General Safety Rules
_ARNING: Read all instructions before operating product. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
_WARNING: FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES and recommended electrical connections
to prevent shock or electrocution.
Grounding Instructions
If saw is of grounded construction, read the following instructions.
_DANGER: SHOCK HAZARD. THiS MACHINE MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE.
SERIOUS INJURY COULD RESULT.
ALL GROUNDED, CORD-CONNECTED MACHINES
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resis-
tance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped
with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do not modify the plug provided - if
it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper
connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock.
The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yel-
low stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live
terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instruc-
tions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the machine is properly
grounded. Use only three-wire extension cords that have three-prong grounding type
plugs and matching three-conductor receptacles that accept the machine's plug, as
shown in Fig. A. Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
GROUNDED, CORD-CONNECTED MACHINES iNTENDED FOR USE ON A SUPPLY
CIRCUIT HAVING A NOMINAL RATING LESS THAN 150 VOLTS
If the machine is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one
illustrated in Fig. A, the machine will have a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus-
trated in Fig. A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Fig. B,
may be used to connect this plug to a matching two-conductor receptacle as shown in
Fig. B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be
used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The
green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be connected
to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. Whenever the adapter
is used, it must be held in place with a metal screw.

NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian
Electric Code.
ADANGER: IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN THATTHE RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS
PROPERLY GROUNDED. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE, HAVE A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.
Double Insulation
If saw is of double-insulated construction, read the following instructions.
Double insulated tools are constructed throughout with two separate
layers of electrical insulation or one double thickness of insulation between
you and the tool's electrical system. Tools built 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 concern
for maintaining a ground connection. Repair or replace damaged or worn
cord immediately
NOTE: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when oper-
ating this tool. The insulation system is for added protection against injury resulting from a
possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.
POLARIZED PLUGS
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. 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 way.
Important Safety Instructions
,TO REDUCE THE RISK OF KICKBACK AND OTHER INJURIES, KEEP GUARDS IN
PLACE and in working order at all times.
,REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that
keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from spindle before turning tool on. Tools,
scrap pieces, and other debris can be thrown at high speed, causing injury.
,KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
,DO NOT USE THE MACHINE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. The use of power
tools in damp or wet locations or in rain can cause shock or electrocution. Keep your
work area well-lit to avoid tripping or placing arms, hands, and fingers in danger.
,KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept at a safe distance from work area.
Your shop is a potentially dangerous environment.

DO NOT FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and be safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't fome tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not
designed. Using the incorrect tool or attachment may result in personal injury.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condi-
tion. If your product is equipped with a cord set, use only three-wire extension cords
that have three-prong grounding-type plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the
tool's plug. 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 loss of power and overheating. 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 smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Also use face or dust mask ff cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS wear certified safety
equipment:
* ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3)
* ANSI S12.6 ($3.19) hearing protection
* NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
,DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at aft times. Loss of balance
may cause personal injury.
,MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep blades sharp and clean for best and safest
performance. Foflow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Poorly
maintained blades and machines can further damage the blade or machine and/or
cause injury.
,TURN THE MACHINE "OFF'; AND DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE
POWER SOURCE before installing or removing accessories, before adjusting or
changing set-ups, when making repairs or changing locations. Do not touch the plug's
metal prongs when unplugging or plugging in the cord. An accidental start-up can cause
injury.
REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure that the switch is
in the "OFF'position before plugging in the power cord. In the event of a power failure,
move the switch to the "OFF"position. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
,USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Use only accessories that are recommended
by the manufacturer for your model Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may
be hazardous when used on another tooL Consult the instruction manual for recom-
mended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to
persons.
,NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur ff the tool is tipped or ff the cut-
ting tool is unintentionally contacted.
,CHECK FOR 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. Do not use tool ff switch does not turn it on and off. Damaged parts can cause
further damage to the machine and/or personal injury.
,DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation
of the blade or cutter only.
,NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don't leave
tool until it comes to a complete stop. Serious injury can result.
,DO NOT OPERATE ELECTRIC TOOLS NEAR FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR IN
GASEOUS OR EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES. Motors and switches in these tools may
spark and ignite fumes.
