pressure and

allow the arm to rise to its full height.

Controls

Your sliding compound miter saw has several

main controls which will be discussed briefly here. For more

information on these controls, see the respective sections later

in the manual.

MITER CONTROL

The miter lock lever (B) and detent

button (C) allow you to miter your saw

50° left and 60° right. To miter the saw,

lift the miter lock lever, push the detent

button and set the miter angle desired C

on the miter scale. Push down on the

miter lock lever to lock the saw table in

place.

TRIGGER SWITCH

The trigger switch (D) turns your saw on and off. It can be used

with either hand. You can lock the saw off by placing a padlock

in the hole provided in the trigger switch.

BEVEL LOCK

The bevel adjustment/lock handle

(F) allows you to bevel your saw 45° UNLOCK

left. To loosen the lever and adjust the

bevel setting, turn the handle counter-

clockwise. The saw head bevels easily _,K

to the left. To tighten, turn the handle

clockwise. Bevel degree markings are on the right side of the

support housing.

BEVEL STOP OVERRIDE

The bevel stop override (G) allows you

to override the pre-set bevel stop at 0°

and at 45° to allow for greater bevel

capacity of -2°to 48°. The bevel stop

system also has a built in crown mold-

ing setting at 33.85 °.

The saw will automatically stop at 0°

and 45°. To move past 0° or 45°, pull and turn the bevel stop

override to the -2° or 48°setting. You must bevel the saw to

the left of the zero stop before adjusting the knob, Pull and

turn the bevel stop override to set the saw for crown molding

setting (33.85 °) as well.

RAIL LOCK KNOB

The rail lock knob (H) allows you to

lock the saw head firmly to keep it from

sliding. Turn the knob clockwise to lock

the sawhead. Turn the knob counter-

clockwise to allow the sawhead to move.

It is necessary to lock the sawhead when

making certain adjustments or when

transporting the saw.

GROOVING STOP

The grooving stop allows for groove cutting. Flipping the groov-

ing lever (I) toward the front of the saw and adjusting the

thumbscrew (J) changes the depth of the groove cut. In order

to cut a groove of constant depth, place a block of wood at

least 2" wide against the fence. Otherwise, the groove will be

less deep near the fence. Flipping the lever toward the rear of

the saw bypasses this feature.

MOVABLE FENCE ADJUSTMENT KNOB

The fence adjustment knob (K)

allows adjustment of the left fence. Loosen

the plastic adjustment knob located behind

the fence and slide the fence toward or

away from the blade. Retighten the adjust-

ment knob before operating the saw.

Bench Mounting

Holes (M) are provided to facilitate

bench mounting. (Two differently

sized holes are provided to accom-

modate different sizes of screws.

Use either hole; it is not necessary

to use both.) Always mount your

saw firmly to prevent movement,

To enhance the tool's portability, it can be mounted to a piece

of 1/2" (12.7mm) or thicker plywood which can then be

clamped to your work support or moved to other job sites and

reclamped.

NOTE: If you elect to mount your saw to a piece of plywood,

make sure that the mounting screws don't protrude from the

bottom of the wood. The plywood must sit flush on the work

support. When clamping the saw to any work surface, clamp

only on the clamping bosses where the mounting screw holes

are located. Clamping at any other point will interfere with the

proper operation of the saw.

ACAUTION: To prevent binding and inaccuracy, be sure the

mounting surface is not warped or otherwise uneven. If the saw

rocks on the surface, place a thin piece of material under one

saw foot until the saw sits firmly on the mounting surface.

Transporting the Saw

AWARNING: Disconnect the saw from the power supply,

turn off the machine and allow the blade to come to a com-

plete stop before raising the arm and prior to cleaning the

blade area, removing debris in the path of the blade,

before servicing or adjusting tool A moving blade can

cause serious injury.

Use the lock down pin when carrying the saw from one place

to another. The lock clown pin is not to be used for any cutting

operation; it is for carrying and storage only. When transporting

the saw, always lock the head in the down position, miter the

saw fully to the right (60° miter), lock the miter adjustment/lock

handle, lock the rail lock knob with the head fully extended,

slide the fences completely inward, and lock the bevel adjust-

merit/lock lever with the saw at a 0° bevel. Always use the car-

rying hand holds in the base to transport the saw.

