WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated timber (CCA).
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water.
Allowing dust to get
into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING:
Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust, which may cause serious and permanent
respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust
exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.
For your convenience and safety, the following warning labels are on your miter saw.

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. 230 V AC means your tool will operate on alternating current. As little as 10%
lower voltage can cause loss of power and can result in overheating. All D
E
WALT tools are factory tested; if this
tool does not operate, check the power supply. Your D
E
WALT tool is double insulated, therefore no earth wire is
required.