,STAY ALERT, WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING, AND USE COMMON SENSE. DO
NOT USE THE MACHINE WHEN YOU ARE TIRED OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE
OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR MEDICATION. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious injury.
,DO NOT ALLOW FAMILIARITY (gained from frequent use of your saw) TO
REPLACE SAFETY RULES. Always remember that a careless fraction of a second is
sufficient to inflict severe injury.
.Additional Safety Ru#es for Tab#e Saws
_WARNING: ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety
glasses. Also use face or dust mask ff cutting operation is dusty. Aft users and bystanders
MUST ALWAYS wear certified safety equipment:
* ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
* ANSI S12.6 ($3.19) hearing protection,
* NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
* AVOID AWKWARD POSITIONS, where a sudden slip could cause a hand to move into
a saw blade.
* NEVER REACH IN BACK OF, OR AROUND, THE CUTTING TOOL with either hand
to hold down the work piece.
* KEEP ARMS, HANDS AND FINGERS AWAY from the blade to prevent serious injury.
* USE A PUSH STICK OR PUSH BLOCKTHAT IS APPROPRIATE TO THE APPLICA-
TION TO PUSH WORK PIECES THROUGH THE SAW. A push stick is a wooden or
non-metallic stick, usually homemade, that should be used whenever the size or shape
of the work piece would cause you to place your hands within six inches of the blade.
Use hold-downs, jigs, fixtures or feather boards to help guide and control the
work piece when the guard cannot be used. Use saw-blade guard and spfitter for
every operation for which it can be used, including all through sawing.
* DO NOT PERFORM RIPPING, CROSSCUTTING OR ANY OTHER OPERATION
FREEHAND.
* NEVER reach around or over saw blade.
* STABILITY. Make sure the table saw is firmly mounted to a secure surface before use

,NEVER run the work piece between the fence and a molding cutterhead to reduce the
risk of a thrown work piece and personal injury.
* NEVER have any part of your body in line with the path of the saw blade. Personal
injury will occur.
,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.
,CLEAN THE TABLE/WORK AREA BEFORE LEAVING THE MACHINE. Lock
the switch in the "OFF" position and disconnect from the power source to prevent
unauthorized use.
* DO NOT leave a long board (or other work piece) 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 work piece, 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.
,DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE until it is completely assembled and installed
according to the instructions. A machine incorrectly assembled can cause serious
injury.
* OBTAINADVICE from your supervisor, instructor, or another qualifiedperson if you are
not thoroughly familiar with the operation of this machine. Knowledge is safety.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION regarding the safe and proper operation of power
tools (i.e., a safety video) is available from the Power Tool Institute, 1300 Sumner
Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44115-2851 (www.powertoolinstitute.com). Information is also
available from the National Safety Council, 1121 Spring Lake Drive, Itasca, IL 60143-
3201. Please refer to the American National Standards Institute ANSI 01.1 Safety
Requirements for Woodworking Machines and the U.S. Department of Labor OSHA
1910.213 Regulations.
TERMS: THE FOLLOWING TERMS WILL BE USED THROUGHOUT THE MANUAL
ANDYOU SHOULD BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THEM.
Through-sawing refers to any cut that completely severs the work piece.
Push Stick refers to a wooden stick, usually homemade, that is used to push small
work piece through the saw and keeps the operator's hands clear of the blade.
Kickback occurs when the saw blade binds in the cut and violently thrusts the work
piece back toward the operator.
Freehand refers to cutting without the use of a miter gauge or rip fence or any other
means of guiding or holding the work piece other than the operator's hand.
SAW BLADE GUARD AND SPLITTER
Your table saw is equipped with a blade guard and spfitter assembly that covers the blade
and prevents accidental contact. The spfitter is a flat plate that fits into the cut made by the
saw blade and effectively fights kickback by lessening the tendency of the blade to bind
in the cut. The spfitter can only be used when making through cuts that sever the wood.
When making rabbets and other cuts that make less than through cuts, the blade guard
and spfitter assembly must be removed from the saw. Two anti-kickback pawls are located
on the sides of the spfitter that allow the wood to pass through the blade in the cutting
direction but lock it if it tries to move backwards toward the operator.
