• Set the mitre angle to the nearest whole degree desired by aligning the

centre mark in the vernier scale, shown in (fig. P1), with the whole

degree number etched in the mitre scale. Examine (fig. P1) closely;

the setting shown is 24° right mitre.

• To set the additional

/2°, squeeze the mitre arm lock and carefully

move the arm to the right until the

/2° vernier mark aligns with the

closest degree mark on the mitre scale. In this example, the closest

degree mark on the mitre scale happens to be 25°. Fig. P2 shows a

setting of 24

/2° right mitre.

When mitring to the right:

- increase the mitre angle by moving the arm to align the appropriate

vernier mark with the closest mark on the mitre scale to the right.

- decrease the mitre angle by moving the arm to align the appropriate

vernier mark with the closest mark on the mitre scale to the left.

When mitring to the left:

- increase the mitre angle by moving the arm to align the appropriate

vernier mark with the closest mark on the mitre scale to the left.

- decrease the mitre angle by moving the arm to align the appropriate

vernier mark with the closest mark on the mitre scale to the right.

Cutting base mouldings (fig. Q1 - Q4)

Vertical position

• Always make a dry run without power before making any cuts.

Straight 90° cuts (fig. Q1)

• Position the wood against the fence as shown in fig. Q1.

• Turn the saw ON, allow the blade to reach full speed and lower the arm

smoothly through the cut.

45° mitre cuts (fig. Q2)

• Position the moulding as shown in fig. Q2.

• All cuts are made with the back of the moulding against the fence and

the bottom of the moulding against the base.

Horizontal position using bevel (fig. M3)

Another method of making the cut is to make a 0° mitre, 45° bevel cut.

All cuts are made with the back of the moulding laying flat on the saw as

shown in fig. M3.

Inside corner

- Left side

• Position the moulding with top of the moulding against the fence.

• Save the left side of the cut.

- Right side

• Position the moulding with the bottom of the moulding against the fence.

• Save the left side of the cut.

Outside corner

- Left side

• Position the moulding with the bottom of the moulding against

the fence.

Grooving (fig. R)

Your saw is equipped with a grooving stop (22) and thumbscrew (21) to

allow for groove cutting.

• Flip the grooving stop (22) towards the front of the saw.

• Adjust the thumbscrew (21) to set the depth of the groove cut.

Cutting non-ferrous metals

When cutting non-ferrous metals, the machine is only to be used to

perform vertical straight and mitre cross-cuts in the mitre saw mode.

We recommend that bevel and compound mitre cuts should not be

performed in non-ferrous metals. The machine is not to be used for cutting

ferrous metals.

• Always use a material clamp when cutting non-ferrous metals.

Make sure that the workpiece is clamped securely.

• Only apply saw blades that are qualified for cutting non-ferrous metals.

• When using lubricants, only apply wax or separation spray. Do not use

emulsions or similar fluids.

• Connect an FI or DI switch between machine and mains to avoid

residual risks caused by metal swarf.

The FI switch should comply with the following specifications:

rated voltage 230 V

rated current 16 A

reaction time < 15 ms

fusing current 30 mA

The DI switch should comply with the following specifications:

DIN VDE 0661

rated voltage 230 V

rated current 16 A

fusing current 30 mA

all-pole cutoff L+N+PE

PE monitoring

low-voltage release

Consult your dealer for further information on the appropriate accessories.

These include various saw blades, extension kits (DE7080), adjustable

length stops (DE7051), vertical clamps (DE7082), crown stops (DE7084)

and dustbags (DE7053).

Transport (fig. A1, A2 & B)

In order to conveniently carry your saw, a carrying handle (9) has been

included on the top of the saw arm (fig. B).

• To transport the saw (fig. B), lower the arm and depress the lock down

pin (16) (fig. A1).

• Mitre the saw 60° to the right, lock the mitre lever (4), lock the rail lock

knob (20) with the head fully forward, slide the fences (7) completely

inward and lock the bevel lever (11) with the saw at 0° bevel.

• Always use the carrying handle (18) and/or the handholds (24) (fig. A2)

to transport the saw.

I have a DeWalt dw708 sliding compound miter saw. The bald is stuck in the up position. I am having a major brain fart, and can’t figure out how to unlock it, so it will lower. I’ve looked on line, and people point to an unlocking button on the side, or say there’s a button near the top. No button near the top on mine that I can see, and the button on the right side doesn’t seem to do anything. Help please? Submitted on 8-12-2021 at 01:36
