The declared vibration and/or noise emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration and/or noise emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and/or noise should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration and/or noise such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm (relevant for vibration), organisation of work patterns.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings
![]()
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mainsoperated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
- Work area safety
- Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
- DO NOT operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
- Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
- Electrical safety
- Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. DO NOT use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
- Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
- DO NOT expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
- DO NOT abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
- When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
- If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
- Personal safety
- Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. DO NOT use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
- Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
- Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
- Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
- )Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
- Dress properly. DO NOT wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
- If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
- DO NOT let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
- Power tool use and care
- DO NOT force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
- DO NOT use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
- Disconnect the plug from the power source and/ or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
- Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and DO NOT allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
- Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
- Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
- Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
- Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces DO NOT allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
- Service
- Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety Instructions for Table Saws
- Guarding Related Warnings
- Keep guards in place. Guards must be in working order and be properly mounted. A guard that is loose, damaged, or is not functioning correctly must be repaired or replaced.
- Always use saw blade guard and riving knife for every through-cutting operation. For through-cutting operations where the saw blade cuts completely through the thickness of the workpiece, the guard and other safety devices help reduce the risk of injury.
- After completing a non-through cut such as rabbeting, resawing, or dadoing, restore the riving knife to the extended-up position. With the riving knife in the extendedup position, reattach the blade guard. The guard and riving knife help to reduce the risk of injury.
- Make sure the saw blade is not contacting the guard, riving knife or the workpiece before the switch is turned on. Inadvertent contact of these items with the saw blade could cause a hazardous condition.
- Adjust the riving knife as described in this instruction manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning and alignment can make the riving knife ineffective in reducing the likelihood of kickback.
- For the riving knife to work, they must be engaged in the workpiece. The riving knife is ineffective when cutting workpieces that are too short to be engaged with the riving knife. Under these conditions a kickback cannot be prevented by the riving knife.
- Use the appropriate saw blade for the riving knife. For the riving knife to function properly, the saw blade diameter must match the appropriate riving knife and the body of the saw blade must be thinner than the thickness of the riving knife and the cutting width of the saw blade must be wider than the thickness of the riving knife.
- Never reach around or over a rotating saw blade. Reaching for a workpiece may lead to accidental contact with the moving saw blade.
- Cutting Procedures Warnings
![]()
Never place your fingers or hands in the vicinity or in line with the saw blade. A moment of inattention or a slip could direct your hand towards the saw blade and result in serious personal injury. - Feed the workpiece into the saw blade only against the direction of rotation. Feeding the workpiece in the same direction that the saw blade is rotating above the table may result in the workpiece, and your hand, being pulled into the saw blade.
- Never use the mitre gauge to feed the workpiece when ripping and DO NOT use the rip fence as a length stop when cross cutting with the mitre gauge. Guiding the workpiece with the rip fence and the mitre gauge at the same time increases the likelihood of saw blade binding and kickback.
- When ripping, always keep the workpiece in full contact with the fence and always apply the workpiece feeding force between the fence and the saw blade. Use a push stick when the distance between the fence and the saw blade is less than 150 mm, and use a push block when this distance is less than 50 mm. "Work helping" devices will keep your hand at a safe distance from the saw blade.
- Use only the push stick provided by the manufacturer or constructed in accordance with the instructions. This push stick provides sufficient distance of the hand from the saw blade.
- Never use a damaged or cut push stick. A damaged or cut push stick may break causing your hand to slip into the saw blade.
- DO NOT perform any operation "freehand". Always use either the rip fence or the mitre gauge to position and guide the workpiece. "Freehand" means using your hands to support or guide the workpiece, in lieu of a rip fence or mitre gauge. Freehand sawing leads to misalignment, binding and kickback.
- Never reach around or over a rotating saw blade. Reaching for a workpiece may lead to accidental contact with the moving saw blade.
- Provide auxiliary workpiece support to the rear and/or sides of the saw table for long and/or wide workpieces to keep them level. A long and/or wide workpiece has a tendency to pivot on the table's edge, causing loss of control, saw blade binding and kickback.
- Feed workpiece at an even pace. DO NOT bend, twist or shift the workpiece from side to side. If jamming occurs, turn the tool off immediately, unplug the tool then clear the jam. Jamming the saw blade by the workpiece can cause kickback or stall the motor.
