Important Safety Instructions • READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS • Double Insulation Double insulated tools are constructed throughout with two separate layers of electrical insulation or one double thickness of insulation between you and the tool’s electrical system. Tools built with this insulation system are not intended to be grounded. As a result, your tool is equipped with a two prong plug which permits you to use extension cords without concern for maintaining a ground connection.
English • • • • • • • • • • NEVER REACH IN BACK OF SAW BLADE. TURN OFF TOOL, KEEP SAW HEAD DOWN AND WAIT FOR SAW BLADE TO STOP BEFORE MOVING HANDS, WORKPIECE OR CHANGING SETTINGS. UNPLUG TOOL BEFORE CHANGING BLADE, MOVING OR SERVICING UNIT. DO NOT - Use blades rated less than 5500 R.P.M. DO NOT - Cut small pieces without clamping. Keep hands 6” or more from blade. DO NOT - Operate saw without guards in place. DO NOT - Perform any operation freehand. DO NOT - Reach around or behind saw blade.
Extension, Work Support: DW7080 Used to support long overhanging workpieces, the work support is user assembled. Your saw table is designed to accept two work supports; one on each side. (Page 3) Adjustable Length Stop: DW7051 Requires the use of one work support. It is used to make repetitive cuts of the same length from 0 to 42". Clamp: DW7082 Used for firmly clamping workpiece to the saw fence for precision cutting. Crown Molding Fence: DW7084 Used for precision cutting of crown molding.
English Stabilizer FIG. 3 FIG. 1 Your saw includes a stabilizer (Fig.2). This must be in place and in contact with the work surface at all times while using your saw. This stabilizer is factory installed and needs no adjustment. SPINDLE LOCK BUTTON Accessories Holes are provided in all four feet to facilitate bench mounting, as shown in Figure 2. (Two different sized holes are provided to accommodate different sizes of screws. Use either hole, it is not necessary to use both.
GUARD BRACKET SCREW FIG. 6 OUTER CLAMP WASHER INNER CLAMP WASHER Transporting the Saw TURN OFF AND UNPLUG THE MITER SAW BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO MOVE IT OR MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS WHAT-SO-EVER! In order to conveniently carry the miter saw from place to place, a carrying handle has been included on the top of the saw arm, as shown in Figure 3. To transport the saw, lower the arm and depress the lock down pin shown in Figure 4.
English close to the blade as practical to provide maximum workpiece support, without interfering with arm up & down movement. Tighten knob securely. When the bevel operations are complete, don’t forget to relocate the fence to the right. GUARD ACTUATION AND VISIBILITY The blade guard on your saw has been designed to automatically raise when the arm is brought down and to lower over the blade when the arm is raised.
BEVEL HOUSING FIG. 11B FIG. 12 BEVEL STOP STOP SCREW BEVEL SCALE LOCK NUT BEVEL POINTER SCREW BODY AND HAND POSITION (FIG. 15) Proper positioning of your body and hands when operating the miter saw will make cutting easier, more accurate and safer. Never place hands near cutting area. Place hands no closer than 6" from the blade. Hold the workpiece tightly to the table and the fence when cutting. Keep hands in position until the trigger has been released and the blade has completely stopped.
English (Figure 18) of your project and locate that angle on the appropriate arc in the chart. From that point follow the chart straight down to find the correct bevel angle and straight across to find the correct miter angle. Set your saw to the prescribed angles and make a few trial cuts. Practice fitting the cut pieces together until you develop a feel for this procedure and feel comfortable with it. Example: To make a 4 sided box with 26° exterior angles (Angle A, Figure 18), use the upper right arc.
A third method of making the cut necessary is to make a zero degree miter, 45 degree bevel cut. Your saw can cut a bevel 6.1" wide. CUTTING BASE MOLDING LAYING FLAT AND USING THE BEVEL FEATURE • All cuts made with the saw set at 45° bevel and 0 miter • All cuts made with back of molding laying flat on the saw as shown in figures 22 and 23. • Move the left side fence out of the path of the blade before attempting any of the following cuts. INSIDE CORNER: Left side 1.