Adjustments

AWARNING: Disconnect the saw from the power supply,

turn off the machine and allow the blade to come to a com-

plete stop before raising the arm and prior to cleaning the

blade area, removing debris in the path of the blade,

before servicing or adjusting tool A moving blade can

cause serious injury.

NOTE: Your sliding compound miter saw is fully and accurate-

ly adjusted at the factory. If readjustment due to shipping and

handling or any other reason is required, follow the steps

below.

Once made, these adjustments should remain accurate.

MITER SCALE ADJUSTMENT

Place a square against the

saw's base, fence, and blade,

as shown. Do not touch the tips

of the blade teeth with the

square because this will cause

an inaccurate measurement.

Lift the miter lock lever and

press the miter lock button.

Swing the miter arm until it

locks at the 0° miter position. If N

the saw blade is not exactly

perpendicular to the fence, loosen the four screws (N) that hold

the miter scale to the base and move the scale and miter arm

assembly left or right until the blade is perpendicular to the

fence as measured with the square. Retighten the screws,

starting with the outer two screws, then tightening the inner

two. You will know that the blade is perpendicular (square) to

the fence when no gap is visible between the blade and the

square or the fence and the square. Pay no attention to the

reading of the miter pointer at this point.

MITER POINTER ADJUSTMENT

Lift the miter lock lever and move the miter arm to the zero

position. With the miter lock lever open, allow the miter latch to

snap into place as you rotate the miter arm to zero. Observe

the pointer and miter scale. If the pointer does not indicate

exactly zero, loosen the screw (O) that holds the pointer in

place and gently move the pointer left or right. Retighten the

screw after setting the pointer to zero.

MITER LOCK ROD ADJUSTMENT

The miter lock rod should be adjusted if the

table of the saw can be moved when the

miter lock lever is locked-down.

To adjust the miter lock rod (P), unlock the p

miter lock lever. Using a slotted screwdriver,

tighten the lock rod by turning it clockwise.

Turn the lock rod until it is tight, then turn

counterclockwise 1/4 turn. To ensure that the

lock lever is functioning properly, re-lock the

miter lock to a non-detented measurement on

the miter scale --for example, 34 °_ and

verify that the table will not rotate.

BEVEL STOPS AND POINTER

ADJUSTMENT

Adjusting the bevel stop and pointer to 0°

Place the saw in the up position (0° bevel, so

that the blade is perpendicular to the table of

the saw). Push the saw head fully back

toward the fence and lock the rail lock knob.

Place a square against the saw's base,

fence, and blade as shown. Do not touch the tips of the blade

teeth with the square because this will cause an inaccurate

measurement. Partially loosen the bevel lock handle so that the

bevel movement is snug, but not locked.

Push the head of saw to the right

until the saw head contacts the 0° bevel

stop. Adjust the 0° bevel stop screw (Q)

until the blade is perpendicular to the

base of the saw. Completely tighten the

bevel lock handle so that the saw head

is locked. Make sure that the bevel Q

pointer indicates 0° exactly. If it does

not, loosen the screw that holds the pointer in place, and gently

move the pointer left or right. Retighten the screw after setting the

pointer to 0°.

Adjusting the bevel stop to 45°left

NOTE: Adjust the 45 ° bevel

angles only after performing the 0°

bevel angle adjustment and bevel F

pointer adjustment.

To adjust the left 45° bevel angle,

loosen the bevel lock handle (F) and

tilt the head to the left. Ifthe pointer R1(45°)

does not indicate exactly 45°, turn

the bevel stop screw (R1) until the

pointer reads 45°.

Toadjust the crown stop (33.85°) bevel angle, loosen the bevel

lock handle. When the saw is on the stop, if the pointer does not

indicate exactly 33.85 °, turn the bevel stop screw (R2) until the

pointer indicates 33.85 °.

