Connecting To Power Source; On/Off Switch; Rip Fence Operation - DeWalt DW745-XE Instruction Manual

2. Drive four 88.9 mm (3-1/2") 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 88.9 mm (3/4") 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. 230 V 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 D
factory tested. If this tool does not operate, check the power supply.

On/Off Switch

WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury, be sure switch is in the OFF
position before plugging machine

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 padlock with a removable shank to lock the saw off (Fig. 13).
NOTE: A conventional padlock will not fit.
