Sharp edges.

Mounting and using a dado head

The dado head must always be used together with the special dado throat

plate (DE7466) which is available as an option. The dado head is used for

cuts which are wider than the saw kerf.

• Remove the blade guard assembly and the blade.

• Replace the inner clamp washer by the outer clamp washer.

• Mount the dado cutter blades.

• Secure the dado head using the standard arbor nut.

• Lower the dado head into position for the depth of cut required.

• After completing the dado cuts, remount the blade guard.

• Always check the clearance for the dado head before

operating the saw.

• The maximum dado width is 15.5 mm.

• Make shallow cuts only!

Consult your dealer for further information on the appropriate accessories.

Maintenance

Your DEWALT machine 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.

Cleaning

Keep the ventilation slots clear and regularly clean the housing with a soft cloth.

• Regularly clean the table top.

• Regularly clean the dust collection system.

Maintaining the table top

If you notice signs of rust on the table top:

• Carefully remove the rust using steel wool.

• Carefully clean the table top using a mild solvent cleaner.

• Apply paste wax to the table top and remove the wax soon afterward

to prevent a sticky build-up.

Maintaining the fence system

The rip fence should always slide freely. If excessive force is needed to

slide the rip fence:

• Wipe the rails and the gliding surface of the fence head using a cloth or

paper towel.

If the rip fence still does not slide freely:

• Clean the fence head and rails using a mild solvent cleaner.

• Coat the rails with paste wax or light oil.

• Slide the fence back and forth several times.

• Wipe off any excess wax or oil from the rails.

If the gliding surface of the fence head is damaged, consult

your dealer.

Cleaning and lubricating the height and bevel gear (fig. A1, A2 & T1 - T3)

• Regularly remove sawdust from the height and bevel gear system.

The height and bevel gear system should be periodically lubricated.

• Set the bevel angle to 0° using the adjuster (14) (fig. A2).

• Set the saw blade to its highest position using the adjuster (2) (fig. A1).

• Clean and lubricate the curved slots (103) (fig. T1 & T2).

• Lubricate the support (107).

• Clean and lubricate the worm (104) and the shiny washer just behind

(fig. T2).

• Set the bevel angle to 45° using the adjuster (14) (fig. A2).

• Set the saw blade to its lowest position using the adjuster (2) (fig. A1).

• Clean and lubricate the worm (105) and the shiny washer just to the left

(fig. T3).

• Clean and lubricate the gears (106).

Lubricating the fence head (fig. T4)

The moving parts of the fence head should be regularly lubricated.

• Apply a suitable grease to the area between the cams and locking

levers and between the cams and the fence head casting (fig. T4).

Lubricating the height pivot pin (fig. A1 & T5)

• Set the saw blade to its lowest position using the adjuster (2).

• Lubricate the front and rear end of the pin (108) using light oil.
