DeWalt D27112 Anweisungen Seite 35

90 mm height. For the proper cutting capacities, refer to the technical
data. The length of the workpiece should never exceed the base
width without adequate support. The end of the workpiece should
never be less than 160 mm away from the blade without additional
clamping means.
- In operation, place your hands no closer than 160 mm from the
blade. When cutting short material (min. 160 mm to the left or the
right of the blade), the use of the optional material clamp is required.
- The minimum length of offcut material is 10 mm.
- When cutting workpieces longer than the table width, make sure that
the workpiece is stable over its full length. Support the protruding
parts of the workpiece as necessary, e.g. using the optional
workpiece extension.
- When cutting UPVC sections, a supporting piece made out of timber
with a complementary profi le should be placed beneath the material
being cut to provide the correct level of support.
Vertical straight cross cut (fi g. A1 & P)
• Release the mitre lever (10) and depress the mitre latch (9).
• Engage the mitre latch at the 0° position and tighten the mitre lever.
• Place the wood to be cut against the fence (6 & 13).
• Take hold of the operating handle (2) and depress the head lock up
release lever (3) to release the head.
• Switch the machine on and allow the saw blade to reach full speed.
• Depress the head to allow the blade to cut through the timber and
enter the plastic kerf plate (8).
• After completing the cut, switch the machine off and wait for the saw
blade to come to a complete standstill before returning the head to its
upper rest position.
Performing a sliding cut (fi g. Q)
The guide rail allows cutting larger workpieces using an out-down-back
sliding motion.
• Release the rail lock knob (17).
• Pull the saw head towards you and switch the tool on.
• Lower the saw blade into the workpiece and push the head back to
complete the cut.
• Proceed as described above.
• Do not perform sliding cuts on workpieces smaller than
50 x 100 mm.
• Remember to lock the saw head in the rear position when
the sliding cuts are fi nished.
Cutting small pieces (fi g. K1 & K2)
The upper part of the left side of the fence (13) and the moveable part of
the right side of the fence (6) can be adjusted to provide maximum
support when cutting small pieces.
• Put the saw blade into vertical position.
• Loosen the plastic knob (58) at least 3 full turns.
• Adjust the left fence as close to the blade as possible.
• Tighten the knob securely.
• Loosen the wingnut (60).
• Adjust the right fence as close to the blade as possible.
• Tighten the wingnut.
Vertical mitre cross-cut (fi g. A1 & R)
• Release the mitre lever (10) and depress the mitre latch (9).
Move the arm left or right to the required angle.
• The mitre latch will automatically locate at 10°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.62° and
45° both left and right, and at 50° left and 60° right. If any
intermediate angle is required hold the head fi rmly and lock by
tightening the mitre lever.
• Always ensure that the mitre lever is locked tightly before cutting.
• Proceed as for a vertical straight cross-cut.
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:
left mitre, off-cut to the right
right mitre, off-cut to the left.
Bevel cuts (fi g. A1, K1 & S)
Bevel angles can be set from 48° left to 2° right and can be cut with the
mitre arm set between zero and a maximum of 45° mitre position right or
left.
• Loosen the left side fence clamping knob (58) and slide the upper
part of the left side fence (13) to the left as far as it will go.
Loosen the bevel clamp handle (15) and set the bevel as desired.
• Tighten the bevel clamp handle (15) fi rmly.
• Proceed as for a vertical straight cross-cut.
Compound mitre
This cut is a combination of a mitre and a bevel cut.
• Set the bevel angle and subsequently set the mitre angle.
Sawing in the bench mode
• Always use the riving knife.
• Always ensure that the riving knife and blade guard are correctly
aligned.
• Always ensure that the mitre saw is set and locked in 0° mitre.
Do not cut metal in this mode.
Ripping (fi g. T)
• Set the bevel angle to 0°.
• Adjust the saw blade height. The correct blade position is to have the
tips of three teeth above the top surface of the wood. Ensure that the
saw bench table is securely fi xed at the chosen height.
• Set the parallel fence to the required distance.
• Hold the workpiece fl at on the table and against the fence. Keep the
workpiece approx. 25 mm away from the saw blade.
• Keep both hands away from the path of the saw blade.
• Switch the machine on and allow the saw blade to reach full speed.
• Slowly feed the workpiece underneath the upper blade guard,
keeping it fi rmly pressed against the fence. Allow the teeth to cut,
and do not force the workpiece through the saw blade. The saw
blade speed should be kept constant.
• Remember to use the push stick (73) when close to the blade.
• After completing the cut, switch the machine off, allow the saw blade
to stop and remove the workpiece.
• Never push or hold the free or cut-off side of the workpiece.
• Always use a push stick when ripping small workpieces.
Optional accessories (fi g. A3 - A6)
Clamping the workpiece (fi g. A3)
• The action of the blade is suffi cient to hold the material fi rmly against
the fence.
• If the material has a tendency to lift or come forward from the fence,
preferably use the optional material clamp (27).
Support for long pieces (fi g. A4)
• Always support long pieces.
• For best results, use the extension work support (28) to extend the
table width of your saw (available from your dealer as an option).