- DO NOT remove pieces of cut-off material while the saw is running. The material may become trapped between the fence or inside the saw blade guard and the saw blade pulling your fingers into the saw blade. Turn the saw off and wait until the saw blade stops before removing material.
- Use an auxiliary fence in contact with the table top when ripping workpieces less than 2 mm thick. A thin workpiece may wedge under the rip fence and create a kickback.
- Kickback Causes and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction of the workpiece due to a pinched, jammed saw blade or misaligned line of cut in the workpiece with respect to the saw blade or when a part of the workpiece binds between the saw blade and the rip fence or other fixed object.
Most frequently during kickback, the workpiece is lifted from the table by the rear portion of the saw blade and is propelled towards the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below. - Never stand directly in line with the saw blade. Always position your body on the same side of the saw blade as the fence. Kickback may propel the workpiece at high velocity towards anyone standing in front and in line with the saw blade.
- Never reach over or in back of the saw blade to pull or to support the workpiece. Accidental contact with the saw blade may occur or kickback may drag your fingers into the saw blade.
- Never hold and press the workpiece that is being cut off against the rotating saw blade. Pressing the workpiece being cut off against the saw blade will create a binding condition and kickback.
- Align the fence to be parallel with the saw blade. A misaligned fence will pinch the workpiece against the saw blade and create kickback.
- Use a featherboard to guide the workpiece against the table and fence when making non-through cuts such as rabbeting cuts. A featherboard helps to control the workpiece in the event of a kickback.
- Support large panels to minimise the risk of saw blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Support(s) must be placed under all portions of the panel overhanging the table top.
- Use extra caution when cutting a workpiece that is twisted, knotted, warped or does not have a straight edge to guide it with a mitre gauge or along the fence. A warped, knotted, or twisted workpiece is unstable and causes misalignment of the kerf with the saw blade, binding and kickback.
- Never cut more than one workpiece, stacked vertically or horizontally. The saw blade could pick up one or more pieces and cause kickback.
- When restarting the saw with the saw blade in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf so that the saw teeth are not engaged in the material. If the saw blade binds, it may lift up the workpiece and cause kickback when the saw is restarted.
- Keep saw blades clean, sharp, and with sufficient set. Never use warped saw blades or saw blades with cracked or broken teeth. Sharp and properly set saw blades minimise binding, stalling and kickback.
- Table Saw Operating Procedure Warnings
- Turn off the table saw and disconnect the power cord when removing the table insert, changing the saw blade or making adjustments to the riving knife or saw blade guard, and when the machine is left unattended. Precautionary measures will avoid accidents.
- Never leave the table saw running unattended. Turn it off and don't leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop. An unattended running saw is an uncontrolled hazard.
- Locate the table saw in a well-lit and level area where you can maintain good footing and balance. It should be installed in an area that provides enough room to easily handle the size of your workpiece. Cramped, dark areas, and uneven slippery floors invite accidents.
- Frequently clean and remove sawdust from under the saw table and/or the dust collection device. Accumulated sawdust is combustible and may self-ignite.
- The table saw must be secured. A table saw that is not properly secured may move or tip over.
- Remove tools, wood scraps, etc. from the table before the table saw is turned on. Distraction or a potential jam can be dangerous.
- Always use saw blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Saw blades that DO NOT match the mounting hardware of the saw will run off-centre, causing loss of control.
- Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade mounting means such as flanges, saw blade washers, bolts or nuts. These mounting means were specially designed for your saw, for safe operation and optimum performance.
- Never stand on the table saw, DO NOT use it as a stepping stool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally contacted.
- Make sure that the saw blade is installed to rotate in the proper direction. DO NOT use grinding wheels, wire brushes, or abrasive wheels on a table saw. Improper saw blade installation or use of accessories not recommended may cause serious injury.
Additional Safety Rules for Table Saws
![]()
Cutting plastics, sap coated wood, and other materials may cause melted material to accumulate on the blade tips and the body of the saw blade, increasing the risk of blade overheating and binding while cutting.
- Avoid awkward positions, where a sudden slip could cause a hand to move into a saw blade.
- DO NOT attempt to retrieve materials near the blade on the saw table while the blade is spinning.
- Never reach in back of, or around, the cutting tool with either hand to hold down the workpiece.
- Keep arms, hands and fingers away from the blade to prevent serious injury.
