and alignment can make the riving knife ineffective in
preventingkickback.
c ) Always use the riving knife except when plunge
cutting. Riving knife must be replaced after plunge
cutting. Riving knife causes interference during plunge
cutting and can createkickback.
d ) For the riving knife to work, it must be engaged in
the workpiece. The riving knife is ineffective in preventing
kickback during shortcuts.
e ) Do not operate the saw if riving knife is bent. Even a
light interference can slow the closing rate of aguard.
Additional Safety Instructions for
CircularSaws
• Do not operate the machine without guards in position, or if
guards do not function or are not maintainedproperly.
• Select the correct blade for the material to becut.
• Wear a dustmask.
• Do not use blades of larger or smaller diameter than
recommended. For the proper blade rating refer to the
technical data. Use only the blades specified in this manual,
complying with EN847-1.
• Never use abrasive cut-offwheels.
• When sawing plastic, melting of the material is to beavoided.
• Please use only saw blades that are marked with a speed equal
or higher than the speed marked on thetool.

WARNING: Cutting plastics, sap coated wood, and other
materials may cause melted material to accumulate on
the blade tips and the body of the saw blade, increasing
the risk of blade overheating and binding whilecutting.

WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current
device with a residual current rating of 30mA orless.
Residual Risks
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks
cannot be avoided. These are:
• Impairment ofhearing.
• Risk of personal injury due to flyingparticles.
• Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot
duringoperation.
• Risk of personal injury due to prolongeduse.
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.
Your DeWALT tool is double insulated in accordance
with EN62841; therefore no earth wire isrequired.

WARNING: 115 V units have to be operated via a fail-safe
isolating transformer with an earth screen between the
primary and secondary winding.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced only by
DeWALT or an authorised serviceorganisation.
Mains Plug Replacement
(U.K. & Ireland Only)
If a new mains plug needs to be fitted:
• Safely dispose of the oldplug.
• Connect the brown lead to the live terminal in theplug.
• Connect the blue lead to the neutralterminal.

WARNING: No connection is to be made to the
earthterminal.
Follow the fitting instructions supplied with good quality plugs.
Recommended fuse: 13A.
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 1.5 mm
2
; the maximum length
is30m.
When using a cable reel, always unwind the cablecompletely.
