DeWalt DWS774 Original Instructions

27
• Check the technical data of the new blade: Use 216 mm saw blades with
30 mm arbor holes to obtain the desired cuttingcapacities.
• Replace the kerf plate when worn. If the kerf plate becomes worn or
damaged take saw to an authorised servicecentre.
Operating
General
• Use the optional roller tables for large and long pieces ofwood.
• Use the optional dustextraction.
• Never use your saw without the kerfplate.
Before use
• Check for damage to the tool and the power cable. Take care that
the power supply cord is not placed in the cutting area
• Check the upper blade guard, movable lower blade guard as well as
the dust extraction tube to determine that it will operateproperly.
• Check the lower blade guard , it is designed to close quickly when
the lever is released. If it does not close within 1 second, have the
saw serviced by an authorized
DeWALT
repairagent.
• Ensure that chips, dust or workpiece particle cannot lead to blockage
of one of thefunctions.
• In case of workpiece fragments jammed between saw blade and
guards disconnect the tool from the power supply. Remove the
jammed parts and reassembling the sawblade.
• Allow the blade to cut freely. Do notforce.
• Always make dry runs (without power) before finish cuts so that you
can check the path of theblade.
• Allow the motor to reach full speed beforecutting.
• Make sure all locking knobs and clamp handles aretight.
WARNING: Improper use can cause seriousharm.
• Be sure that the tool is in the “off” position before pluggingin.
• Do not let persons, especially children, not involved in the work,
touch the tool or the extension cord and keep them away from
the workarea.
Body and hand position
• Never place your hands closer than 100 mm from theblade.
• Never cross yourhands.
• As you move the saw arm left and right, follow it and stand
slightly to the side of the sawblade.
Cutting
• Always let the blade come to a full stop before raising the arm.
If small fibres of wood still split out at the rear of the workpiece,
stick a piece of masking tape on the wood where the cut will
be made. Saw through the tape and carefully remove tape
whenfinished.
• Hold the workpiece tightly to the table and the fence when
cutting. Keep your hands in position until the switch has been
released and the blade has completelystopped.
• 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, i.e:
- left mitre, off-cut to the right
- right mitre, off-cut to the left
After use
• Disconnect the power cable from the powersupply.
• Store the Mitre Saw in a dry place and locked up securely, out of
reach ofchildren.
Dust Extraction
WARNING: Risk of dust inhalation. To reduce the risk of personal
injury ALWAYS wear approved dustmask.
WARNING: ALWAYS use a vacuum extractor designed in
complaince with the applicable directives regarding dust emission
when sawingwood.
• Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are considered
ascarcinogenic.
• Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the materials to
beworked.
NOTICE:
• Connect the saw to a dust collection device when sawing wood. Always
consider factors which influence exposure of dust such as:
- good ventilation of the working place;
- sharpness of the saw blade;
- correct adjustment of the saw blade,
- Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not pull the saw through
theworkpiece.
Cleaning and Maintenance
The mitre saw has been designed to operate over a long period of time
with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation
depends upon proper tool care and regularcleaning.
WARNING: Electrical shock can cause serious injuries ordeath.
• Before cleaning: Disconnect the power cable from the powersupply.
NOTICE:
• Use a cloth dampened only with water and mildsoap.
• Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the
tool into aliquid.
• The guide grooves can become clogged with sawdust. Use suitable dust
extraction or some low pressure air to clear the guidegrooves.
• Disconnect the machine from the mains before carrying out any
maintenance work or when changing theblade.
• Never perform any cleaning or maintenance work when the machine is
still running and the head is not in the restposition.