- Use a push stick that is appropriate to the application to push workpieces through the saw. A push stick is a wooden or plastic stick, often homemade, that should be used whenever the size or shape of the workpiece would cause you to place your hands within 152 mm of the blade.
- Use hold-downs, jigs, fixtures or feather boards to help guide and control the workpiece. Accessories for use with your tool are available at extra cost from your local dealer or authorized service centre.
- DO NOT perform ripping, crosscutting or any other operation freehand.
- Never reach around or over saw blade while the blade is spinning.
- Stability. Make sure the table saw is firmly mounted to a secure surface before use and does not move.
- The table saw should only be set up on a level and stable surface. The work area should be free from obstructions and trip hazards. No materials or tools should be leaned against the saw.
- Never cut metals, cement board or masonry. Certain manmade materials have special instructions for cutting on table saws. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations at all times. Damage to the saw and personal injury may result.
- DO NOT install a diamond masonry blade and attempt to use the table saw as a wet saw.
- The proper throat plate must be locked in place at all times to reduce the risk of a thrown workpiece and possible injury.
- Wear gloves when handling saw blades.
- Use the correct saw blade for the intended operation. The blade must rotate toward the front of the saw. Always tighten the blade arbor nut securely. Before use, inspect the blade for cracks or missing teeth. DO NOT use a damaged or dull blade.
- Never attempt to free a stalled saw blade without first turning the machine off and disconnect tool from power source. If a workpiece or cut-off piece becomes trapped inside the blade guard assembly, turn saw off and wait for blade to stop before lifting the blade guard assembly and removing the piece.
- Never start the machine with the workpiece against the blade to reduce the risk of a thrown workpiece and personal injury.
- DO NOT have any part of your body in line with the blade. Personal injury may occur. Stand to either side of the blade.
- Never perform layout, assembly or set-up work on the table/work area when the machine is running. A sudden slip could cause a hand to move into the blade. Severe injury can result.
- Never perform any adjustments while the saw is running such as fence repositioning or removal, bevel lock adjustment, or blade height adjustment.
- Clean the table/work area before leaving the machine. Lock the switch in the "OFF" position and disconnect tool from power source to prevent unauthorized use.
- Always lock the fence and bevel adjustment before cutting.
- Avoid overheating the saw blade tips. Keep material moving and parallel with the fence. DO NOT force work into the blade.
- If cutting plastic materials, avoid melting the plastic.
- DO NOT leave a long board (or other workpiece) unsupported so the spring of the board causes it to shift on the table resulting in loss of control and possible injury. Provide proper support for the workpiece, based on its size and the type of operation to be performed. Hold the work firmly against the fence and down against the table surface.
- If this saw makes an unfamiliar noise or if it vibrates excessively, cease operating immediately, turn unit off and disconnect tool from power source until the problem has been located and corrected. Contact a DeWALT factory service centre, a DeWALT authorized service centre or other qualified service personnel if the problem can not be found.
- DO NOT operate this machine until it is completely assembled and installed according to the instructions. A machine incorrectly assembled can cause serious injury.
- Never attempt to cut a stack of loose pieces of material which could cause loss of control or kickback. Support all materials securely.
Saw Blades
![]()
to minimise the risk of kickback and to ensure proper cutting, the splitter and riving knife must be the proper thickness for the blade used. If a different blade is used, check the blade body (plate) thickness and the blade kerf (cutting) width marked on the blade or on the blade packaging. The splitter and riving knife thickness must be greater than the body thickness and less than the kerf width.
- DO NOT use saw blades that DO NOT conform to the dimensions stated in the Technical Data. DO NOT use any spacers to make a blade fit onto the spindle. Use only the blades specified in this manual, complying with EN847-1:2017, if intended for wood and similar materials.
- Consider applying specially designed noise-reduction blades.
- DO NOT use high steel (HS) saw blades.
- DO NOT use cracked or damaged saw blades.

Ensure that the surface is stable enough that large pieces of material will not cause it to tip over during use. The table saw must be mounted firmly. Mounting holes
are provided in the tool's base for mounting. We strongly recommend that these holes be used to anchor the table saw to your workbench or other stationary rigid frame.
- Centre the saw on a square piece of 12.7 mm plywood.
- Mark the positions of the two rear mounting holes spaced 220 mm apart) in the frame of the saw with a pencil. Then measure forward 498.5 mm for the two front holes spaced 230 mm apart.
