DeWalt D27107 Mode D'emploi page 41

Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with the square.
• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
• Loosen the bevel clamp knob (17) (fi g. I1) and turn the vertical position
adjustment stop screw (87) (fi g. I3) in or out until the blade is at 90° to
the table as measured with the square (fi g. I2).
• If the bevel pointer (88) does not indicate zero on the bevel scale (89),
loosen the screw (90) that secures the pointer and move the pointer as
necessary (fi g. I3).
Adjusting the fence (fi g. J)
The upper part of the left side of the fence can be adjusted to the left to
provide clearance, allowing the saw to bevel to a full 48° left. To adjust the
fence (7):
• Loosen the fence clamping knob (91) and slide the upper part of the
side fence to the left.
• Make a dry run with the saw switched 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 the knob securely.
The guide groove (92) can become clogged with sawdust.
Use a stick or some low pressure air to clear the guide groove.
Checking and adjusting the bevel angle (fi g. I1, J & K)
• Loosen the fence clamping knob (91) and slide the upper part of the
side fence to the left as far as it will go (fi g. J).
• Loosen the bevel clamp knob (17) (fi g. I1) and with the intermediate
bevel position stop (93) turned aside move the saw arm to the left until
the angle position stop (94) rests against the bevel position adjustment
stop (95) (fi g. K). This is the 45° bevel position.
• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
• Turn the bevel position adjustment stop screw (95) in or out as
necessary until the pointer (88) indicates 45° with the angle position
stop resting against the bevel position adjustment stop.
Checking and adjusting the intermediate bevel angle (fi g. I1, J & L)
The intermediate bevel angle is preset at 30°, enabling a quick setting for
the cutting of crown moulding.
• Loosen the fence clamping knob (91) and slide the upper part of the
side fence to the left as far as it will go (fi g. J).
• Loosen the bevel clamp knob (17) (fi g. I1) and with the intermediate
bevel position stop (93) turned into place move the saw arm to the left
until the angle position adjustment stop (96) rests on the intermediate
bevel position stop (93) (fi g. L). This is the 30° bevel position.
• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
• Turn the bevel position adjustment stop screw (96) in or out as
necessary until the pointer (88) indicates 30° with the bevel position
adjustment stop resting on the intermediate bevel position stop.
Assembly for saw bench mode
Changing from mitre saw to saw bench mode (fi g. A1, M1 - M5)
• Put the blade into 0° cross-cut position with the rotating table clamp (3)
secured (fi g. A1).
• Slacken the riving knife clamp knob (97) just enough to allow the riving
knife to enter the mounting slot (fi g. M1).
• Remove the riving knife (20) from its storage position in the inside of the
base.
• Depress the guard release lever (9) to release the blade guard (8),
then raise the blade guard as far as possible (fi g. A1).
• Slide the riving knife bracket (98) into the mounting slot (99) (fi g. M1).
Tighten the clamp knob.
• Push the lever (100) to allow the spring loaded upper part of the fence (7)
to rest against the rotating table (fi g. M2)
• Pull down the sawhead.
• Push the release lever (69) to the rear (fi g. M3).
• Push the bearing unit (70) down until notches (101) engage in the
locations (102) (fi g. M3).
The blade should not foul the lower blade guard.
• Pull the table release lever (2) to the right, lift the front edge of the table
(4) fi g. M4) and fl ip it back through 180° until the plate of the table-
locking device (68) automatically engages the latch of the table locking
device to secure it in the saw bench mode (fi g. M5).
• Remove the under-table guard.
Adjusting the riving knife (fi g. N1 & N2)
When adjustments to the riving knife (20) are to be made, it is
best to rotate the unit in mitre saw mode (fi g. N2). Proceed as
described in the section "Changing from saw bench to mitre
saw mode".
The correct position is for the top of the riving knife to be no more than 2 mm
below the highest tooth of the blade and the body of the radius to be a
maximum of 3 - 8 mm from the tips of the saw blade teeth (fi g. N1).
• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
• Slacken the bolts (102) to adjust the horizontal position of the riving knife.
• Slacken the bolts (103) to adjust the vertical position of the riving knife.
• Securely tighten the bolts.
Fitting the upper blade guard (fi g. O)
The upper blade guard (21) is designed to be quickly and easily attached
to the riving knife (20) once the machine has been set up for saw bench mode.
• Loosen the wingnut (105).
• Holding the guard vertically, align the slot in the rear of the guard with
the riving knife.
• Lower the guard over the riving knife (20), making sure that the shaft of
the bolt enters the recess.
• Turn the guard into horizontal position, which will lock the guard to the
riving knife by the locating screw (106).
• Tighten the wingnut.
Never use your saw in saw bench mode without the upper
guard correctly fi tted.
Mounting and adjusting the parallel fence (fi g. P1 - P5)
The parallel fence (22) can be mounted on either side of the blade.
• Slide the bracket (107) on from the left or the right (fi g. P1).
The clamping plate engages behind the front edge of the table.
• Slide the fence up against the blade.
• Push the lever (108) down to secure the fence in place.
• Check that the fence is parallel to the blade.
• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
• Loosen the lock knobs (109) and slide the fence backwards in order to
obtain access to the adjustment bolts (110) in the top of the fence (fi g. P2).
• Using the spanner, loosen the adjustment bolts fastening the fence
bracket to the fence support.
• Adjust the fence so that it is parallel to the blade by checking the
distance between the blade and the fence at the front and rear of the
blade.
• When the adjustment has been carried out, re-tighten the adjustment
bolts and check again that the fence is parallel to the blade.
