RIPPING (FIG. A2, N)
1. Set the blade to the vertical position.
2. Ensure the fixed lower guard (18) is in fixed position.
3. Set the depth of cut by sliding the table (14) up or down. The correct
position is to have the tips of three teeth above the top surface of the
wood.
4. Set the rip fence (17) as required in order to support as much of the
workpiece as possible. At least the rear end of the fence should be level
with the front of the riving knife.
5. Set the rip fence for the width of cut required by using the scale let into
the front of the table.
6. Switch on the machine.
7. Slowly feed the workpiece underneath the front of the upper blade
guard, keeping it firmly pressed against the rip fence.
8. Remember to always use the push stick (58) (fig. N).
9. After completing the cut, switch off the machine.
Quality of Cut
The smoothness of any cut depends on a number of variables, e.g. the
material being cut. When smoothest cuts are desired for moulding and other
precision work, a sharp (60 tooth carbide) blade and a slower, even cutting
rate will produce the desired results.
WARNING: Ensure that the material does not creep while
cutting; clamp it securely in place. Always let the blade come to

out at the rear of the workpiece, stick a piece of masking tape
on the wood where the cut will be made. Saw through the tape
and carefully remove tape when finished.
MAINTENANCE
Your DeWA LT power tool has been designed to operate over a long period
of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation
depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning.
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. An accidental start-up can cause
injury.
Lubrication
This machine requires no additional lubrication. The bearings of the motor
are pre-lubricated and watertight.

periodically with a dry brush.
Cleaning
WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of the main housing with dry
air as often as dirt is seen collecting in and around the air vents.
Wear approved eye protection and approved dust mask when
performing this procedure.
WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for
cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals
may weaken the materials used in these parts. Use a cloth
dampened only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid
get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a
liquid.

SAWING SHORT WORKPIECES (FIG. A3, A4)
It is advisable to use the length stop for short workpieces (27) both for batch
sawing and for short individual workpieces of different lengths. The length
stop can only be used in conjunction with a pair of optional guide rails (21).
SAWING LONG WORKPIECES (FIG. A3)
WARNING: Always support long workpieces.
Figure A3 shows the ideal configuration for sawing long workpieces when
the saw is used free-standing (all items available as an option). These items
(except the legstand and the material clamp) are required both on the infeed
and the outfeed side:
20 Table end plate for support the rails; also when working on an existing
bench.
21 Guide rails (500 or 1,000 mm).
22 Material support plates.
23 Material clamp.
24 Swivelling stop.
25 Stands to support the guide rails. The height of the stands is adjustable.
WARNING: Do not use the stands to support the machine!
26 Legstand (supplied with mounting instructions).
Procedure
1. Place your saw on the legstand and fit the guide rails.
2. Firmly screw the material support plates (22) to the guide rails (21). The
material clamp (23) now functions as a length stop.
3. Install the table end plates (20).
4. Install the swivelling stop (24) to the rear rail.
5. Use the swivelling stop (24) to adjust the length of medium and long
workpieces. It can be adjusted sideways or swung out of the way when
not in use.
USING THE ROLLER TABLE (FIG. A3, A5)
The roller table (29) makes the handling of large and long pieces of wood
very easy (fig. A5). It can be connected either to the left or to the right of the
machine. The roller table requires the use of the optional legstand (fig. A3).
WARNING: Assemble the roller table following the instructions
supplied with the legstand.
