Safety instructions

When using stationary power tools, always observe the safety

regulations applicable in your country to reduce the risk of fire,

electric shock and personal injury. Read all of this manual carefully

before operating the tool. Save this manual for future reference.

General

1 Keep work area clean

Cluttered areas and benches can cause accidents.

2 Consider work area environment

Do not expose the tool to rain. Do not use the tool in damp or wet

conditions. Keep the work area well lit (250 - 300 Lux). Do not use the

tool where there is a risk of causing fire or explosion, e.g. in the

presence of flammable liquids and gases.

3 Keep children away

Do not allow children, visitors or animals to come near the work area or

to touch the tool or the mains cable.

4 Dress properly

Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, as these can be caught in

moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to keep long hair out of the

way. When working outdoors, preferably wear suitable gloves and non-

slip footwear.

5 Personal protection

Always use safety glasses. Use a face or dust mask whenever the

operations may produce dust or flying particles. If these particles might

be considerably hot, also wear a heat-resistant apron. Wear ear

protection whenever the sound level seems uncomfortable, i.e. if the

sound pressure stated in this manual exceeds 85 dB(A).

6 Guard against electric shock

Prevent body contact with earthed or surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiators,

cookers and refrigerators). When using the tool under extreme

conditions (e.g. high humidity, when metal swarf is being produced,

etc.), electric safety can be improved by inserting an isolating

transformer or a (FI) earth-leakage circuit-breaker.

7 Do not overreach

Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

8 Stay alert

Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate the

tool when you are tired.

9 Secure workpiece

Use clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece. It is safer and it frees both

hands to operate the tool.

10 Connect dust extraction equipment

If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and

collection facilities, ensure that these are connected and properly used.

11 Remove adjusting keys and wrenches

Always check that adjusting keys and wrenches are removed from the

tool before operating the tool.

12 Extension cables

Before use, inspect the extension cable and replace if damaged.

When using the tool outdoors, only use extension cables intended for

outdoor use and marked accordingly.

13 Use appropriate tool

The intended use is described in this instruction manual. Do not force

small tools or attachments to do the job of a heavy-duty tool. The tool

will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.

Do not force the tool.

Warning! The use of any accessory or attachment or performance of

any operation with this tool other than those recommended in this

instruction manual may present a risk of personal injury.

14 Check for damaged parts

Before use, carefully check the tool and mains cable for damage.

Check for misalignment and seizure of moving parts, breakage of

parts, damage to guards and switches and any other conditions that

may affect its operation.

Ensure that the tool will operate properly and perform its intended

function. Do not use the tool if any part is damaged or defective.

Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Have any

damaged or defective parts replaced by an authorised DEWALT repair

agent. Never attempt any repairs yourself.

15 Unplug tool

Switch off and wait for the tool to come to a complete standstill before

leaving it unattended. Unplug the tool when not in use, before changing

any parts of the tools, accessories or attachments and before

servicing.

16 Avoid unintentional starting

Be sure that the tool is switched off before plugging in.

17 Do not abuse cord

Never pull the cord to disconnect from the socket. Keep the cord away

from heat, oil and sharp edges.

18 Store idle tools

When not in use, tools must be stored in a dry place and locked up

securely, out of reach of children.

19 Maintain tools with care

Keep the tools in good condition and clean for better and safer

performance. Follow the instructions for maintenance and changing

accessories. Keep all handles and switches dry, clean and free from oil

and grease.

20 Repairs

This tool is in accordance with the relevant safety regulations. Have

your tool repaired by an authorised DEWALT repair agent. Repairs

should only be carried out by qualified persons using original spare

parts; otherwise this may result in considerable danger to the user.

Additional safety rules for mitre saws

21 Guard actuation

The blade guard on your saw will automatically raise when the arm is

brought down; it will lower over the blade when the arm is raised.

The guard can be raised by hand when installing or removing saw

blades or for inspection of the saw. Never raise the blade guard

manually unless the saw is switched off.

22 Flying debris

The front section of the guard is louvred for visibility while cutting.

Although the louvres dramatically reduce flying debris, there are

openings in the guard and safety glasses should be worn at all times

when viewing through the louvres.

23 Saw blades

Make sure that the blade rotates in the correct direction. Keep the

blade sharp. Do not use blades of larger or smaller diameter than

recommended. For the proper blade rating refer to the technical data.

24 Blade guards

Never operate the saw without the guards in place.

25 Mind your hands

Keep your hands out of the path of the saw blade. Never place them in

the blade area when the saw is connected to the electrical power source.

26 Stopping the motor

Raise the blade from the kerf in the workpiece prior to releasing the

switch. Never attempt to stop the machine in motion by jamming a tool

or similar against the blade. Do not wedge anything against the fan to

hold the motor shaft.

27 Maintenance of the blade and the arbor collars

Make sure that the blade and the arbor collars are clean on the

surfaces of contact and use the supplied wrench to tighten.

Environmental temperature

Only use the machine at ambient temperatures from 5 °C to 40 °C.

Electrical safety

The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only. Always check

that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
