Unpacking & Assembly - DeWalt DW1251 Adjustment And Operating Instructions

1. UNPACKING & ASSEMBLY (Numbers in brackets refer to Controls Illustrations on page 2).
1. Open the top of the carton.
2. Remove all the loosely-packed table parts and other
easily accessible components.
3. Tip the carton carefully until the column-end of the
carton is resting on the floor.
4. You will now be able to slide the machine out of the
carton single-handed and then tilt the machine
forward until it is resting with its base frame on the
floor.
5. If you are going to mount the Powershop on to an
existing bench, you will find it easier to do this now.
If you are going to mount the Powershop on to its
optional legstand, we suggst you set up the legstand
now and secure the machine to it before proceeding
(See para. 12.11).
6. Having identified the elevating handle (6), secure it to
the top of the column with the cross-head screw
supplied.
7. By turning the elevating handle, raise the arm of the
machine so that the carton containing the
motor/yoke assembly can be removed.
8. Remove the two alien screws from the arm end-cap
(2) and take the cap off.
9. Take the complete motor/yoke assembly out of its
carton and carefully insert the three bearings (2 on
the left, 1 on the right) of the roller head into the
tracks inside the arm. In doing so take care that the
rip lock (7) is released and lined up correctly with its
slide strip on the lower right-hand side of the arm.
10. Check that the movement of the rollerhead in the arm
tracks is smooth by pushing it backwards and
forwards along the arm. Check also that the rip lock
will release and lock the rollerhead in position as
required.
If either of these checks indicates incorrect mounting,
remove the rollerhead from the arm tracks and repeat
procedure 9 again.
11. Replace the arm end-cap (2) and secure it firmly with
the two alien screws.
12. Fix the cable support spring on the arm:
DW1251 Insert end of spring into small hole half way
along the top of the arm.
DW1 51 01 /3 Fix the end of the spring to the mounting
point on the right-hand side of the arm by
inserting the screw provided through the
end-loop of the spring.
The cable is then routed along the arm and
down the back of the column.
