Stabilizer; Accessories; Product View; Bench Mounting - DeWalt DW703 Instruction Manual

Stabilizer

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.

Accessories

Recommended accessories for use with your tool are
available at extra cost from your local retailer or
authorized service center.
CAUTION: The use of any non-recommended
accessory such as dado sets, molding cutters, or abrasive
wheels may be hazardous.
If you need assistance in locating any accessory, please
contact D WALT Industrial Tool Co., 701 East Joppa
E
Road, Baltimore, MD 21286 or call 1-800-4-D
800-433-9258).

Bench Mounting

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.) Always
mount your saw firmly to prevent movement. To enhance
the tool's portability, it can be mounted to a piece of 1/2"
or thicker plywood which can then be clamped to your
work support or moved to other job sites and reclamped.
NOTE: If you elect to mount your saw to a piece of
plywood, make sure that the mounting screws don't
protrude from the bottom of the wood. The plywood must
sit flush on the work support. When clamping the saw to
any work surface, clamp only on the clamping bosses
where the mounting screw holes are located. Clamping at
any other point will surely interfere with the proper
operation of the saw.
CAUTION: To prevent binding and inaccurate cuts, be
sure the mounting surface is not warped or otherwise
uneven. If the saw rocks on the surface place a thin piece
of material under one saw foot until the saw sits firmly on
the mounting surface.