FENCE ADJUSTMENT

WARNING: Disconnect the saw from the power supply,

turn off the machine and allow the blade to come to a com-

plete stop before raising the arm and prior to cleaning the

blade area, removing debris in the path of the blade,

before servicing or adjusting tool. A moving blade can

cause serious injury.

CAUTION: ALWAYS complete a dry K

run without power before making any \

cuts or damage to the fence may

OCCUi_

To Adjust the Sliding Fence

1. For normal use, loosen the knob

(K) one full turn to slide fence, then

tighten the knob securely. This will allow clearance

between the fence and the blade.

2. To provide maximum workpiece support when cutting

smaller pieces, loosen the knob (K) three full turns. The

fence will slide freely allowing the fence to move closer to

the blade. Tighten the knob securely.

NOTE: When beveling and mitering, it may, in rare circum-

stances, be necessary to remove the sliding fence. To remove

the fence, fully loosen the fence adjustment knob until the fence

is free to slide off. Reinstall the sliding fence and adjust properly

for workpiece support.

RAIL GUIDE ADJUSTMENT s H

Periodically check the rails for any \

play or clearance. The right rail

can be adjusted with the set

screw (S) shown on top of the

support housing. To reduce clear-

ance, rotate the set screw clock-

wise gradually while sliding the

saw head back and forth. Reduce

play while maintaining minimum

sliding force.

NOTE: The rail lock knob (H) must be loose to allow the saw

rails to slide.

KERF PLATE ADJUSTMENT

AWARNING: Disconnect the saw from

the power supply, turn off the machine

and allow the blade to come to a com-

plete stop before raising the arm and

prior to cleaning the blade area, remov-

ing debris in the path of the blade,

before servicing or adjusting tool A

moving blade can cause serious injury.

Do not use this saw without a kerf plate

installed. Replace a kerf plate when ff is worn or damaged.

To install anew kerr plate:

1. Remove the three screws holding each kerf plate in place.

2. Remove the ken<plates and clean the area beneath.

3. Install the new kerf plates.

4. Replace the screws.

To adjust the kerf plate for the desired blade:

1. Loosen but do not remove the three kerf plate screws.

2. Adjust the plates to fit closely to the teeth of the blade.

3. Tighten the 3 screws on each kerf plate.

Guard Actuation and Visibility

The blade guard on your saw

has been designed to automatically

raise when the arm is brought down

and to lower over the blade when the

arm is raised.

The guard can be raised by hand

when installing or removing saw

blades or for inspection of the saw.

NEVER RAISE THE BLADE GUARD

MANUALLY UNLESS THE SAW IS

TURNED OFR UNPLUG THE SAW BEFORE ANY CLEANING

OR ADJUSTMENTS. If the guard becomes dirty, clean with a

dry cloth or a water-dampened cloth.

ACAUTION: Do not use lubricants or cleaners, particularly

spray or aerosol cleaners, in the vicinity of the plastic guard. The

polycarbonate material used in the guard is subject to

deterioration by certain chemicals.

NOTE: Certain special cuts will require that you manually raise

the guard. See the section titled Cutting Large Material on

page 10.

The front section of the guard is Iouvered for visibility while

cutting. Although the louvers dramatically reduce flying

debris, they are openings in the guard and safety glasses

should be worn at all times when viewing through the louvers.

Automatic Electric Brake

Your saw is equipped with an automatic electric blade brake

which stops the saw blade within 5 seconds of trigger release.

This brake is not adjustable.

On occasion, there may be a delay between the trigger releas-

ing and brake engagement. On rare occasions, the brake may

not engage at all and the blade will coast to a stop.

If a delay or "skipping" occurs, turn the saw on and off 4 or 5

times. If the condition persists, have the tool serviced by an

authorized DEWALT service center or other qualified personnel.

Always be sure the blade has stopped before removing it from

the kerr. The brake is not a substitute for guards or for ensur-

ing your own safety by giving the saw your complete attention.

Brushes

WARNING: Disconnect the saw from the power supply,

turn off the machine and allow the blade to come to a com-

plete stop before raising the arm and prior to cleaning the

blade area, removing debris in the path of the blade,

before servicing or adjusting tool A moving blade can

cause serious injury,

Inspect carbon brushes regularly

by unplugging tool, removing the

motor end cap, lift the brush spring

and withdraw the brush assembly.