MAKING A PUSH STICK (Inside Back Cover)
*In order to operate your table saw safely you must use a push stick whenever the size
or shape of the work piece would cause your hands to be within 6" (152 mm) of the saw
blade or other cutter. A push stick is included with this saw.
* No special wood is needed to make additional push-sticks as long as it's sturdy and
long enough. A length of 12" (305 mm) is recommended with a notch that fits against
the edge of the work piece to prevent slipping. It's a good idea to have several push
sticks of the same length [12" (305 mm)] with different size notches for different work
piece thicknesses.
* See the inside back cover for a picture of a push stick. The shape can vary to suit your
own needs as long as it performs its intended function of keeping your hands away from
the blade.
KICKBACKS
How to Avoid Them and Protect Yourself from Possible Injury
a. Be certain that the rip fence is parallel to the saw blade.
b. Do not rip by applying the feed force to the section of the work piece that will become
the cut-off (free) piece. Feed force when ripping should always be applied between the
saw blade and the fence; use a push stick for short work, 6" (152 mm) wide or less. For
less than 2" (51 mm) wide, you must use a special fixture.
c. Keep saw blade guard, spfitter and anti-kickback teeth in place and operating properly.
Keep teeth sharp, ff teeth are not operational, return your unit to the nearest authorized
DEWALT service center for repair. The spfitter must be in alignment with the saw blade
and the teeth must stop a kickback once it has started. Check their action before ripping
by pushing the wood under the anti-kickback teeth. The teeth must prevent the wood
from being pulled toward the front of the saw.
d. Plastic and composition (like hardboard) materials may be cut on your saw. However,
since these are usually quite hard and slippery, the anti-kickback pawls may not stop
a kickback. Therefore, be especially attentive to following proper set up and cutting
procedures for ripping.
e. Use saw blade guard and spfitter for every operation for which it can be used, including
aft through-sawing.
f. Push the work piece past the saw blade prior to release.
g. NEVER rip a work piece that is twisted or warped, or does not have a straight edge to
guide along the fence.
h. Use featherboards when the anti-kickback device or the guard and spfitter cannot be
used.
L NEVER saw a large work piece that cannot be controlled.
j. NEVER use the fence as a guide or length stop when crosscutting.
k. NEVER saw a work piece with loose knots, flaws, nails or other foreign objects.
L NEVER rip a workpiece shorter than 10".

available at a local DEWALT dealer or
service center at extra cost.
TO BENCH MOUNT SAW
i_WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn unit off and discon-
nect machine from power source before attempting to move it, change accessories
or make any adjustments. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
,&CAUTION: Toreduce the risk of personal injury, make sure table saw is firmly mounteQ
before use.
The table saw must be mounted firmly. Four mounting holes (N) are provided in the metal
frame for mounting. We strongly recommend that these holes be used to anchor the table
saw to your workbench or other rigid, stationary work support.
,&CAUTION: Ensure that the surface is stable enough that large pieces of material will nol
cause it to tip over during use.
1. Center the saw on the desired, stable work surface.
2. Drive four 3-1/2" (88.9 mm) long screws through the holes in the metal frame. Make
sure the screws extend through the frame and securely attach to the supporting work
surface.
If marring the supporting work surface is a concern, the DW745 can be mounted to scrap
wood which can then be clamped onto the desired work surface.
1. Cut a piece of 3/4" (19 mm) plywood to fit beneath the footprint of the saw.
2. Screw the saw to the plywood and clamp the overhang of the plywood to the work
surface. If the screws protrude through the plywood base, set it on two scrap pieces of
material of equal thickness and attach them to the edges of the plywood to hold the saw
further off of the work surface and prevent the screws from marring the surface.
Connecting Saw to Power Source
_,WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, before connecting saw to power source, make
sure the switch is in the OFF position.
Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate marking. AC Only means that your
saw will operate on alternating current only. A voltage decrease of 10 percent or more will
cause a loss of power and overheating. All DEWALT tools are factory tested. If this tool does
not operate, check the power supply.
On-Off Switch
i_WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, be sure switch is in the OFF position before
plugging machine in.
Lift the ON/OFF switch (K) paddle up to turn your saw ON and push it down to turn your
saw OFF.
