Fixed & Rotary Tables - DeWalt DW708 Repair Manual

Take care not to lose or damage the two plastic shims (42) when removing the
bracket part of the casting (102) from the bar and bracket (121).
To re-assemble, make sure that the plastic shims (42) are fitted to the arm assembly
casting (102).
Position the bars and bracket (121) over the casting (102).
Use a spare pin (115) to assist in this next part of the assembly.
Knock the original and spare pin into both ends of the brackets to align them, with
the pins flush with the inner faces of the brackets. This will make it easier to knock
the original pin through the assembly once the spring and plastic bushes are fitted.
Put the two plastic bushes (116) inside the spring (60) and place the spring inside
the casting (102)..
When you put the spring in the casting you must ensure that the two ends of the
spring are located into the appropriate slots, one in the casting (102), and one in the
bars bracket (121).
Knock the pin carefully all the way through the brackets, spring, and plastic bushes.
(check that the pin does not foul on the plastic bushes as it is knocked through).
Refit the complete bar assembly to the support housing (130) and fit/tighten the
screws (17) to lock the pin in place.
FIXED & ROTARY TABLES.
Before taking the tables apart remove the base fences (157, 158).
Remove the back fence (156) - note that the fixing screws (28) are very tight and an
impact wrench may be required to remove them.
Undo the nut (33) and remove the bolt (32) and washer (34) together with the
washer (36) fitted between the fixed and rotary tables, enabling the two tables to be
separated.
Once separated make sure that the wear plates (154) are correctly located on the
fixed table, and not stuck onto the rotary table. This will make the re-assembly
easier (also note that the wear plates are fitted into the slots of the fixed table, and
can only be fitted the one way).
The adjustable scale (140) can be removed if required by taking out the screws (10).
If you only need to replace the mitre lock lever (143, 144) this can be done without
having to take the tables apart.
Knock out the pin (142) - note that one end of the pin is knurled, and therefore
should only be knocked out from the opposite end of the pin.
The lever (143) and spring (56) will come free with the pin (142) removed.
To take off the trigger (144) you need to grip the rod (145) witha pair of pliers, then
unscrew the trigger and pivot pin (146) by turning this assembly until it unscrews off
of the rod.
The rod and spring plates (148) can be removed by taking out the screws (7), the
complete assembly is available as a spare part item 173.
When re-assembling make sure that the pin (142) is knocked back in the correct
way, so that the knurled part of the pin is in the same position as it was taken out,
do not knock the knurled part through the non knurled part of the table bracket (137)
(drawing "D").