Keep brushes clean and sliding

freely in their guides. Always

replace a used brush in the same

orientation in the holder as it was

prior to its removal. Carbon brushes have varying symbols

stamped into their sides, and if the brush is worn down to

approximately 1/2 inch, the spring will no longer exert pres-

sure and brushes must be replaced. Use only identical

DEWALT brushes. Use of the correct grade of brush is essen-

tial for proper operation of electric brake. New brush assem-

blies are available at DEWALT service centers. The tool

should be allowed to "run in" (run at no load) for 10 minutes

before use to seat new brushes. The electric brake may be

erratic in operation until the brushes are properly seated

(worn in). Always replace the motor end cap after inspecting

or servicing the brushes.

While "running in" DO NOT TIE, TAPE, OR OTHERWISE

LOCK THE TRIGGER SWITCH ON. HOLD BY HAND ONLY.

OPERATION

Switch

To turn the saw on, depress the trig-

ger switch (D). To turn the tool off,

release the switch. There is no provi-

sion for locking the switch on. To lock

the saw off, place a padlock in the

hole provided in the trigger switch.

Cutting With Your Saw

NOTE: Although this saw will cut wood and many non-ferrous

materials, we limit our discussion to the cutting of wood. The

same guidelines apply to the other materials. DO NOT CUT

FERROUS (IRON AND STEEL) MATERIALS, MASONRY,

OR FIBER CEMENT PRODUCTS WITH THIS SAW. Do not

use any abrasive blades.

Crosscuts

A crosscut is one that cuts wood across the grain at any angle.

A straight crosscut is made with the miter arm at the 0° position.

To crosscut, set and lock the miter arm at zero and ensure that

the rail lock knob is securely tightened. Failure to tighten the rail

lock knob may cause the saw to turn toward you, causing per-

sonal injury or damage to the work piece. Hold the wood firmly

on the table and against the fence keeping your hand at least 6"

from the blade. Turn on the saw by squeezing the trigger switch.

When the saw comes up to speed (about 1 second) lower the

arm smoothly and slowly to cut through the wood. Let the blade

come to a full stop before raising the saw arm.

When cutting anything larger than a 2x3, use an out-down-

back motion. Pull the saw out, toward you, lower the saw head

down toward the workpiece, and push the saw back to com-

plete the cut. Do not allow the saw to contact the top of the

workpiece while pulling the blade out. This may cause the saw

to run toward you, causing personal injury or damage to the

workpiece.

MITER CROSSCUTS

Miter crosscuts are made with the miter arm at some angle

other than zero. This angle is often 45° for making corners, but

can be set anywhere from 50° left to 60° right. Lift the miter lock

lever and select the desired miter angle. Lower the miter lock

lever. Make the cut as described above.

NOTE: Cutting of multiple pieces is not recommended, but can

be done safely by ensuring that each piece is held firmly

against the table and fence.

BEVEL CROSSCUTS

A bevel cut is a crosscut made with the saw blade at a bevel to

the wood. To set the bevel, unlock the bevel adjustment/lock

handle and move the saw to the left as desired. Once the

desired bevel angle has been set, lock the bevel

adjustment/lock handle firmly. Ensure that the fence has been

adjusted properly. When cutting aggressively angled cuts, it

may be necessary to remove the adjustable fence. Complete

a dry run, without power to ensure that the fence does not inter-

fere with the blade. Make the cut as described above.

Bevel angles can be set from 48° left to -2° right and can be cut

with the miter arm set between 50° left and 60° right.

ACAUTION. When performing miter cuts or bevel cuts of

greater than 60 °, use extra care. The fence or workpiece may

interfere with the guard in these cuts.

Quality of Cut

The smoothness of any cut depends on a number of variables.

Factors like the material being cut, blade type, blade sharpness

and rate of cut all contribute to the quality of the cut.

When smoothest cuts are desired for molding and other preci-

sion work, a sharp, 40-60 tooth, carbide blade and a slower,

even cutting rate will produce the desired results.

