Electrical Connection

Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate
marking. 120 volts, AC/DC means that your saw will
operate on alternating or direct current. A voltage
decrease of 10 percent or more will cause a loss of power
and overheating. All D WALT tools are factory tested. If
E
this tool does not operate, check the power supply.

Unpacking Your Saw

Check the contents of your miter saw carton to make sure
that you have received all parts. In addition to this
instruction manual, the carton should contain:
1. One No. DW705 miter saw.
2. One No. 340285-01 32 tooth D
blade
3. One blade wrench in wrench pocket shown in Fig. 2.

Familiarization

Your miter saw is fully assembled (except for the blade) in
the carton. Open the box and lift the saw out by the
convenient carrying handle, as shown in Figure 1.
Place the saw on a smooth, flat surface such as a
workbench or strong table.
Examine Figures 2 & 3 to become familiar with the saw
and its various parts. The following section on adjustments
will refer to these terms and you must know what and
where the parts are.
Press down lightly on the operating handle and pull out the
lock down pin, as shown in Figure 4. Gently release the
downward pressure and allow the arm to rise to its full
height. Use the lock down pin when carrying the saw from
one place to another. Always use the carrying handle to
transport the saw or the hand indentations shown in Fig. 3.
