Dust Extraction; Basic Saw Cuts; Instructions For Use - DeWalt DW711 Manual

engl ish
If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the screws (49) and move the scale/mitre arm assembly left or
right until the blade is at 90° to the fence as measured with the square
(fig. F4).
2. Retighten the screws (49).
CheCKing and adJUsTing The BLade To The TaBLe (fig. g1–g4)
1. Loosen the bevel clamp handle (12) (fig. G1).
2. Press the saw head to the right to ensure it is fully vertical and tighten
the bevel clamp handle.
3. Place a set square (48) on the table and up against the blade
(43) (fig. G2).
WArNING: Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with the
square.
If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the bevel clamp handle (12) (fig. G1) and turn the vertical
position adjustment stop screw (50) in or out (fig. G3) until the blade is
at 90° to the table as measured with the square (fig. G2).
2. If the bevel pointer (51) does not indicate zero on the bevel scale (52),
loosen the screws (53) that secure the scale and move the scale as
necessary (fig. G4).
CheCKing and adJUsTing The BeveL angLe (fig. h1, h2)
The bevel override knob (54) allows the max. bevel angle to be set at 45°
or 48° as required (fig. H1).
– Left = 45°
– Right = 48°
1. Make sure the override knob (54) is located in the left position.
2. Loosen the bevel clamp handle (12) and move the saw head to the left.
This is the 45° bevel position.
3. If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
4. Turn the stopscrew (55) in or out as necessary until the pointer (51)
indicates 45° (fig. H2).
WArNING: While performing this adjustment, it is advisable to
take the weight of the saw head by holding it. This will make it
easier to turn the adjustment screw.
moUnTing and removing The gUard (fig. i1, i2)
When the unit is being used as a saw bench, the fixed lower guard (18)
should always be used (fig. I1).
1. Remove the M10 hex nut (56) and fit the guard as shown (fig. I2).
2. Replace the nut and tighten so that the guard is fixed in position.
3. To remove the guard, proceed in reverse order.
adJUsTing The riving Knife (fig. a1, J1, J2)
The correct position is for the top of the riving knife (31) to be no more than
2 mm below the highest tooth of the blade and the body of the radius knife
to be a maximum of 5 mm from the tips of the saw blade teeth (fig. J1)
1. Adjust the saw bench table to the lower position.
2. Loosen the hex screw (57) which allows both the bracket to rotate and
the riving knife to move up and down (fig. J2).
3. Rotate the bracket and slide the knife either up or down until the
correct position is attained.
4. Retighten the screw (57) firmly.
5. Replace the table.

instructions for Use

WArNING: Always observe the safety instructions and
applicable regulations.
The attention of UK users is drawn to the "woodworking machines
regulations 1974" and any subsequent amendments.
WArNING:
• E nsure the material to be sawn is firmly secured in place.
• A pply only a gentle pressure to the tool and do not exert side
pressure on the saw blade.
24
• A void overloading.
• A lways remove the dust from the machine after using to
ensure the lower guard operates properly.
Prior To oPeraTion
• Install the appropriate saw blade. Do not use excessively worn blades.
The maximum rotation speed of the tool must not exceed that of the
saw blade.
• Do not attempt to cut excessively small pieces.
• Allow the blade to cut freely. Do not force.
• Allow the motor to reach full speed before cutting.
• Make sure all locking knobs and clamp handles are tight.
sWiTChing on and off (fig. a1)
• To switch the machine on, press the on/off switch (1).
• To switch the machine off, press the on/off switch again.

dust extraction

When sawing wood, always connect a dust extraction device designed in
accordance with the relevant regulations regarding dust emission.
Refer to Optional Accessories for more information.
Transporting
To facilitate carrying, pull down the head and push in the head lock down
knob (13).
Transport the machine using the hand indentations.
WArNING: Always transport the machine in saw bench mode
with the upper blade guard fitted. Never carry the machine by
the guard.

Basic saw Cuts

saWing in miTre saW mode
It is dangerous to operate without guarding. Guards must be in position
when sawing.
Ensure that aluminum workpieces are clamped securely.
verTiCaL sTraighT Cross CUT (fig. a1, K)
1. Slacken the mitre latch (8) and subsequently squeeze it.
2. Engage the mitre latch (8) at the 0° position and fasten the mitre latch.
3. Place the wood to be cut against the fence (11).
4. Take hold of machine handle and press the head lock-up release lever
(2) to release the head.
5. Pull down the head approximately 10 mm and release the lock-up lever.
6. Switch on the machine and depress the head to allow the blade to cut
through the workpiece and enter the table slot.
7. After completing the cut, switch off the machine and return the head to
its upper rest position.
verTiCaL miTre Cross-CUT (fig. a1, L)
1. Squeeze the mitre latch (8). Move the arm left or right to the required
angle.
2. The mitre latch will automatically locate at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 45° and 50°
both left and right. If any intermediate angle is required hold the head
firmly and lock by fastening the mitre latch.
3. Always ensure that the mitre latch is locked tightly before cutting.
4. Proceed as for a vertical straight cross-cut.
WArNING: When mitring the end of a piece of wood with a
small off-cut, position the wood to ensure that the off-cut is to
the side of the blade with the greater angle to the fence:
– left mitre, off-cut to the right
– right mitre, off-cut to the left
BeveL Cross-CUT (fig. h1, m)
Bevel angles can be set from 0° to 48° to the left. Bevels up to 45° can
be cut with the mitre arm set between zero and a maximum of 45° mitre
position right or left.