To ensure that material does not creep while cutting, clamp it

securely in place. Always let the blade come to a full stop

before raising the arm.

If small fibers of wood split out at the rear of the workpiece,

apply a piece of masking tape on the wood where the cut will

be made. Saw through the tape and carefully remove the

tape when finished.

For varied cutting applications, refer to the list of recommend-

ed saw blades for your saw and select the one that best fits

your needs.

Body and Hand Position

Proper positioning of your body

and hands when operating the slid-

ing compound miter saw will make

cutting more accurate, easier, and

safer. Never place your hands near

the cutting area. Place hands no

closer than 6" (152 ram) from the

blade. Hold the workpiece tightly

against the table and the fence

when cutting. Keep your hands in (152 MM)

position until the trigger has been released and the blade has

completely stopped. ALWAYS MAKE DRY RUNS WITHOUT

POWER BEFORE MAKING ANY CUTS SO THAT YOU CAN

CHECK THE PATH OF THE BLADE. DO NOT CROSS YOUR

HANDS.

CORRECT INCORRECT

Keep both feet firmly on the floor to maintain proper balance.

Do not cross your hands. The illustrations above show correct

and incorrect hand position. As you move the miter arm left and

right, follow it and stand slightly to the side of the saw blade.

Sight through the guard louvers when following a pencil line.

Clamping the Workpiece

_k WARNING: Disconnect the saw from the power supply,

turn off the machine and allow the blade to come to a com-

plete stop before raising the arm and prior to cleaning the

blade area, removing debris in the path of the blade,

before servicing or adjusting tool A moving blade can

cause serious injury.

If you cannot secure the workpiece on the table and against the

fence by hand, e.g., when cutting an irregularly shaped work-

piece, or if your hand would be less than 6" from the blade, a

clamp or other fixture should be used.

For best results use the DW7082 clamp made for use with your

saw. It is available through your local retailer or DEWALT serv-

ice center at extra cost.

SUPPORT FOR LONG PIECES

AWARNING: Disconnect the saw from the power supply,

turn off the machine and allow the blade to come to a com-

plete stop before raising the arm and prior to cleaning the

blade area, removing debris in the path of the blade,

before servicing or adjusting tool A moving blade can

cause serious injury.

ALWAYS SUPPORT LONG PIECES.

For best results, use the DW7080

extension kit to extend the table width

of your saw. This attachment is avail-

able from your dealer at extra cost.

Support long workpieces to keep the

ends from dropping using any conven-

ient means such as sawhorses or sim-

ilar devices. The base top is 3.5" tall, allowing a 4x4 or 2-2x4s

to be used to support work when the saw is placed on a long

table or bench.

Precision Cutting

CUTTING BASE MOLDING

Always make a dry run without power before making any

cuts,

For straight 90° cuts, position the wood against the fence. Hold

it tightly against the fence and table as shown. Turn on the saw

and allow the blade to reach full speed. For molding wider than

3", use an out-down-back motion. Pull the saw out toward you,

lower the saw head down toward the workpiece, and push the

saw back to complete the cut.

CUTTING BASE MOLDING UP TO 3-1/4" (82 MM) HIGH

VERTICALLY AGAINST THE FENCE

Position molding vertically as shown.

Make all cuts with the back of the

molding against the fence and the bot-

tom of the molding against the base.

CUTTING MOLDING RETURNS ...........

A "return" is cut to finish the end of a

chair rail or base molding. This piece is

a form of outside miter cut in which one

piece is very short. To make this cut,

place a piece of molding with a square

cut end into the saw. Set the miter

angle to 45° left. Slowly pull the blade MOL

through the molding, stopping before

the piece is cut through. Before stop- RETURN

ping the motor, lift the sawhead up

slightly and then release the trigger. This will leave the "return"

still connected to the molding by a small piece of wood.

Remove the wood from the saw and break the return from the

molding. This procedure prevents chipping of the small piece

of molding.

