DeWalt DW743 Anweisungen Seite 37

Compound mitre
This cut is a combination of a mitre and a bevel cut.
The limitations are 35° mitre/30° bevel. Do not exceed these limits.
● 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. A2 & 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.
● 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 (17) 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.
Bevel cuts (fi g. U)
● Release the bevel clamp handle and set the blade to the required angle.
● In order to prevent material jamming between the blade and the
fence, position the fence to the left of the blade.
● Proceed as for vertical ripping.
Mitre cuts (fi g. X1 - X3)
● To adjust the mitre fence, loosen the stop screw locknut (81) and
screw the stop (82) in or out until the mitre pointer reads 0° (fi g. V1).
● Set the blade height and angle.
● Insert the slide bar (83) of the mitre fence into the groove (84)
provided in the left-hand side of the table (fi g. V2).
● Loosen the mitre locking knob (85) and rotate the fence to set the
scale to the required angle (fi g. V3).
● Tighten the mitre locking knob (85).
● Place the workpiece against the fl at surface of the mitre fence.
Switch on and, holding the workpiece fi rmly, slide the fence along
the groove to take the workpiece into the blade. When the cut is
completed, switch off immediately.
Fence positions, saw bench mode (fi g. W)
– For ripping thin materials, use the 11 mm profi le of the dual height
parallel fence and position the fence opposite the front edge of the
riving knife.
– For ripping thicker materials, use the 60 mm profi le of the dual height
parallel fence.
– For cross-cutting narrow and short workpieces (fi g. W):
● Adjust the parallel fence with the low profi le facing the blade and
install the rear of the fence in line with the leading edge of the blade.
● Set the workpiece against the mitre fence (at 0° or 90°) and push
the mitre fence to make the cut.
● To prevent small offcut pieces fouling against the blade, prepare
a tapered length of timber and clamp it on the rear edge of the
worktable close enough to the right-hand side of the blade so that
successive offcuts feed automatically to the right.
– For ripping narrow (< 120 mm) and long workpieces:
● Place the fence in rearmost position to maintain accuracy during
long cuts.
● Push the workpiece with both hands (one on each side of the blade).
● Use a push stick when close to the blade.
● Support long workpieces at the outfeed side.
– For ripping wider (> 120 mm) workpieces:
● Adjust the fence forward as in fi gure W if the material being cut
tends to jam between the blade or the riving knife and the fence.
Optional attachments
Prior to assembling any accessories always unplug the
machine.
Dust extraction kit (fi g. A1, A2 & A8)
This machine is provided with three dust extraction points for use in
each mode.
● When sawing wood, always connect a dust extraction device
designed in accordance with the relevant regulations regarding dust
emission.
Connecting - mitre saw position
● Connect one hose to the under-table guard.
● Connect one hose to the small diameter outlet and one to the large
diameter outlet using the corresponding spouts.
● Connect the hoses to the 3-way connector.
● Connect the single outlet of the 3-way connector to the hose from the
dust extractor.
Connecting - saw bench position
● Replace the saw blade guard by the guard supplied with the dust
extraction kit and connect the hose from the under-table guard to it.
● Proceed as for mitre saw position.
Mitre saw extra support/length stop (fi g. A4)
The extra support and length stop can be mounted on the left-hand side
or on the right-hand side, or with two sets on either side.
● Fit the items 28 - 35 onto the two guide rails (29).
● Use the inclinable support (30) for cross-cutting 210 mm wide boards
(15 mm thick).
Roller support table (fi g. A5)
In mitre saw mode, the roller support table can be mounted on the
left-hand side or on the right-hand side, or with two sets on either side.
In saw bench mode, it can also be mounted in front or at the rear of the
saw table.
Side extension table (fi g. A6)
The side extension table increases the distance from the rip fence to
the blade to 600 mm or more, depending on the rod length fi tted to the
machine and the clamped position of the table. The side extension table
must be used in conjunction with guide rails (29) (option).
The adjustable table is equipped with an engraved scale along its front
edge and mounted on a sturdy base which clamps to the guide rods.
● Fit the extension table to the right-hand side of the machine for
continuity of the distance scale on both tables.
