ADJUSTING THE RIP SCALE (FIG. 1, 10)
1. Unlock the rail lock lever (E).
2. Set the blade at 0° bevel and move the fence in until
touches the blade.
3. Lock the rail lock lever.
4. Loosen the rip scale indicator screws (A10) and set
the rip scale indicator to read zero (0). Retighten the rip
scale indicator screws. The rip scale reads correctly only
when the fence is mounted on the right side of the blade.
ANTI-KICKBACK ASSEMBLY (FIG. 11, 12)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, the anti-kickback assembly
must be in place for all possible cuts.
1. Remove the anti-kickback assembly (P) from the storage position. See Storage
(page 14).
2. Locate the anti-kickback mounting hole and slot (Z) at the top of the riving knife (O).
3. Slide the anti-kickback housing along the top of the riving knife until the stem (AA) locates
the slot above the mounting hole. Depress the stem (AA) on the anti- kickback assembly to
allow the assembly to drop into the hole (Z). Push down on the anti-kickback assembly until
it snaps into place and locks the assembly. NOTE: Pull up on the anti-kickback assembly
to ensure it has locked into place.

TO ATTACH BLADE GUARD ASSEMBLY
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, the blade guard assembly must
be in place for all possible cuts.
1. While holding the blade guard assembly (M) in a
vertical position slide the locating pin (BB) into the
riving knife slot (CC) centering the riving knife within
the v-shaped notch in the top guard. See Figure 13.
2. Rotate the blade guard assembly towards the front
of the saw while keeping the pin (BB) at the top of
the riving knife slot. Rotate until the blade guard
assembly is parallel to the table. See Figure 14.
3. Press the blade guard lock lever (N) down until it
snaps into the locked position. Check to make sure
the guard is locked onto the riving knife. If the guard
is not locked the blade guard lock lever will flip up to
the unlocked position. See Figure 15.

Bench Mounting (Fig. 3)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn unit off and
disconnect machine from power source before attempting to move it, change
accessories or make any adjustments. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal injury, make sure table saw is firmly mounted
before use.
CAUTION: Ensure that the surface is stable enough that large pieces of material will not
cause it to tip over during use.
The table saw must be mounted firmly. The mounting surface must have a 15" by 20"
(38 x 51 cm) opening to allow dust to escape.
Four holes (J) are provided in the tool's feet for mounting. We strongly recommend that
these holes be used to anchor the table saw to your workbench or other stationary rigid
frame. Alternately, to enhance the saw's portability, it can be mounted to a piece of wood
that can be "C" clamped to your work surface and stand. The D
Stand and the DW7440RS Rolling Stand are designed for use with the DW744. They are
available from your local D WALT dealer or service center.

1. Center the saw on a square piece of 1/2" (12.7 mm) plywood. The plywood must have
a 15" x 20" (38 x 51cm) opening to allow dust to escape.
2. Mark the positions of the four mounting holes in the base of the saw with a pencil.
3. Remove the saw and drill 1/4" (6.4 mm) holes in the places you have just marked.
4. Position the saw over the four holes you drilled in the plywood and insert four 1/4"
(6.4 mm) machine screws FROM THE BOTTOM. Install washers and 1/4" (6.4 mm) nuts
on the top. Tighten securely.
5. In order to prevent the screw heads from marring the surface to which you clamp the
saw, attach two strips of scrap wood to the bottom of the plywood base. These strips can
be attached with wood screws installed from the top side as long as they don't protrude
through the bottom of the strip.
6. "C" clamp the plywood base to your workbench whenever you want to use the saw.
Connecting Saw to Power Source
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, before connecting saw to power source, make
sure the switch is in the OFF position.
Be sure your power supply agrees with the name plate marking. AC ONLY means that your
saw will operate on alternating current only. A voltage decrease of 10 percent or more will
cause a loss of power and overheating. All D
not operate, check the power supply.