CUTTING CROWN MOLDING

Crown molding must be cut

with extreme accuracy to fit proper-

ly. On crown molding, the two flat

surfaces designed to fit against the

ceiling and the wall are cut in com-

plementary angles to the front of the

molding. Complementary angles,

when added together, equal exactly

90°. In most crown molding the sur-

face that fits flat against the ceiling and the back of the molding

form an angle of 52°. The bottom surface that fits flat against

the wall and the back of the molding form an angle of 38°.

Your sliding compound miter saw has pre-set miter stops at

31.6 ° left and right for cutting crown molding flat at the proper

angle to fit 90° inside and outside corners. There is also a mark

on the bevel scale at 33.85 °.

The inset box on page 10 gives the proper settings for cutting

crown molding with the flat, broad surface placed on the saw

table as shown. The angles for the miter and bevel settings are

very precise and are easy to accurately set on your saw by

using the pre-set stop settings.

CUTTING CROWN MOLDING ANGLED BETWEEN THE

FENCE AND TABLE (NESTED)

Place the molding on the table at an

angle between the fence and the saw

table, as shown. We recommend using

the crown molding fence accessory

(DW7084) because it affords accuracy

and convenience. The crown molding

fence accessory is available at extra cost

from your local dealer.

The advantage to cutting crown molding using the nested

method is that no bevel is required. Minute changes in the miter

angle can be made without adjusting the bevel angle. This way,

when cutting molding for unsquare corners, the saw can be

quickly and easily adjusted.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CUTTING CROWN MOLDING

ANGLED BETWEEN THE FENCE AND SAW TABLE

1. Use the crown molding fence accessory to position the

molding at the angle at which it will be installed on the wall.

Position the molding so that the bottom (curved edge) of the

molding is against the fence and the top (pointed edge) of

the molding is resting on the base of the saw, as shown.

2. The angled "flats" on the back of the molding must rest

squarely on the fence and base of the saw.

TO MAKE AN INSIDE CORNER JOINT:

1. Cut the left side.

A. Set the miter at 45° right.

B. Save the right side of the cut.

2. Cut the right side.

A. Set the miter at 45° left

B. Save left side of the cut.

TO MAKE AN OUTSIDE CORNER JOINT:

1. Cut the left side.

A. Set the miter at 45° left.

B. Save the right side of the cut.

2. Cut the right side.

A. Set the miter at 45° right.

B. Save the left side of cut.

CUTTING PICTURE FRAMES, SHADOW BOXES AND

OTHER FOUR-SIDED PROJECTS

To best understand how to make the items listed here, we sug-

gest that you try a few simple projects using scrap wood until

you develop a feel for your saw.

Your saw is the perfect tool for mitering corners like the ones

shown below. Sketch A shows a joint made using the bevel

adjustment to bevel the edges of the two boards at 45° to pro-

duce a 90° corner. For this joint the miter arm is locked in the

zero position and the bevel adjustment is locked at 45°. The

wood is positioned with the broad flat side against the table and

the narrow edge against the fence. Alternatively, the cut could

be made by setting the bevel adjustment to the zero position

and setting the miter at 45°. In this case the wood is positioned

so that the broad, flat side is against the table and the narrow

side is against the fence.

When setting bevel and miter angles for all com-

pound miters, remember that:

The angles presented for crown moldings are very

precise. Since they can easily shift slightly and very

few rooms have exactly square corners, all settings

should be tested on scrap molding.

PRETESTING WITH SCRAP MATERIAL IS

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!

CUTTING TRIM MOLDING AND OTHER FRAMES

Sketch B shows a joint made by setting the miter adjustment at

45° and the bevel adjustment to the zero position. The wood is

positioned with the broad flat side on the table and the narrow

edge against the fence. Mitering the boards forms a 90 degree

corner.

The two sketches below are for four-sided objects only. As the

number of sides on a project changes, so do the miter and

bevel angles. The following chart gives the proper angles to

use when making frames in a variety of shapes.

SKETCH A SKETCH B

The chart assumes that all sides are of equal length. For a

shape that is not shown in the chart, use the following formula:

CUTTING COMPOUND MITERS

A compound miter is a

cut made using a miter angle

and a bevel angle at the

same time. This is the type of

cut used to make frames or

boxes with slanting sides like

the one shown here.

