PLEASE READ ENTIRE ASSEMBLY SECTION
BEFORE PROCEEDING.
Assembly
If you have other accessories (52" Rail System and/or
Outfeed Table) assemble the 52" Rail system first, except
for attaching the front and rear rail. Then return to this
manual at Step 16. Outfeed Table should be assembled
last.
Table saw Preparation: If you are adding the DW7461
Sliding Table to an existing DW746 saw, disassemble the
saw as described in steps 1 through 4. If your saw is not
yet assembled, begin assembly with step 5.
STEP 1: Remove rear fence rail. Unbolt and remove the
rear fence rail. If you have a 52" rail system or an out-
feed support table which uses mounting brackets to
support the rail leave the brackets in place.
STEP2 : Remove front fence rail. Remove the front fence
rail from the mounting brackets by unscrewing the
8MM nuts on the bottom and lifting straight up.
STEP 3: Remove front rail brackets. Remove the fence
rail mounting brackets from the saw by unscrewing the
T50 flat head screws.
STEP 4 : Remove left side support table. Loosen the
three M10 bolts holding the left support table to the
table saw. You can now lift the support table up and
off. Finish removing the hardware.
IF THE SAW IS NEW, COMPLETE STEPS 5-11. IF NOT
SKIP TO STEP 12.
STEP 5 : If the saw is new, remove parts box, motor cover,
fence beam, and side tables from saw packaging.
Unpack rail carton containing front and rear rails.
STEP 6. If the saw is new, turn the saw right side up. You
will need help. The combined weight of the table top
and motor is approximately 200 lbs.
STEP 7. Cut and remove plastic strap holding the motor.
STEP 8. Using front hand crank, lower the motor some
and remove the foam packing material between the
motor and the mechanism.
STEP 9. Install bevel crank (Fig. 1). To do this, first
install the crank handle (A) over the shaft (B), rotate
slightly to fully engage the shaft pin. Screw the lock
knob (C) into place until it is fully seated, then back it
off 1/4 to 1/2 turn.

STEP 10. Using height crank, raise mechanism up as
high as it will go.
STEP 11. Install wrench hook (Fig. 2). On the front right
leg, near the top is a plastic threaded insert. Thread
the "L" shaped wrench hook in
until only a few threads are vis-
ible.

STEP 12. Unpack Slide Table carton.
STEP 13. Replace table saw leg screws (Fig. 3).
You will need: 4 - 8 x 55mm hex head bolts
4 - 8mm lock washers
4 - 8mm nuts
Working on one bolt at a time, remove M8 cap screws
and replace with an M8 x 55 hex head bolt (Do not
remove all M8 cap screws at the same time.) Install
bolt from the inside of the table saw and secure with a
lock washer and nut, fully tighten and insure that wash-
er and nut are within the depression on the leg.
Continue, one at a time, until all four M8 bolts on the
left side of the saw have been replaced.

STEP 14. Install stabilizing legs on saw.
You will need: 4 - Leg clamp brackets
4 - 8mm lock washers
4 - 8mm nuts
The legs can be installed in either of two positions
depending on whether you are using a mobile base
(DW7460). Without the mobile base, the legs are
installed with the identification mark (hole) toward the
top as shown in figure 4. If a mobile base is installed,
then the identification mark is toward the bottom.
Secure the stabilizing legs to the saw using the leg
clamp brackets, lock washers, and nuts. Snug the
nuts, but do not tighten.
