GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
 
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications 
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result 
in electric shock, fire and/or seriousinjury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS 
FOR FUTUREREFERENCE
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains‑operated (corded) power tool or 
battery‑operated (cordless) powertool.
1)  Work Area Safety
a )  Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas inviteaccidents.
b )  Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of 
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust 
orfumes.
c )  Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can 
cause you to losecontrol.
2)  Electrical Safety
a )  Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do 
not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs 
and matching outlets will reduce risk of electricshock.
b )  Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, 
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is 
earthed orgrounded.
c )  Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool 
will increase the risk of electricshock.
d )  Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging 
the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. 
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electricshock.
e )  When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for 
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electricshock.
f )  If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual 
current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electricshock.
3)  Personal Safety
a )  Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a 
power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of 
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools 
may result in serious personalinjury.
b )  Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective 
equipment such as a dust mask, non‑skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection 
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personalinjuries.
c )  Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off‑position before 
connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. 
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have 
the switch on invitesaccidents.
d )  Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench 
or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personalinjury.
e )  Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better 
control of the power tool in unexpectedsituations.
f )  Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and 
clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught 
in movingparts.

EC‑Declaration of Conformity

Mitre Saw 
DCS365    
DEWALT declares that these products described under Technical Data are in compliance with:  
2006/42/EC, EN62841‑1:2015/AC:2015; EN62841‑3‑9:2015 + AC:2016 + A11:2017.
These products also comply with Directive 2014/30/EU and 2011/65/EU. For more information, 
please contact DEWALT at the following address or refer to the back of themanual.
The undersigned is responsible for compilation of the technical file and makes this declaration 
on behalf ofDEWALT.
The vibration and/or noise emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in 
accordance with a standardised test given in EN
62841
and may be used to compare one tool 
with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment ofexposure.
 
WARNING: The declared vibration and/or noise emission level represents the main 
applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different 
accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration and/or noise emission may differ. This may 
significantly increase the exposure level over the total workingperiod.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and/or noise should also take into 
account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing 
the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total workingperiod.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration 
and/or noise such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm 
(relevant for vibration), organisation of workpatterns.