A hole (KK) is provided in the switch for insertion of a FIG. 14
padlock with a removable shank to lock the saw off
(Fig. 14).
NOTE: A conventional padlock will not fit.

FiNE ADJUSTMENT KNOB (FIG. 17)
The fine adjustment knob (H) 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. Refer to Rip Scale Adjustment under
Adjustments for alignment instructions.
Adjustments
,&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 acciden-
tal start-up can cause injury.
FIG. 17

NOTE: Your saw is fully and accurately adjusted at the factory at the time of manufacture. If
readjustment due to shipping and handling or any other reason is required, follow the steps
below to adjust your saw.
Once made, these adjustments should remain accurate. Take a little time now to follow
these directions carefully to maintain the accuracy of which your saw is capable.
RAiL LOCK ADJUSTMENT FIG. 18
(Tightening Fence Clamping System)
1. Lock the rail lock lever (W).
2. On the underside of the saw, loosen the nut (LL) (Fig. 18).
3. Tighten the hex rod (MM) until the spring on the locking system MM
is compressed creating the desired tension on the rail lock lever.
Retighten the jam nut against the hex rod. LL
4. Flip the saw over and check that the fence does not move when
the lock lever is engaged. If the fence is still loose, tighten the
spring further.
RIP SCALE ADJUSTMENT
(Calibrating Rip Scale)
1. Unlock the rail lock lever (W).
2. Set the blade at 0° bevel and move the
fence until it is flush with the blade.
3. Lock the rail lock lever.
4. Loosen the screws (NN) in the rip scale
pointer with a Phillips screwdriver and
reset the red line to 0° on the scale. See
Figure 17.
5. Tighten the screws back into the rail.
NOTE: The rip scale only reads correctly
when the fence is mounted on the right side
of the blade.
BLADE ALIGNMENT ADJUSTMENT
(Blade Parallel to Miter Slot)
_WAFtNING: Cut Hazard. Check the blade
at 0 ° and 45 ° to make sure blade does not
hit the throat plate, causing personal injury.
If the blade appears to be out of alignment
with the miter slot on the table top, it will
require calibration for alignment. To realign
the blade and miter slot, use the following
procedure:
1. Locate the black Allen Iocator screws
(OO) that hold up the trunnion to the
bottom of the table in the rear of the
saw.
2. Loosen both screws and align the blade
with the miter slot. Be sure to measure
between the miter slot and the back and
front of the blade to ensure parallelism.
3. Snugly tighten the screws to secure the
trunnion and blade assembly to the table
at the parallel position.

FENCE ALIGNMENT ADJUSTMENT (Blade Parallel to Fence)
If you experience fence alignment problems and want to correct an out of parallel between
the fence and the blade, be sure to check the alignment of the blade to the miter slot first.
After confirming that those elements are aligned, proceed with alignment of the blade to the
fence using the following procedure:
1. Unlock the rail lock lever (W) and locate the two fence Iocator screws (AA) that support
the fence on the front and rear rails.
2. Loosen the rear Iocator screw and adjust the position of the fence in the groove on the
fence until it sets the fence face parallel to the blade. Make sure you measure from the
fence face to the front and back of the blade to ensure alignment.
3. Tighten the Iocator screw and repeat on the left side of the blade.
4. Check rip scale adjustment.
BEVEL STOP AND POINTER ADJUSTMENT
(Calibrating Bevel Scale)
Calibrating the bevel system on the saw may require two separate steps, one for the bevel
scale and another for the bevel pointer. The scale should always be checked first followed
by adjustments to the red pointer.

NOTE: Complete this step only if Part A has been completed.
7. Check the bevel scale angle. If the pointer does not read 0°, loosen the pointer screw
(SS) and move it to the 0° mark on the bevel scale. Retighten the pointer screw.
MITER GAUGE ADJUSTMENT FIG.24
(Calibrating Miter Gauge Pointer)
Your miter gauge features adjustable stops at
90° and 45° left and right.
Toadjust the miter gauge, loosen the screw (TT)
and move to desired position. Tighten the screw
against the stop plate (Fig. 24).
Saw Blades
NOTE: This saw is intended for the use of saw
blades 10" in diameter or smaller.