The graph shown on page 9 will assist you in selecting the prop-

er bevel and miter settings for common compound miter cuts.

To use the graph, select the desired angle "A" of your project

and locate that angle on the appropriate arc in the chart. From

that point follow the chart straight down to find the correct bevel

angle and straight across to find the correct miter angle.

NOTE: If the cutting angle varies from cut to cut, check that

the bevel adjustment/lock handles and the miter adjustment-

/lock lever are securely tightened. These levers must be tight-

ened and locked after making any changes in the bevel or

miter settings.

Bowed Material

When cutting bowed material always position it as shown on

the right above and never like that shown on the left.

Positioning the material incorrectly will cause it to pinch the

blade near the completion of the cut.

Cutting Plastic Pipe or Other Round

Cross-Sectional Material

Plastic pipe and similar material

can be easily cut with your saw. It

should be cut just like wood. CLAMP

THE MATERIAL OR HOLD FIRMLY

TO PREVENT ROLLING ESPE-

CIALLY WHEN USING BEVEL OR

MITER FEATURES.

Cutting Large

Material

Occasionally you will encounter a

piece of wood a little too large to fit I

beneath the blade guard. A little extra

clearance can be gained by rolling the

guard up out of the way with your thumb

as shown. Rolling the guard in this man-

ner may also be necessary when making

certain compound cuts. Avoid doing this

as much as possible. However, the saw

will operate properly and make the deeper cut with the guard

rolled up. NEVER TIE, TAPE, OR OTHERWISE HOLD THE

GUARD OPEN WHEN OPERATING THIS SAW.

ACAUTION. Never raise the guard by hand except as

described above.

Grooving

Your sliding compound miter saw is equipped with a grooving

lever and thumbscrew and nut to allow for groove cutting. To

use the grooving feature, flip the grooving lever (I) toward the

front of the saw, as shown.

Loosen the nut and adjust J

the thumbscrew (J) to change

the depth of the groove cut. To

lock the thumbscrew in posi-

tion, retighten the nut.

ALWAYS MAKE DRY RUNS

WITHOUT POWER BEFORE

MAKING FINISH CUTS TO CHECK THE DEPTH OF THE

BLADE.

NOTE: Your saw is not designed for use with dado blades.

Aluminum Cutting

Never make any cut without firmly clamping material.

Certain workpieces, due to their size, shape, or surface finish,

may require the use of a clamp or fixture to prevent movement

during the cut.

Maintenance

1. All bearings are sealed ball bearings. They are lubricated

for life and need no further maintenance. Do not use any

lubricant.

2. Periodically clean all dust and wood chips from around the

area of the saw blade inside the guard. Even though slots

are provided to allow debris to pass through, some dust will

accumulate.

CAUTION. Do not use lubricants or cleaners, particular

spray or aerosol cleaners, in the vicinity of the plastic guard.

The polycarbonate material used in the guard is subject to

deterioration by certain chemicals.

3. The brushes are designed to give you several years of use.

If they ever need replacement follow the instructions on

page 6 or return the tool to the nearest service center for

repair.

Importantes consignes de s_curit_ concernant tous les

outils

AAVERTISSEMENT: afin de travailler en toute securit6 et d'eviter les risques

de blessure ou d'endommager serieusement I'outil, lire attentivement le

guide d'utilisation avant d'utiliser la scie a onglets combinee a chariot. Lors

de I'entretien de I'outil, n'utiliser que des pieces de rechange identiques. On doit

faire remplacer les cordons endommages, y compris les rallonges, dans un centre

de service autorise.

DOUBLE ISOLATION

Afin de proteger I'utilisateur centre les chocs electriques, les outils _double isolation sent

completement recouverts de deux couches distinctes d'isolant electrique ou d'une double

epaisseur de matiere isolante. Les outils possedant ce type d'isolation ne sent pas destines

6tre mis _la terre et, par consequent, sent munis d'une fiche _deux broches permettant

d'utiliser une raflonge ne necessitant aucune prise de masse.

