DeWalt DW711 Original Instructions Manual page 27


CAUTION: Always use a work clamp to maintain control and reduce the risk of workpiece
damage and personal injury.
Use the material clamp 23 provided with your saw. Other aids such as spring clamps, bar
clamps or C-clamps may be appropriate for certain sizes and shapes of material.
to Install clamp
1. Insert it into the hole behind the fence. The clamp should be facing toward the back of the
mitre saw. Ensure the groove on the clamp rod is fully inserted into the base of the mitre
saw. If the groove is visible, the clamp will not be secure.
2. Rotate the clamp 180º toward the front of the mitre saw.
3. Loosen the knob to adjust the clamp up or down, then use the fine adjust knob to firmly
clamp the workpiece.
nOtE: Place the clamp on the right side of the base when beveling. ALWAYS MAKE DRY RUNS
(UNPOWERED) BEFORE FINISH CUTS TO CHECK THE PATH OF THE BLADE. ENSURE THE CLAMP
DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH THE ACTION OF THE SAW OR GUARDS.
Sawing Short Workpieces (Fig. A3, A4)
It is advisable to use the length stop for short workpieces
for short individual workpieces of different lengths. The length stop can only be used in
conjunction with a pair of optional guide rails
Sawing Long Workpieces (Fig. A3)

WARNING: Always support long workpieces.
Figure A3 shows the ideal configuration for sawing long workpieces when the saw is used
free-standing (all items available as an option). These items (except the legstand and the
material clamp) are required both on the infeed and the outfeed side:
Material support plates.

26 Legstand (supplied with mounting instructions).
Table end plate for support the rails; also when working on an existing bench.)
27
28 Guide rails (500 or 1,000 mm).
Procedure

3. Install the table end plates 27 .
4. Install the swivelling stop 24 to the rear rail.
5. Use the swivelling stop 24 to adjust the length of medium and long workpieces. It can be
adjusted sideways or swung out of the way when not in use.
Using the roller table (Fig. A3, A5)
The roller table makes the handling of large and long pieces of wood very easy (Fig. A5). It