NOTE: This saw is not intended for use with
dado blades and molding cutters. Personal TT
injury may occur.
1. 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 (.625"). This blade will produce
a good quality cut for most applications.
2. 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.
3. Use only saw blades designed for maximum safe operating speeds of 5,000 RPM or
greater.
4. Saw blades should always be kept sharp. It is recommended that you locate a reputable
sharpening service to sharpen your blades when needed.
Kickback
Kickback is a dangerous condition! It is caused by the work piece binding against the blade.
The result is that the work piece can move rapidly in a direction opposite to the feed direc-
tion. During kickback, the work piece 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 splitter, anti-kick-
back teeth and guards before resuming work.
_WARNING:
1.Always use the guard and make certain it is in good working order. The guard's spfitter
helps prevent binding and the anti-kickback teeth on each side of the splitter minimize
the possibility of kickback. Use extra caution until the work piece is through the spfitter
and has engaged anti-kickback teeth.
2. Do not saw warped, bowed or cupped wood. The work piece must have one straight,
smooth side to go against the rip fence or miter gauge. The work piece must sit flat on
the table without rocking.
3. Do not cut "freehand': Always use either the rip fence or the miter gauge. Never use
both.
4. Use extra care when the guard assembly cannot be used (during non-through cuts).
5. Support large work pieces carefully. Allowing them to sag or droop can cause kick-
back.
OPERATION
AWARNING: Before using the saw, verify the following each and every time:
1. ALWAYS wear proper eye, hearing and respiratory equipment.
2. Blade is tight.
3. Bevel angle and height lock knobs are tight.
4. If ripping, ensure fence lock lever is tight and fence is parallel to the blade.
5. If crosscutting, miter gauge knob is tight.
6. The blade guard is properly attached and the anti-kickback teeth are functioning.
7. ALWAYS inspect the guard and spfitter for proper alignment operation and clearance
with saw blade.
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.
AWARNING: Before connecting the table saw to the power source or operating the saw,
always inspect the guard and spfitter 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 your saw makes an unfamiliar noise or ff it vibrates excessively, cease
operating immediately until the source has been located and the problem corrected.
ACAUTION: The proper throat plate must be in place at aft times to reduce the risk of a
thrown work piece and possible injury,
There are two basic types of cutting with table saws: ripping and crosscutting. Cutting
with the grain is ripping and cutting against the grain is crosscutting. With manmade
materials, the distinction is made such that ripping is cutting to a different width and cross-
cutting describes cutting material across the shorter dimension.
AWARNING: When ripping, always use the fence to provide a guide for the material and
guard against a kickback situation.
ACAUTION: When crosscutting, always use the miter gauge.
Ripping
,&WARNING: Never touch the "free end" of the work piece 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 result-
ing in a thrown work piece of 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. Keep hands clear of

thebladeanduseapushsticktofeedtheworkpieceffthereis less than 6" (152 mm)
between the fence and the blade.
1. Lock the rip fence by pressing the FIG.25
rail lock lever down. Remove the
miter gauge.
2. Raise the blade so it is about 1/8"
(3.2 ram) higher than the top of the
work piece.
3. Hold the work piece flat on the
table and against the fence. Keep
the work piece about 1" (25.4 ram)
away from the blade.
_,CAUTION: The work piece 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 25.
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 hold-
ing 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 work piece against the table and fence, slowly feed the work piece rearward
all the way through the saw blade. Continue pushing the work piece until it is clear of the
guard and it falls off the rear of the table. Do not overload the motor.
6. Never try to pull the work piece back with the blade turning. Turn the switch off, allow the
blade to stop, raise the anti-kickback teeth on each side of the splitter if necessary and
slide the work piece out.
7. When sawing a long piece of material or a panel, always use a work support. A saw-
horse, rollers, or out feed assembly provides adequate support for this purpose. The
work support must be at the same height as the saw table.
ACAUTION: Never push or hold onto the "free" or "cut off" side of the work piece.
Bevel Ripping
This operation is the same as ripping except the bevel angle is set to an angle other than
zero degrees.
_&WARNING: Before connecting the table saw to the power source or operating the saw,
always inspect the guard and spfitter for proper alignment and clearance with saw blade.
Check alignment after each change of bevel angle.