REMARQUE : le fait que cet outil soit muni d'une double isolation ne signifie pas que I'util-

isateur doit cesser de suivre les consignes de securit6 qui s'imposent, I'isolation offre une

protection supplementaire centre les blessures causees par un choc electrique Iorsque les

systemes d'isolation intemes font defaut.

FICHES POLARISEES

Afin de reduire les risques de choc electrique, cet outil est muni d'une fiche polarisee (c'est-

9-dire que I'une des lames est plus large que I'autre), et ne peut 6tre raccorde qu'9 une ral-

Ionge polarisee et ce, clans un seul sens. On doit I'inverser si on est incapable de I'enfoncer

completemenL Si la fiche ne s'adapte toujours pas, on doit demander _un electricien quali-

fie d'installer la prise appropriee. On ne doit jamais modifier la fiche.

_AVERTISSEMENT : Iorsqu'on utilise un outil electrique, on doit toujours suivre les con-

signes de securit6, y compris celles decrites ci-dessous, afin de r#duire les risques d'in-

cendie, de choc #lectrique et de blessure inclure le suivre :

•CARDER LES DISPOSITIFS DE PROTECTION EN PLACE et en ben #tat de fonction-

nement.

•RETIRER LES CLE-S DE RE-GLAGE, prendre I'habitude de s'assurer que les cl#s de

r#glage sent retir#es de I'outil avant de le d#marre_

• CARDER LA ZONE DE TRAVAIL PROPRE; les espaces de travail et les #tablis encom-

br#s sent propices aux accidents.

•UTILISERL'OUTILDANSDESENDROITSAPPROPRIE-S;nepasexposerI'outilglapluie

bien #clair#e. Toujours utiliser I'outil darts un endroit bien a#r#, et jamais _proximit# de

matieres combustibles, de gaz ou de solvants; le moteur peut preduire des #tincefles

et enflammer des matieres environnantes, ce qui risque de causer un incendie ou une

explosion.

•TENIR LES ENFANTS A L'E-CART; s'assurer que personne ne s'approche de la zone de

travail.

•S'ASSURER QUE L'ATELIER EST SUR POUR LES ENFANTS; utiliser des cadenas, des

interrupteurs centraux ou enlever les commandes de d#marrage.

• NE PAS FORCER L'OUTIL; pour obtenir de meilleurs r#sultats et pr#venir les risques de

blessure, laisser I'outil couper _la vitesse pour laquefle il a #t# congu.

•UTILISER L'OUTIL APPROPRIE-; ne pas forcer I'outil ou I'accessoire, ni I'utiliser pour des

travaux autres que ceux pour lesquels il a#t# congu.

• UTILISER LES RALLONGES APPROPRIE-ES; s'assurer que la rallonge #lectrique est en

ben #tat et qu'efle est en mesure de porter le courant n#cessaire _I'outil. Une rallonge de

calibre inf#rieur entrafnera une chute de tension se traduisant par une perte de puissance

et une surchauffe. Le tableau ci-dessous illustre les calibres que Ibn doit utiliser selon la

Iongueur de la rallonge et I'intensit# nominale indiqu#e sur la plaque signal#tique. En cas de

doute, utiliser le calibre suivanL Plus le calibre est petit, plus la rallonge peut porter de

Raccordement dlectrique et moteur

S'assurer que I'alimentation correspond aux valeurs nominales inscrites sur la plaque signale-

tique de la scie, car I'interrupteur fera defaut si on utilise la scie en courant continu, comme darts

le cas d'une source de courant pour machine &souder. Utiliser une prise a courant alternatif

seulement afin d'eviter les risques de choc electrique ou d'incendie ou le fonctionnement

imprevisible de la scie. Une diminution de tension de 10% ou plus entrafnera une chute de puis-

sance et une surchauffe. Tousles outils de DEWALT sent mis & I'essai en usine. Si cet outil ne

fonctionne pas, verifier I'alimentation electrique.

De_ballage de la scie

La scie &onglets DW712 est completement assemblee avant d'6tre emballee. La bofte devrait

contenir :
