2. Press the saw head fully to the rear position and measure the height from the rotating
table 14 to the bottom of the outer flange
3. Turn the saw head traverse lock 18 (Fig. B).
4. Keeping the saw head fully depressed, pull the head to the end of its travel.
5. Measure the height indicated in figure K again. Both values should be identical.
6. If adjustment is required, proceed as follows (Fig. L):
a. Loosen the locknut 46 in the bracket
and adjust the screw 48 as required, proceeding in small steps.
b. Tighten the locknut 46 .

WARNING: Always check that the blade does not touch the table at the rear of the slot or
at the front of the rotating arm at 90° vertical and 45° bevel positions. Do not switch on
before having checked this!
Adjusting the Fence (Fig. M)
Turn the sliding fence lock knob 9 anti-clockwise to loosen. Move the sliding fence
position that avoids the blade cuts it,then tighten the fence lock knob by turning clockwise.

3. Swing the mitre arm until the latch locates it at the 0° mitre position.
4. Pull down the head and lock it in this position using the lock down button
5. Check that the two 0° markings 49 on the mitre scale
6. Place a square against the left side of the fence
50

WARNING: Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with the square.
7. If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
a. Loosen the screws 51 and move the scale/mitre arm assembly left or right until the
blade is at 90° to the fence as measured with the square (Fig. N).
b. Retighten the screws 51 .
Checking and Adjusting the Blade to the Table (Fig. P–R)
1. Loosen the bevel clamp handle 20 (Fig. P).
2. Press the saw head to the right to ensure it is fully vertical and tighten the bevel
clamp handle.
3. Place a set square 50 on the table and up against the blade

WARNING: Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with the square.
4. If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
a. Loosen the bevel clamp handle 20
screw 52 in or out until the blade is at 90° to the table as measured with the square.
b. If the bevel pointer 53 does not indicate zero on the bevel scale
screws 54 that secure the scale and move the scale as necessary.
Checking and Adjusting the Bevel Angle
(Fig. A, P, R)
The bevel override allows the max. bevel angle to be set at 45° or 48° as required.
• Left = 45°
• Right = 48°
1. Make sure the override knob 55 is located in the left position.
2. Loosen the bevel clamp handle 20 and move the saw head to the left.
3. This is the 45° bevel position.
4. If adjustment is required, turn the stopscrew
pointer 53 indicates 45°.

WARNING: The guide grooves can become clogged with sawdust. Use a stick or some
low pressure air to clear the guide grooves.

Prior to Operation


WARNING:
• Install the appropriate saw blade. Do not use excessively worn blades. The maximum
rotation speed of the tool must not exceed that of thesaw blade.
• 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.
• Secure the workpiece.
• Although this saw will cut wood and many nonferrous materials,these operating
instructions refer to the cutting of wood only. The sameguide-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!
• Make sure to use the kerf plate. Do not operate the machine if the kerf slot is wider
than 10 mm.
• Placing the workpiece on a piece of wood will increase the capacities to 300 mm.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect machine
from power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting
or changing set-ups or when making repairs. Be sure the trigger switch is in the OFF
position. An accidental
start-up can cause injury.
The attention of UK users is drawn to the "woodworking machines regulations 1974" and any
subsequent amendments.

Ensure the machine is placed to satisfy your ergonomic conditions in terms of table height
and stability. The machine site shall be chosen so that the operator has a good overview and
enough free surrounding space around the machine that allows handling of the workpiece
without any restrictions.
To reduce effects of increased vibration, make sure the environment is not too cold, the
machine and accessory are well maintained and the workpiece size is suitable for this machine.

Use of XPS™ LED Worklight System (Fig. A, V)
nOTE: The mitre saw must be connected to a power source.
The XPS™ LED Worklight System is operated with an push button switch, fitted on the handle
under the black plastic lever. The XPS™ LED Worklight System is independent of the mitre
saw's trigger switch.
To cut through an existing pencil line on a piece of wood:
1. Push the black plastic lever, then pull down on the operating handle
blade 8 close to the wood. The shadow of the blade will appear on the wood.
2. Align the pencil line with the edge of the blade's shadow. You may have to adjust the
mitre or bevel angles in order to match the pencil line exactly.
Speed Control Dial (DWS771 only)
The speed control dial 29 can be used for advance setting of the required range of speed.
Turn the speed control dial

• Use high speeds for sawing soft materials such as wood.
• Use low speeds for sawing hardwood.
Body and Hand Position
Proper positioning of your body and hands when operating the mitre saw will make cutting
easier, more accurate and safer.

WARNING:
• Never place your hands near the cutting area.
• Place your hands no closer than 150 mm from the blade.
• Hold the workpiece tightly to the table and the fence when cutting. Keep your hands
in position until the switch has been released and the blade has completely stopped.
• Always make dry runs (without power) before finish
cuts so that you can check the path of the blade.
• Do not cross your hands.
• Keep both feet firmly on the floor and maintain proper balance.
• As you move the saw arm left and right, follow it and stand slightly to the side of the
saw blade.
Basic Saw Cuts
Vertical straight cross cut (Fig. A, S)
nOTE: Use 216 mm saw blades with 30 mm arbor holes to obtain the desired
cutting capacities.
1. Slacken the mitre latch 13
2. Engage the mitre latch

3. Place the wood to be cut against the fence
4. Take hold of the carrying handle
the guard. Press the trigger switch
near the fence.
5. Depress the head to allow the blade to cut through the timber and enter the plastic
kerf plate 11 .
6. When the head is fully depressed, slowly pull it across to complete the cut.
7. After completing the cut, release the switch and wait for the saw blade to come to a
complete standstill before returning the head to its upper rest position.

WARNING:
• For some types of plastic profiles, it is advisable to follow the sequence in reverse order.
• The lower blade guard is designed to close quickly
when the lever 2 is released. If it does not close within
1 second, have the saw serviced by an authorized D
