Power Supply; Cutting Capacity - DeWalt D28730 Instructions Manual

POWER SUPPLY

Be sure your power supply agrees with the
nameplate marking. A voltage decrease of more than
10% willcause a loss of power and overheating.

CUTTING CAPACITY

The wide vise opening and high pivot point provide
cutting capacity for many large pieces. Use the
cutting capacity chart to determine total maximum
size of cuts that can be made with a new wheel.
CAUTION: CERTAIN LARGE,
CIRCULAR OR IRREGULARLY SHAPED
OBJECTS MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL
HOLDING MEANS IF THEY CANNOT
BE HELD SECURELY IN VISE.
CAUTION: DO NOT CUT MAGNESIUM
WITH THIS TOOL.
Maximum Cutting Capacity
NOTE: Capacity shown on chart assumes no wheel
wear and optimum fence position.
Use
To Carry (fig. 1)
Fold down unit to position where you can carry
the saw. Push in lock pin (A) to lock arm down.
Installing tool rest(fig.3)
UnLocking (fig. 1)
To unlock tool and raise head, depress motor arm
slightly and pull lock pin (A) out. Motor arm will
then pivot upward.
Spark Deflector Adjustment (fig. 1)
To best deflect sparks away from surrounding
persons and materials, loosen the screw (B), adjust
the spark deflector (C) and then retighten screw.
Do not allow cordset to come into contact with
deflector or sparks as damage to cordset may
occur.
Trigger Switch (fig. 1)
To start the tool, depress the trigger switch (M). To
turn the tool off, release the trigger switch. Keep
hands and material from wheel until it has coasted
to a stop.To prevent unauthorized use of tool,
install a standard padlock (not included) into the
padlock hole (N) located in the trigger.
Material Clamping and Supporting
• Angles are best clamped and cut with both
legs resting against base.
• A spacer block slightly narrower than the work
piece can be used to increase wheel utilization
(Fig. 2).
• Long work pieces must be supported by
a block so it will be level with top of base
(Fig. 3). The cut off end should be free to fall
downward to avoid wheel binding.
Vise Operation (fig. 4)
The vise (F) has a quick-travel feature. To release
the vise when it is clamped tightly, turn the crank
(H) counter-clockwise one or two times to remove
clamping pressure. Lift vise lever (I) up. Pull crank
assembly out as far asdesired. Vise may be
pushed forward into work without cranking. Lower
vise lever (I) then tighten vise (F) onwork by using
crank (H).
Fence Operation (fig. 5, 6)
CAUTION: Turn off and unplug the tool before
making any adjustments or removing or installing
attachments or accessories. Be sure the trigger
switch is in the OFF position.The fence (E) can
be adjusted two ways: to change desired cutting
angle and to change spacing between the fence
and vise.
To Change the Desired Cutting Angle
Use the wrench provided to loosen (do not
remove) the two fence bolts (P). Align the desired
angle indicator line with theslot line (Q) in the base
(D). Securely tighten both fence bolts before use.
