FUEL GAUGE BATTERY PACKS (FIG. 1)
Some DeWALT battery packs include a fuel gauge
which consists of three green LED lights that
indicate the level of charge remaining in the battery
pack.
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel
gauge button (T). A combination of the three green
LED lights will illuminate designating the level of
charge left. When the level of charge in the battery
is below the usable limit, the fuel gauge will not
illuminate and the battery will need to be recharged.
NOTE: The fuel gauge is only an indication of the
charge left on the battery pack. It does not indicate
tool functionality and is subject to variation based
on product components, temperature and end-user
application.

rotation arrow on the saw). Do not assume that
the printing on the blade will always be facing
you when properly installed. When retracting
the lower blade guard to install the blade, check
the condition and operation of the lower blade
guard to assure that it is working properly.
Make sure it moves freely and does not touch
the blade or any other part, in all angles and
depths of cut.
3. Place outer clamp washer (V) on saw spindle
with the beveled edge facing out. Make sure
the 30 mm diameter on the blade side of the
clamp fits into the 30 mm hole in the saw blade
to ensure centering of the blade.

Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one
voltage only. Always check that the battery pack
voltage corresponds to the voltage on the rating
plate. Also make sure that the voltage of your
charger corresponds to that of your mains.
Your DeWALT charger is double insulated
in accordance with IEC60335; therefore
no earth wire is required.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by a specially prepared cord available through the
DeWALT service organisation.
Using an Extension Cable
An extension cord should not be used unless
absolutely necessary. Use an approved extension
cable suitable for the power input of your charger
(see Technical Data). The minimum conductor size
is 1 mm
2
; the maximum length is 30 m.
When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable
completely.
