Operation Manual

• Remove the plug at the rear end of the bellows (119). Hold the bellows
to avoid spilling the oil.
• Refill the bellows completely with hydraulic oil Castrol 210 NRL25 or
equivalent using a funnel or an oil syringe.
• Replace the filler plug and tighten it one turn.
• Slightly press the bellows until some oil escapes from the filler plug.
• Tighten the filler plug with a wrench and reinstall the unit.
Maintenance
Your DEWALT 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.
• Replace the fixed table top and fence when worn.
Adjusting the roller head bearings arm tracks (fig. A1 & U1 - U6)
If lateral movement is occurring in the roller head assembly, the bearings
need adjustment:
• Pull the yoke assembly forward to the end of the arm tracks and lock it
in position with the rip lock (15) (fig. A1).
• Remove the rip scale pointer (76) on the right of the yoke assembly by
removing the cross-head screws (fig. U1).
• Loosen the locking screws (121) (fig. U2 & U3) and release the rip lock
(15).
• Using an Allen key, slightly rotate the bearings (122) until lateral
movement has been neutralized (fig. U4).
• Retighten the locking screws (121) and replace the rip scale pointer (76).
Lubrication
Your radial arm saw requires no additional lubrication.
Never grease the arm tracks or bearings.
Cleaning
• Regularly clean the armtracks. Remove the end-cap and the yoke to
do so. Also remove dust from the bearings.
• Keep the table top clean at all times. Never use your hands to wipe off
the dust.
Unwanted tools and the environment
Take your tool to an authorized DEWALT repair agent where it will be
disposed of in an environmentally safe way.

Mounting the router bracket
• Remove the blade guard assembly and the blade.
• Position the router bracket (103) over the end of the arbor as shown in
figure Q1 and secure it with the wing nut (63).
• Replace the guide rods of the parallel fence of your router by the
support bars (104) supplied with the attachment:
- Use the small diameter bars for DW609/DW613/DW615 (fig. Q2)
- Use the large diameter bars for DW620/DW621/DW624/DW625/
DW629 (fig. Q3).
• Tighten the locking screws (105) (fig. Q4).
Always make sure your router is properly centred on the bars
and secured in the bracket.
Routing
The router can be set to the required angle and pulled across the workpiece
using the handle (2) (fig. Q5) or guided along the stationary cutter (fig. Q6).
• Check that the router bracket is mounted rigidly.
• If required, fit the outer flange (43) in figure G1 on the arbor and clamp
the router bracket against the motor using the arbor nut (41) in figure G1.
Do not overtighten the arbor nut.
Always feed the workpiece against the rotating cutter.
Also refer to the instruction manual of your power tool.
Mitre fences (fig. S1 & S2)
Mitre fences (108) are available to extend and speed up the angle cutting
facility (fig. S1).
• Replace the standard fence by the mitre fences (108).
• Guide the saw blade between the two fence sections (fig. S2).
Traverse control (fig. T1 - T7)
The traverse control (109) guarantees optimum results in applications
where a consistent, even feed rate is important.
Mounting the traverse control
• Remove the return spring (87) in figure K.
• Remove the yoke travel stop (14) in figure A1.
• Mount the rear flat bracket (110) and the yoke travel stop as shown in
figure T2.
• Loosen the grub screw (111) in the knurled knob (112) using an Allen
key and unscrew the knurled knob (fig. T3).
• Loosen the grub screw (113) in the rear support (114) and pull the
support off the rod.
• Pass the cylinder (115) through the cylinder clamp (116) (fig. S4).
• Position the cylinder clamp (116) over the riplock (15) and tighten the
grub screws in each side of the mounting (117) (fig. T5).
• Reassemble the rear support (114) and the knurled knob (112)
and tighten screws (111 & 113) (fig. T6).
• Position the rear support (114) as shown and tighten the grub screw
(118).
• Push the roller head to the rear and position the cylinder in its clamp
(116) as far to the rear as possible. The end of the rod should not touch
the bleed bolt in the rubber bellows, when the bellows (119)
are compressed. Check the position by pressing the bleed bolt (fig. T1).
• Tighten the screw (120) in the cylinder clamp (116) (fig. T7).
• Set the traverse speed using the knurled knob (108) (fig. S1).
Bleeding the traverse control
After refilling or replacing the oil in the traverse control, the air must be
expelled from the system.
• Remove the unit from the machine and with the piston fully extended
and turned downwards, clamp the unit in a vertical position.
