WARNING: Before inserting the battery into the table saw or operating the saw, always
inspect the blade guard assembly and riving knife for proper alignment and clearance with
saw blade. Check alignment after each change of bevel angle.
NOTE: DO NOT operate saw if riving knife lock pin is not locked into the blade guard or
riving knife.
When properly aligned, the riving knife will be in line with the blade at both table top level,
and at the top of the blade. Using a straight edge, ensure that the blade
riving knife
as shown in Figure G. Operate the blade tilt and height adjustments through the
23
extremes of travel and ensure the blade guard assembly clears the blade in all operations and
that the anti-kickback assembly is functioning.
Assembling the Rip Fence (Fig. H)
The rip fence can be installed in two positions on the right (position 1 for 0" to 20" ripping, and
position 2 for 4" to 24" ripping) and one position on the left of your table saw.
1. Align the locator pins
34
on the fence rails with the slots
2. Place fence onto the rail as shown in Figure H maintaining pin and slot alignment on both
ends of the fence.
3. Secure the rip fence by snapping down the latches
and rear latches in place.

.
2. Set the blade at 0° bevel and move the fence in until it touches the blade.
3. Lock the rail lock lever.
4. Loosen the rip scale indicator screws

Retighten the rip scale indicator screws. The yellow rip scale (top) reads correctly only when
the fence is mounted on the right side of the blade and is in position 1 (for 0 to 20" ripping)
[not the 24" rip position]. The white scale (bottom) reads correctly only when the fence is
mounted on the right side of the blade and in position 2 (for 4" to 24" ripping).
A metric scale is available at an additional cost, refer to Accessories for details.

Anti-Kickback Assembly (Fig. J)
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

Refer to Storage.
2. Locate the anti-kickback mounting slot
3. Align the stem

until it snaps and locks into place.
4. To remove the anti-kickback assembly, depress the stem and pull up and out of the
mounting slot.
With battery removed, operate the blade tilt and height adjustments through the extremes of
travel and ensure the blade guard assembly clears the blade in all operations and that the anti-
kickback assembly is functioning.

Bench Mounting (Fig. A)
NOTE: A portable table saw stand is designed for use with this saw and is available at a local
D
WALT dealer or service center at extra cost.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn unit off and remove the
battery pack before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments
or accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, the saw must be secured to prevent unintended
movement during use.
The table saw must be securely mounted on a stand, workbench or other rigid and stable support
so that the saw does not move while cutting and cannot be overturned by large overhanging
pieces of material. Four mounting holes
9
to be secured to a stand or other means of support.
1. Center the saw on the desired, stable work surface.
2. Drive four 3-1/2" (88.9 mm) long screws through the holes
the screws extend through the frame and securely attach to the supporting work surface.
NOTE: If marring the supporting work surface is a concern, the table saw can be mounted to
scrap wood which can then be clamped onto the desired work surface.
3. Cut a piece of 3/4" (19 mm) plywood to fit beneath the footprint of the saw.
4. Screw the saw to the plywood and clamp the overhang of the plywood to the work surface. If
the screws protrude through the plywood base, set it on two scrap pieces of material of equal
thickness and attach them to the edges of the plywood to hold the saw further off of the
work surface and prevent the screws from marring the surface.
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn unit off and remove the
battery pack before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments
