Refer to Saw Blades under Optional Accessories to select the blade that
best fits yourneeds.
Ensure the machine is placed to satisfy your ergonomic conditions in terms
of table height and stability. The machine site shall be chosen so that the
operator has a good overview and enough free surrounding space around
the machine that allows handling of the workpiece without anyrestrictions.
To reduce effects of vibration make sure the environment temperature is
not too cold, the machine and accessories are well maintained and the
workpiece size is suitable for thismachine.
Proper Body and Hand Position (Fig. O1, O2)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS use
proper hand position as shown in FigureO1.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS hold
securely in anticipation of a suddenreaction.
• Never place hands near cutting area. Place hands no closer than
100 mm from theblade.
• Hold the workpiece tightly to the table and the fence when cutting.
Keep hands in position until the trigger has been released and the blade
has completelystopped.
• ALWAYS MAKE DRY RUNS (UNPOWERED) BEFORE FINISH CUTS SO THAT
YOU CAN CHECK THE PATH OF THE BLADE. DO NOT CROSS HANDS, AS
SHOWN IN FIGUREO2.
• Keep both feet firmly on the floor and maintain proper balance. As you
move the mitre arm left and right, follow it and stand slightly to the side

24
. The saw will run while the switch is depressed. Allow the
blade to spin up to full operating speed before making the cut. To turn the
saw off, release the switch. Allow the blade to stop before raising the saw
head. There is no provision for locking the switch on. A hole
26
is provided
in the trigger for insertion of a padlock to lock the switchoff.
Your saw is equipped with an automatic electric blade brake, but the saw

Assembling the Base Extensionssection.
• Do not attempt to cut excessively smallpieces.
• Allow the blade to cut freely. Do notforce.
• Allow the motor to reach full speed beforecutting.
• Make sure all locking knobs and clamp handles aretight.
• Secure theworkpiece.
• Although this saw will cut wood and many nonferrous materials, these
operating instructions refer to the cutting of wood only. The same
guidelines apply to the other materials. Do not cut ferrous (iron and
steel) materials, fibre cement or masonry with this saw!
• Make sure to use the kerf plate. Do not operate the machine if the kerf
slot is wider than 12mm.
• Connect saw to an external dustextractor.
Always be sure the blade has stopped before removing it from thekerf.
Dust Extraction (Fig.A2, D, AA)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn
tool off and disconnect battery pack before making any
adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories.
An accidental start-up can causeinjury.

WARNING: Certain dust, such as oak or beech dust, is considered
carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatmentadditives.
• Always use dustextraction.
• Provide for good ventilation of the workspace.
• It is recommended to wear an appropriaterespirator.

CAUTION: Never operate this saw unless the dust bag or
DeWALT
dust extractor is in place. Wood dust may create a
breathinghazard.

CAUTION: Check and clean the dust bag each time afterusing.

WARNING: When sawing aluminium, remove the dust bag, or
disconnect the dust extractor to avoid the risk offire.
Your mitre saw has a built-in dust port
36
that allows connection to either
the dust bag
40
, 33mm nozzles or direct attachment to the
DeWALT
AirLock(DWV9000-XJ).
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the materials to
beworked.
To Attach the Dust Bag (Fig. D)
1. Fit the dust bag
40
to the dust port
36
as shown in FigureD.
To Empty the Dust Bag (Fig. D)
1. Remove dust bag
40
from the saw and gently shake or tap the dust
bag toempty.
2. Reattach the dust bag back onto the dust port
36
.
You may notice that all the dust will not come free from the bag. This will
not affect cutting performance but will reduce the saw's dust collection
efficiency. To restore your saw's dust collection efficiency, depress the
spring inside the dust bag when you are emptying it and tap it on the side
of the trash can or dustreceptacle.
External Dust Extraction (Fig. AA)
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental to health or
carcinogenic, use a special dust Class M vacuumcleaner.
Connecting to an AirLock Compatable Dust Extractor (Fig.AA)
The dust port
36
on your mitre saw is compatable with the D
e
WALT
AirLock connection system. The AirLock allows for a fast, secure connection
between the dust extractor hose
67
and the mitresaw.
1. Ensure the collar on the AirLock connector
65
is in the unlock position.
Align notches
66
on collar and AirLock connector as shown for unlock
and lockpositions.
2. Push the AirLock connector onto the dust port
36
.
3. Rotate the collar to the lockedposition.
NOTE: The ball bearings inside collar lock into slot and secure
the connection.The mitre saw is now securely connected to the
dustextractor.
Wireless Tool Connect™ Compatible
This mitre saw has a built in wireless connection which can operate with a
Wireless Tool Connect™ dust extractor. Once the saw and the Wireless Tool
Connect™ compatible dust extractor are paired, the dust extractor will be
controlled by the trigger switch on the mitresaw.
Use of XPS™ LED Worklight System (Fig. A1, A2)
NOTE: The mitre saw must have the battery packinserted.
The XPS™ LED Worklight System is equipped with a temporary on
switch
27
and can be activated manually. The XPS™ LED Worklight System
also turns on when the trigger is activated and the blade isrunning.
