• Place the fence in front position.
• Place a board of 24 mm against the fence.
• Position the motor in out-rip position (fig. J2).
• Move the yoke assembly along the radial arm until the blade just
touches the edge of the material.
• Loosen the screw (75) and move the pointer (74) until the edge of the
pointer lines up with the known width of the board on the lower scale (76)
(fig. J3).
• Tighten the screw (75).
• Place the motor in in-rip position.
• Raise the guard to allow the blade to rest against the face of the fence.
• The in-rip pointer should now line up with the zero position in the upper
scale (77). Adjust if necessary.
Bevel scale (fig. G2)
• Check that the bevel scale (21) reads 0° when positioned for a vertical cut.
• If required, loosen the screws (47) and adjust the pointer (78) to 0°.
Mitre scale (fig. C2)
• Check that the mitre scale (26) reads 0° when positioned for a vertical cut.
• Adjust the pointer (27) to register 0° using the screw (79).
The mitre scale has preset positions at 45° left and right and at 0°.
Adjusting the yoke clamp lever (fig. A1, A2 & K)
If the motor shows a certain play, the yoke clamp lever (23) needs to be
tightened. The yoke clamp lever should be at approx. 90° or less to the
main handle (fig. A2).
• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
• Remove the end-cap (13) and remove the complete roller head
assembly (16) (fig. A1).
• Place a screwdriver (80) in the slotted head bolt (81) in the centre of the
roller head assembly (fig. K).
• Lever the flange (82) down using a small screwdriver (83) so that it will
pass over the lug (84), and turn the screwdriver in the slotted head bolt
clockwise tot tighten.
• Check again.
Move the flange one step at a time.
Yoke travel stop (fig. A2, L1 & L2)
The yoke travel stop (14) must be adjusted to avoid that the bearings on
the yoke assembly hit the rear limit of the bearing tracks (fig. A2).
• Push the yoke assembly as far as it will go, pull it forwards approx.
5 mm and lock it using the riplock (15) (fig. A2).
• Adjust the yoke travel stop (14) by slackening the nuts (85) in the front
slot (86) until the rubber stop (87) butts against the back of the riplock
housing.
• Tighten the nuts (85) (fig. L1).
When cross-cutting, tighten one nut in the front slotted hole (86)
and one in the rear slotted hole (88) (fig. L2).
Mounting the return spring (fig. M)
• Mount the return spring (89) behind the yoke travel stop (14) using the
corresponding bolts (90) and attach the end of the cable (91) to the
riplock (15) using the plastic clamp (92).
• To increase the spring tension, turn the knob (93) counterclockwise.
• To decrease the spring tension, turn the knob (93) clockwise.
Consult your dealer for further information on the appropriate accessories.

Instructions for use
• Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations.
• Ensure the material to be sawn is firmly secured in place.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool and do not exert side
pressure on the saw blade.
• Avoid overloading.
• Install the appropriate saw blade. Do not use excessively worn
blades. The maximum rotation speed of the tool must not
exceed that of the saw blade.
• Do not attempt to cut excessively small pieces.
• Allow the blade to cut freely. Do not force.
• Allow the motor to reach full speed before cutting.
• Make sure all locking knobs and clamp handles are tight.
• Never run the machine without the guards in place.
• Never lift the machine by the table top.
The attention of UK users is drawn to the "woodworking machines
regulations 1974" and any subsequent amendments.
Switching ON and OFF (fig. A1)
The ON/OFF-switch (1) of your radial arm saw offers multiple advantages:
- no-volt release function: should the power be shut OFF for some
reason, the switch has to be deliberately reactivated.
- motor overload protection device: in case of motor overload, the power
supply to the motor will be cut OFF (In the DW728, the motor overload
protection device is situated on top of the motor).
• Green button = ON The tool now works in continuous operation.
• Red button = OFF
• Isolating switch (2) (DW729) = manual rotary switch to cut OFF all
power to the unit.
• Emergency stop (17) = cut OFF all power to the unit (fig. A2).
To release the emergency stop, rotate it clockwise.
Making a trial cut (fig. A1, N1 & N2)
Figure N1 shows the standard position of the fence for cross-cutting and
in-rip. Figure N2 shows the standard position of the fence for ripping wide
panels. To release the fence, loosen the table clamps (7) (fig. N1).
• With the mitre latch lever (9) engaged, lock the mitre clamp lever (10)
so that the blade is positioned for a straight 0° cross-cut.
• Release the riplock (15) and push the yoke assembly back until the
blade is behind the fence (fig. A1).
• Lower the arm until the blade almost touches the table top.
• Place the workpiece against the front of the fence.
• Switch ON and lower the arm to allow the blade to cut a shallow
groove in the table surface.
• Pull the blade towards you so that it cuts a vertical slot in the wooden
fence and through the workpiece.
• Return the blade back to rest position and switch OFF.
• Check that the cut is a true 90° in all planes and adjust if required.
Basic Saw Cuts (fig. O1 - O2)
The teeth of a new blade are very sharp and can be dangerous.
Cross-cutting (fig. A1)
• Set the radial arm at right angles to the fence.
• Engage the mitre latch lever (9) in 0° position and tighten the mitre
clamp lever (10) (fig. A1).
• Lower the blade.
• Adjust the finger guard so that it just clears the workpiece.
• If there is no slot in the table top, cut one as described above.
• Hold the workpiece against the fence, keeping your fingers well away
from the path of the blade.
