operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many

accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with

sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with

these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work

to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those

intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5) SERVICE

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only

identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool

is maintained.

Electrical Safety

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

the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate. 220–240 V AC

means your tool will operate on alternating current. Operation at a voltage outside this

range can cause loss of power and can result in overheating. All DEWALT tools are

factory tested; if this tool does not operate, check the power supply. Your DEWALT

tool is double insulated, therefore no earth wire is required.

• Young children and the infirm. This appliance is not intended for use by young

children or infirm persons without supervision.

– This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with

reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and

knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning

use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

– Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• Replacement of the supply cord. If the supply cord or plug is damaged, it must

be replaced by the manufacturer or an authorised DEWALT Service Centre in

order to avoid a hazard.

Extension Cords

CAUTION: Use only extension cords that are approved by the country’s Electrical

Authority. Before using extension cords, inspect them for loose or exposed wires,

damaged insulation and defective fittings. Replace the cord if necessary.

Safety Instructions for All Saws

a) DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep your

second hand on auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both hands are holding

the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.

b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the

blade below the workpiece.

c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. Less than a full

tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the workpiece.

d) Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure the

workpiece to a stable platform. It is important to support the work properly to

minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.

e) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation

where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact

with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and

shock the operator.

f) When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the

accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.

g) Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of

arbor holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run

eccentrically, causing loss of control.

h) Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt. The blade washers and

bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety

of operation.

Further Safety Instructions for All Saws

CAUSES AND OPERATOR PREVENTION OF KICKBACK:

– Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade,

causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the

operator;

– When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade

stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator;

– If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge

of the blade can dig into the top surface of the wood causing the blade to climb

out of the kerf and jump back toward the operator.
