Connecting Saw to Power Source

IMPORTANT: Before connecting saw to power source,
make sure the switch is in the OFF position.
Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate mark-
ing. AC ONLY means that your saw will operate on alternat-
ing 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.
Rip Fence Operation
RAIL LOCK LEVER
The rail lock lever locks the rip fence rails in place, prevent-
ing their movement. To lock the rail lock lever, push it down.
To unlock the lever, pull it up (see Figure 9).
NOTE: When ripping, always lock the rail lock lever.

WORK SUPPORT EXTENSION
Your table saw is equipped with a work support extension to
support work that extends beyond the saw table. To use the
work support extension, rotate it as shown in Figure 13.
When not in use, the work support extension retracts, as
shown in Figure 14.
NOTE: Retract the work support extension whenever work-
ing over the table.
FINE ADJUST KNOB
The fine adjust knob (shown in Figure 15) 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
NOTE: The rip scale pointer will need to be readjusted
whenever a thicker or thinner blade is installed.
