c)  

Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from 

the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, 

or storing power tools. 

Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of 

starting the power tool accidentally.

d)  

Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow 

persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the 

power tool. 

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e) 

 Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, 

breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s 

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 D

E

WALT tools are 

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

WALT 

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

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.
