DeWalt DW744 Saw User Manual


 
passes rather than attempting to make it with one pass.
Maximum dado width on this saw is 13/16" (20mm). DO
NOT USE WIDER COMBINATIONS.
CAUTION: Always check dado blade clearance before
plugging in the saw.
Be sure to place the guard and standard throat plate back in
position and check adjustments when the dado cuts are
complete.
Dust Collection
Your table saw is equipped with a dust shroud and dust col-
lection port. For best results, connect a vacuum to the port
at the rear of the saw.
If the saw is operated without a vacuum attached, most of
the dust will be blown out the dust collection port. However,
some dust will fall inside the base. If the saw is used on a
table or other surface without an opening on the bottom,
clean out the base and accumulated saw dust after each
cut.
After extended use, the saw’s dust collection system may
become clogged. To clear the dust collection system:
a) Unplug the saw.
b) Turn the saw on its side, so the bottom, open part of the
unit is accessible.
c) Open the dust access door shown in Figure 24 by
removing the two hair pin cotters shown. Clean out the
excess dust, and re-secure the access door with the hair
pin cotters.
When cutting wet wood without a vacuum or when cutting
with a dado blade, removing the dust access door may be
helpful in preventing clogs.
Lubrication
1. All motor bearings are permanently lubricated at the fac-
tory and no additional lubrication is needed.
2. The height adjustment screw may require periodic
cleaning and lubrication. If you have difficulty raising or
lowering the blade:
a) Unplug the saw.
b) Turn the saw on its side, so the bottom, open part of
the unit is accessible.
c) Clean and lubricate the height adjustment screws
threads on the underside of your saw with general
purpose grease, shown in Figure 25.