- Remove the saw and drill 9 mm holes in the places you have just marked.
- Position the saw over the four holes you drilled in the plywood and insert four 8 mm machine screws FROM THE BOTTOM. Install washers and 8 mm nuts on the top. Tighten securely.
- In order to prevent the screw heads from marring the surface to which you clamp the saw, attach two strips of scrap wood to the bottom of the plywood base. These strips can be attached with wood screws installed from the top side as long as they don't protrude through the bottom of the strip.
- Use a "C" clamp to secure the plywood base to your workbench whenever you use the saw.

- Lock the mitre gauge at 0°.
- Proceed as for ripping.
Mitre Cuts (Fig. A)
- Set the mitre gauge
to the required angle.
NOTE: Always hold the workpiece tightly against the face of the mitre gauge. - Proceed as for ripping.
Compound Mitre
This cut is a combination of a mitre and a bevel cut. Set the bevel to the angle required and proceed as for a cross-cut mitre.
Support for Long Pieces
- Always support long pieces.
- Support long workpieces using any convenient means such as saw-horses or similar devices to keep the ends from dropping.
Non-Through-Cutting
(Grooving and Rabbeting)
![]()
Remove the blade guard assembly
and install the non-through-cutting riving knife
for non-throughcutting operations. Use featherboards for all non-through-cutting operations where the blade guard assembly, anti-kickback assembly and riving kife cannot be used.
Instructions in the Ripping, Crosscutting, Bevel Crosscutting, Mitreing, and Compound Mitreing sections are for cuts made through the full thickness of the material. The saw can also perform non-through cuts to form grooves or rabbets in the material.
Non-Through-Ripping (Fig. A, D, U)
![]()
A rip fence should ALWAYS be used for ripping operations to prevent loss of control and personal injury. NEVER perform a ripping operation freehand. ALWAYS lock the fence to the rail.
![]()
When bevel ripping and whenever possible, place the fence on the side of the blade so that the blade is tilted away from the fence and hands.
![]()
Keep hands clear of the blade. With non-throughcutting the blade is not always visible during the cut, so increased caution is necessary to ensure hands are clear of the blade.
![DeWalt - DWE7492 - Non-Through-Ripping Non-Through-Ripping]()
- Remove the blade guard assembly
and install the nonthrough-cutting riving knife
(Fig. D). Refer to: Mounting the Blade Guard Assembly/Riving Knife. - Lock the rip fence
by pressing the rail lock lever down. Remove the mitre gauge. - Raise the blade to the desired cut depth.
- Hold the workpiece flat on the table
and against the fence. Keep the workpiece about 25.4 mm away from the blade.
![]()
The workpiece must have a straight edge against the fence and must not be warped, twisted or bowed. Keep both hands away from the blade and away from the path of the blade. See proper hand position in Fig. U. - Turn the saw on and allow the blade to come up to speed. Both hands can be used in starting the cut. When there are approximately 305 mm left to be ripped, use only one hand, with your thumb pushing the material, your index and second finger holding the material down and your other fingers hooked over the fence. Always keep your thumb along side your first two fingers and near the fence.
- Keeping the workpiece against the table and fence, slowly feed the workpiece rearward all the way through the saw blade. Continue pushing the workpiece until it is clear of the blade guard assembly and it falls off the rear of the table. DO NOT overload the motor.
- Never try to pull the workpiece back with the blade turning. Turn the switch off, allow the blade to stop and slide the workpiece out.
- When sawing a long piece of material or a panel, always use a work support. A sawhorse, rollers, or out feed assembly provides adequate support for this purpose. The work support must be at the same height or slightly lower than the saw table.
Non-Through-Ripping Small Pieces (Fig. A)
It is unsafe to rip small pieces. It is not safe to put your hands close to the blade. Instead, rip a larger piece to obtain the desired piece. When a small width is to be ripped and the hand cannot be safely put between the blade and the rip fence, use one or more push sticks. A push stick
is included with this saw, attached to the rip fence. Use the push stick(s) to hold the workpiece against the table and fence, and push the workpiece fully past the blade.
Non-Through-Bevel Ripping (Fig. V)
This operation is the same as non-through-cut ripping except the bevel angle is set to an angle other than zero degrees. For proper hand position, Refer to Fig. V.