RIPPING SMALL PIECES
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 (U) is included with this saw, located on
the right-side panel. Use the push stick(s) to
hold the work piece against the table and
fence, and push the work piece fully past
the blade. See Figure 26.
FIG. 26
Crosscutting
_WARNING: NEVER touch the "free end" of the work piece 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 work piece and possible injury.
,_,WARNING: Toreduce the risk of injury, NEVER use the fence as a guide or length stop
when crosscutting.
ZCWARN/NG: NEVER use a length stop on the free end of the work piece when crosscut-
ting. In short, the cut-off piece in any through-sawing (cutting completely through the work
piece) operation must never be confined -- it must be allowed to move away from saw blade
to prevent contact with blade resulting in a thrown work piece and possibly injury.
i_WARNING: Use caution when starting the cut to prevent binding of the guard against the
work piece resulting in damage to saw and possible injury,
_I,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 work
piece is clear of the block before it enters the blade to prevent contact with blade resulting
in a thrown work piece and possibly injury,
1. Remove the rip fence and place the FIG.27
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 work piece.
3. Hold the work piece firmly against
the miter gauge with the path of the
blade in line with the desired cut loca-
tion. Keep the work piece an inch or
so in front of the blade. KEEP BOTH
HANDS AWAY FROM THE BLADE
AND THE PATH OF THE BLADE
(Fig. 27).
4. Start the saw motor and allow the
blade to come up to speed.
5. While using both hands to keep the
work piece against the face of the miter gauge, and holding the work piece flat against
the table, slowly push the work piece through the blade. See Figure 27.
6. Never try to pull the work piece with the blade turning. Turn the switch off, allow the blade
to stop, and carefully slide the work piece out.
ACAUTION: Never touch or hold onto the "free" or "cut off" end of the work piece.
Bevel Crosscutting FIG.28
This operation is the same as crosscut-
ting except that the bevel angle is set to
an angle other than 0°. For proper hand
position, refer to Figure 28.
_iWARNING: Before connecting the
table saw to the power source or
operating the saw, always inspect the
guard and splitter for proper alignment
and clearance with saw blade. Check
alignment after each change of bevel
angle.
lO

Mitering
_WARN/NG: Miter angles greater
than 45 °may force the guard into
the saw blade causing damage to
the guard and personal injury. Before
starting the motor, test the operation
by feeding the work piece into the
guard, ff the guard contacts the blade,
place the work piece under the guard,
not touching the blade, before starting
the motor.
_CAUTION: Certain work piece
shapes, such as molding may not rift
FIG. 29
the guard properly. Feed the work piece slowly to start the cut. If the guard contacts the
blade, place the work piece under the guard, 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 work piece FIRMLY against the miter gauge and feed the work piece
slowly into the blade (to prevent the work piece from moving). See Figure 29.
Miter Gauge Operatien
To set your miter gauge, loosen the lock handle and move the miter gauge to the desired
angle.
Compound Mitering FIG.30
This is a combination of bevel crosscutting
and mitering. Follow the instructions for both
bevel crosscutting and mitering.
Dust Collection
Your table saw is equipped with a dust shroud
and dust collection port. For best results,
connect a vacuum to the port at the rear of
the saw.
After extended use, the saw's dust collection Ut VV
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 (UU) shown in Figure 30 by removing the wing screws (VV).
Clean out the excess dust, and re-secure the access door with the wing screws.

Cet appareil est muni d'un cordon d'alimentation dot6 d'un conducteur de mise & la terre
d'6quipement et d'une fiche de mise b,la terre. La fiche doit 6tre branch6e sur une prise
de courant correspondante qui est install6e et mise b,la terre conform6ment & tous les
codes et &toutes les ordonnances & 1'6chelle locale. Ne pas modifier la fiche fournie; si
elle ne s'ins_re pas dans la prise de courant, faire installer une prise appropri6e par un
61ectricien professionnel. Si le conducteur de mise a la terre d'6quipement n'est pas cor-
rectement connect6, ceci peut provoquer un choc 61ectrique. Le conducteur de mise
la terre d'6quipement est le conducteur avec isolation qui a une surface ext6rieure verte
avec ou sans rayures jaunes. S'il est n6cessaire de faire r6parer ou remplacer le cordon
61ectrique ou la fiche, ne pas connecter le conducteur de mise & la terre d'6quipement b,
une borne sous tension. V6rifier aupr_s d'un 61ectricien ou d'un personnel de r6paration
professionnel si les directives de mise a la terre ne sont pas parfaitement comprises ou
en cas de doute sur le fait que I'appareil soit correctement mis & la terre ou non. Utiliser
uniquement une rallonge & 3 ills pourvue d'une fiche de mise & la terre & 3 lames et une
prise & 3 conducteurs correspondant a la fiche de I'appareil comme le montre la fig. A.
