Accessories
Recommended accessories for use with your tool are
available at extra cost from your local service center.
CAUTION: The use of any non-recommended acces-
sory such as dado sets, molding cutters, or abrasive
wheels may be hazardous.
If you need assistance in locating any accessory, please
contact D
E WALT Industrial Tool Co., 701 East Joppa
Road, Baltimore, MD 21286 or call 1-800-4-D E WALT
(1-800-433-9258).
Bench Mounting
Holes are provided in all four feet to facilitate bench mount-
ing, as shown in Figure 2. (Two different sized holes are
provided to accommodate different sizes of screws. Use
either hole, it is not necessary to use both.) Always mount
your saw firmly to prevent movement. To enhance the
tool’s portability, it can be mounted to a piece of 1/2" or
thicker plywood which can then be clamped to your work
support or moved to other job sites and reclamped.
NOTE: If you elect to mount your saw to a piece of ply-
wood, make sure that the mounting screws don’t protrude
from the bottom of the wood. The plywood must sit flush on
the work support. When clamping the saw to any work sur-
face, clamp only on the clamping bosses where the mount-
ing screw holes are located. Clamping at any other point
will surely interfere with the proper operation of the saw.
CAUTION: To prevent binding and inaccuracy, be sure
the mounting surface is not warped or otherwise uneven.
If the saw rocks on the surface place a thin piece of mate-
rial under one saw foot until the saw sits firmly on the
mounting surface.
