ENGLISH

• Hold the stop screw (25) in place and re-tighten the lock nut (54).

• If the bevel pointer (55) does not indicate zero on the bevel scale (12),

loosen the screw (56) that secures the pointer (55) and move the

pointer as necessary.

• Lower the arm so that the blade (41) protrudes slightly through the kerf

plate (27).

• Place a set square (48) on the table and up against the blade (41).

Do not touch the teeth with the square to avoid inaccurate

measurements.

• If the blade is not at right angles with the table, adjust the blade as follows:

- To move the blade to the right

• Loosen the bottom screw (63) to align the blade to the square.

• Tighten the top screw (62).

- To move the blade to the left

• Loosen the top screw (62).

• Tighten the bottom screw (63) align the blade to the square.

• Tighten the top screw (62).

For either adjustment be sure both screws are fully tightened to secure the

adjustment against movement.

DW705 - Adjusting the fence (fig. K)

The upper part of the left side of the fence (7) can be adjusted to the left to

provide clearance, allowing the saw to bevel to a full 48° left.

To adjust the fence:

• Loosen the two plastic knobs (23) and slide the fence to the left.

• Make a dry run with the saw turned OFF and check for clearance.

Adjust the fence to be as close to the blade as practical to provide

maximum workpiece support, without interfering with the up and down

movement of the arm.

• Tighten both knobs securely.

• Move the fence back to the right after the cut has been accomplished.

The guide groove (58), fig. K, on the left side fence can

become clogged with sawdust. Use a stick or some low

pressure air to clear the guide groove.

DW705 - Checking and adjusting the bevel angle (fig. K, L1 - L4)

• Loosen the left side fence clamping knobs (23) and slide the upper part

of the left side fence to the left as far as it will go.

• Loosen the bevel clamp handle (21) and move the saw arm to the left

until the angle position stop (19) rests on the bevel position adjustment

stop (26). This is the 45° bevel position.

• If the bevel pointer (55) does not indicate exactly 45°, the saw arm is

out of adjustment.

• To adjust the arm, loosen the lock nut (59) on the bevel position

adjustment stop (26) in fig. L2.

• Adjust the stop screw up or down as necessary until the pointer

indicates 45° with the angle position stop (19) resting against the bevel

position adjustment stop (26).

• Hold the screw stationary while you firmly tighten the lock nut (59).

Do not adjust the bevel pointer.

• To achieve a 3° right bevel or a 48° left bevel, the two adjustment

stopscrews must be adjusted to allow the saw arm to move as

necessary. Re-adjust the stops when the cuts are finished.

Instructions for use

Always observe the safety instructions and applicable

regulations. The attention of UK users is drawn to the

“woodworking machines regulations 1974” and any

subsequent amendments.

Prior to operation:

• Install the appropriate saw blade. Do not use excessively worn blades.

The maximum rotation speed of the tool must not exceed that of the

saw blade.

• Secure the workpiece.

• Although this saw will cut wood and many nonferrous materials,

these operating instructions refer to the cutting of wood only.

The same guide-lines apply to the other materials. Do not cut ferrous

(iron and steel) materials or masonry with this saw! Do not use any

abrasive discs!

• Do not attempt to cut excessively small pieces.

• Allow the blade to cut freely. Do not force.

• Allow the motor to reach full speed before cutting.

• Make sure all locking knobs and clamp handles are tight.

• Make sure to use the kerf plate. Do not operate the machine if the kerf

slot is wider than 9 mm.

Switching ON and OFF (fig. M1 & M2)

• To turn the saw ON, depress the trigger switch (17) as shown in fig. M1.

• To turn the tool OFF, release the switch.

• There is no provision for locking the switch ON, but a hole (13) is

provided in the trigger for insertion of a padlock to lock the saw OFF.

Vertical straight cross-cut (fig. B1, B2 & N)

• Loosen the mitre clamp knob (4) and squeeze the mitre latch (5) upwards.

• Engage the mitre latch at the 0° position and tighten the mitre clamp knob.

• Place the wood to be cut against the fence (3 & 7).

• Take hold of the operating handle (1) and depress the head lock up

release lever (10) to release the head. Press the trigger switch (17) to

start the motor.

• Depress the head to allow the blade to cut through the timber and

enter the plastic kerf plate (27).

• After completing the cut, release the switch (17) and return the head to

its upper rest position.

Vertical mitre cross-cut (fig. G1 & G2, O)

• Loosen the mitre clamp knob and squeeze the mitre latch upwards.

Move the head left or right to the required angle.

• The mitre latch will automatically locate at 15°, 22.5°, 30° and 45°.

If any intermediate angle or 48° is required hold the head firmly and

lock by tightening the mitre clamp knob.

• Always ensure that the mitre clamp knob is locked tightly before cutting.

• Proceed as for a straight cross-cut.

When mitring the end of a piece of wood with a small off-cut,

position the wood to ensure that the off-cut is to the side of

the blade with the greater angle to the fence; i.e. left mitre,

off-cut to the right - right mitre, off-cut to the left.

DW705 - Bevel cross-cut (fig. B2 & P)

• Loosen the left side fence clamping knobs (23) and slide the upper part

of the left side fence to the left as far as it will go. Loosen the bevel

clamp handle (21) and set the bevel as desired.

• Tighten the bevel clamp handle (21) firmly.

• Bevel angles can be set from 3° right to 48° left and can be cut with

the mitre arm set between zero and a maximum of 45° mitre position

right or left.

• Proceed as for “Vertical straight cross-cut”.

Quality of cut

The smoothness of any cut depends on a number of variables,

e.g. the material being cut. When smoothest cuts are desired for moulding

and other precision work, a sharp (60 tooth carbide) blade and a slower,

even cutting rate will produce the desired results.