R6parer ou remplacer imm6diatement le cordon s'il est endommag6 ou us6.
POUR LES APPARE_LS MIS ._,LATERRE ET BRANCHE_S ._ UN CORDON
D'AMMENTATION UTILISE SUR UN CIRCUIT D'ALIMENTATION DE R#GJME
NOMINAL INFERJEUR ._ 150V :
Si I'appareil est utilis6 sur un circuit dont la prise de courant ressemble & celle de la fig.
A, il aura alors une fiche de mise & la terre semblable &celle de la fig. A. Un adaptateur
temporaire, qui ressemble & celui de la fig. B, peut 6tre utilis6 pour connecter cette
fiche & une prise & 2 conducteurs, comme le montre la fig. B, s'il n'existe aucune prise
de courant correctement mise a la terre. L:adaptateur temporaire ne doit 6tre utilis6
que jusqu'b, ce qu'un 61ectricien qualifi6 puisse installer une prise 61ectrique correcte-
ment mise & la terre. La patte rigide verte, la cosse et tout 616ment semblable sortant
de I'adaptateur doivent 6tre correctement branch6s b,une masse permanente comme
une boite de sortie mise a la terre. Chaque fois que I'adaptateur est utilis6, il dolt 6tre

Double isolation
Si la scie est a double isolation, lire les directives suivantes.
Les outils & double isolation comportent partout deux couches d'isolant
61ectrique s6par6es ou une double 6paisseur de mat6riau isolant entre
rop6rateur et le syst_me 61ectrique de I'outil. Les outils comportant ce
syst_me d'isolation ne sont pas con£us pour 6tre mis & la terre. Votre outil
est donc dot6 d'une prise & deux broches qui vous permet d'utiliser des
cordons d'alimentation sans vous soucier de maintenir une connexion &
la terre. R6parer ou remplacer imm6diatement le cordon s'il est endommag6 ou us6.
REMARQUE :la double isolation ne remplace pas les pr6cautions normales de s6curit6
lots de I'utilisation de cet outil. Le syst_me d'isolation sert b,apporter une protection accrue
contre toute blessure r6sultant d'une d6faillance d'isolation 61ectrique au sein de I'outil.
FICHES POLARISE_ES
Pour r6duire le risque de chocs 61ectriques, le pr6sent appareil comporte une fiche polari-
s6e (une broche est plus large que I'autre). Cette fiche ne se branche que d'une seule fa(_on
dans une prise de courant polaris6e. Si la fiche ne s'ins_re pas totalement dans la prise de
courant, I'inverser. Si elle ne s'ins_re toujours pas dans la prise, demander & un 61ectricien
comp6tent d'installer une fiche polaris6e. Ne pas remplacer la fiche.

PROTEGE-LAME ET COUTEAU SEPARATEUR
La scie circulaire a table est dome d'un ensemble prot@ge-lame et couteau s@parateur qui
recouvre la lame et pr@vient tout contact accidenteL Le couteau s@parateur est une plaque
plane qui s'ins@re clans le trait de coupe form@par la lame de la scie et prot@ge effective-
ment contre les rebonds en diminuant la tendance de la lame a se coincer clans le trait de
scie. On utilise le couteau s@parateur uniquement lots de d@bitage complet qui s@parera
deux morceaux de bois. Lots de feuillures et autres coupes qui ne traversent pas la pi@ce,
on dolt retirer I'ensemble prot@ge-lame/couteau s@parateur de la scie. Deux cliquets anti-
effet de rebond sont Iog@ssur les c6t@s du couteau s@parateur. IIs permettent a la pi@ce
d'avancer sur la lame, mais qui la bloque si la pi@ce recule en direction de I'op@rateur.
