My saw just arrived today, I opened the box and saw that all I needed to do was install the table however my saw has two things different. 1) the material hold-down isn't on the saw and 2) there is a black metal piece extending up in front of the bottom blade holder that isn't referenced in the manual.
I called Dewalt and they said they would UPS me the holddown to install (is this easy? Do I even want/need it... I see most videos and no one has one installed). Does anyone know what the metal piece is for, an extra support for the table? Should I keep it or should I request an exchange from Amazon? (not that I'm even sure I could get it back into the box correctly).
It's so been one of those days today ::sighs::
Here are photos so you can see, does anything else look wrong?
