Additional Safety Instructions for All Saws
With Riving Knife
a ) Use the appropriate riving knife for the blade being
used. For the riving knife to work, it must be thicker than
the body of the blade but thinner than the tooth set of
theblade.
b ) Adjust the riving knife as described in this instruction
manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning and alignment
can make the riving knife ineffective in preventing
kickback.
c ) For the riving knife to work, it must be engaged in
the workpiece. The riving knife is ineffective in preventing
kickback during short cuts.
d ) 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 Plunge-
Type Saws
• Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearingloss.
• Wear a dust mask. Exposure to dust particles can cause
breathing difficulty and possible injury.
• 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 EN 847-1.
• Never use abrasive cut-off wheels.

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 accidents caused by the uncovered parts of the rotating
cutting disc.
• Risk of injury when changing the disc.
• Risk of dust inhalation from materials that when cut, can be
harmful.
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.