FABRICATION D'UN POUSSOIR (VERSO)
* Pour utiliser la scie circulaire a table en toute s@curit@,utiliser un poussoir pour @viter
d'approcher les mains a moins de 15 cm (6 po) de la lame de la scie ou d'autre organe
15

de coupe, a chaque fois que la taille ou la forme de la piece I'exige. Un poussoir est
indus avec la pr@sente scie.
* fl n'est pas obligatoire d'utiliser un bois particulier pour fabriquer des poussoirs suppl@-
mentaires en autant qu'ils soient solides et suffisamment longs. On recommande une
Iongueur de 305 mm (12 po) avec une encoche qui s'adapte contre le bord de la piece
pour pr@venir tout glissement, fl est pratique d'avoir sous la main plusieurs poussoirs
de 305 mm (12 po) de long avec des encoches de diff@rentes tallies pour s'adapter
diff@rentes @paisseurs de piece.
* Un poussoir est illustr@ dans le couverde arribre int@rieur. La forme du poussoir pout
varier pour r@pondre a vos besoins en autant qu'il @loigne effectivement los mains de
la lame.
EFFETS DE REBOND
Comment les #viter et se prot#ger de blessures #ventuelles
a. S'assurer que le guide longitudinal soit parallble a la lame de la scie.
b. Ne pas ex6cuter un sciage en long en appliquant la force sur la portion fixe qui devien-
dra la piece coup@e. La force d'avancement devrait toujours s'appliquer sur la portion
qui repose entre la lame de la scie et le guide. Utiliser un poussoir pour les petites
pieces de 152 mm (6 po) de largeur ou moins. Pour los pieces de 51 mm (2 po) de
large ou moins, utiliser un dispositif de fixation sp@ciaL
c. Maintenir le protege-lame, le couteau s@parateur et los dents anti-effet de rebond en
position et en bon @tatde fonctionnement. Maintenir les dents [e-mail] les dents ne
fonctionnent pas, retourner I'appareil au centre de r@paration DEWALT autoris@ le plus
pros pour une r@paration. Le couteau s@parateur dolt @tre align@ avec la lame de la
scie et les dents doivent arr@ter un effet de rebond une fois I'appareil amorc6. V@rifier
le fonctionnement des ensembles avant le sciage en long en avan_ant une piece de
bois sous los dents anti-effet de rebond. Los dents doivent emp@cher la projection de
la pi@ce de bois vers I'avant de la scie.
d. II est possible de couper des matibres plastiques et du compos@ (comme des panneaux
presses) avec la scie. Toutefois, puisque ces matieres sont normalement trbs dures et
glissantes, il est possible que les diquets anti-effet de rebond ne puissent contenir un
effet de rebond. On dolt donc suivre attentivement los proc@dures de montage et de
coupe lots de sciages en long.
e. Utiliser un protbge-lame et un couteau s@parateur pour toutes los op@rations deman-
dant son utilisation, y compris tout d@bitage complet.
f. Pousser la piece au-dela de la lame de scie avant de la rel_cher.
g. NE JAMAIS scier en long une piece qui est tordue ou voil@e ou qui n'a pas de bord
droit pour glisser le long du guide.
h. Utiliser des planches en @ventailIorsque le dispositif anti-effet de rebond ou le protege-
lame et le couteau s@parateur ne peuvent @treutilises.
L NE JAMAIS scier une grande piece qui ne pout pas @trecontr61@e.
j. NE JAMAIS utiliser le guide comme guide ou butoir lots de tron_onnage.
k. NE JAMAIS scier une piece a noeuds instables avec d@fauts, dous ou tout autre corps
@tranger.
L NE JAMAIS d@biter une piece plus courte que 254 mm (10 po).
i_AVERTISSEMENT :certaines poussieres produites par les travaux de pongage, sciage,
meulage, portage et autres contiennent des produits chimiques reconnus par I'Etat de
la Californie comme pouvant causer le cancer, des anomalies cong@nitales ou d'autres
problbmes li@s aux fonctions reproductrices. Voici quelques exemples de cos produits
chimiques :
