Optional Attachments; Maintenance - DeWalt DW743N Original Instructions Manual

• Set the blade height and angle.
• Insert the slide bar (83) of the mitre fence into the groove (84)
provided in the left-hand side of the table (fig. V2).
• Loosen the mitre locking knob (85) and rotate the fence to set the
scale to the required angle (fig. V3).
• Tighten the mitre locking knob (85).
• Place the workpiece against the flat surface of the mitre fence.
Switch on and, holding the workpiece firmly, slide the fence along
the groove to take the workpiece into the blade. When the cut is
completed, switch off immediately.
Fence Positions, Bench Saw Mode (fi g. W)
– For ripping thin materials, use the 11 mm profile of the dual height
parallel fence and position the fence opposite the front edge of the
riving knife.
– For ripping thicker materials, use the 60 mm profile of the dual
height parallel fence.
– For cross-cutting narrow and short workpieces (fig. W):
• Adjust the parallel fence with the low profile facing the blade
and install the rear of the fence in line with the leading edge
of the blade.
• Set the workpiece against the mitre fence (at 0° or 90°) and
push the mitre fence to make the cut.
• To prevent small offcut pieces fouling against the blade,
prepare a tapered length of timber and clamp it on the rear
edge of the worktable close enough to the right-hand side of
the blade so that successive offcuts feed automatically to the
right.
– For ripping narrow (< 120 mm) and long workpieces:
• Place the fence in rearmost position to maintain accuracy
during long cuts.
• Push the workpiece with both hands (one on each side of
the blade).
• Use a push stick when close to the blade.
• Support long workpieces at the outfeed side.
– For ripping wider (> 120 mm) workpieces:
• Adjust the fence forward as in figure W if the material being
cut tends to jam between the blade or the riving knife and
the fence.

• Connect one hose to the small diameter outlet and one to the
large diameter outlet using the corresponding spouts.
• Connect the hoses to the 3-way connector.
• Connect the single outlet of the 3-way connector to the hose from
the dust extractor.
Connecting - bench saw position
• Replace the saw blade guard by the guard supplied with the dust
extraction kit and connect the hose from the under-table guard
to it.
• Proceed as for mitre saw position.
MITRE SAW EXTRA SUPPORT/LENGTH STOP (FIG. A4)
The extra support and length stop can be mounted on the left-hand
side or on the right-hand side, or with two sets on either side.
• Fit the items 28–34 onto the two guide rails (29).
• Use the swivelling stop (30) for cross-cutting 210 mm wide boards
(15 mm thick).
ROLLER SUPPORT TABLE (FIG. A5)
In mitre saw mode, the roller support table can be mounted on the left-
hand side or on the right-hand side, or with two sets on either side.
In bench saw mode, it can also be mounted in front or at the rear of the
saw table.
SIDE EXTENSION TABLE (FIG. A6)
The side extension table increases the distance from the rip fence to
the blade to 600 mm or more, depending on the rod length fitted to the
machine and the clamped position of the table. The side extension table
must be used in conjunction with guide rails (29) (option).
The adjustable table is equipped with an engraved scale along its front
edge and mounted on a sturdy base which clamps to the guide rods.
• Fit the extension table to the right-hand side of the machine for
continuity of the distance scale on both tables.
SINGLE SLIDING TABLE (FIG. A7)
This sliding table (37) allows for board sizes to the left of the blade up to
1200 x 900 mm.
The guide rods are mounted on a sturdy alloy extrusion which is quickly
detachable from the machine and yet fully adjustable is all planes.
The fence incorporates a full length measuring tape for quick positioning
of an adjustable stop and an adjustable support for narrow workpieces.
