Electrical Connection
Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate marking. 120 volts, AC means that your 
saw will operate on alternating current. The switch is susceptible to failure if direct current is 
used. A voltage decrease of 10 percent or more will cause a loss of power and overheating. 
All D
EWALT tools are factory tested. If this tool does not operate, check the power supply.

Optional Accessories (Fig. 1)
The following accessories, designed for your saw, may be helpful. In some cases, other locally 
obtained work supports, length stops, clamps, etc., may be more appropriate. Use care in 
selecting and using accessories.
Extension Work Support: DW7080
    Used to support long overhanging workpieces, the work support is user assembled. Your 
saw base is designed to accept two work supports, one on each side.
Adjustable Length Stop: DW7051
    Requires the use of one Extension Work Support (DW7080) (refer to Figure 1). It is used 
to make repetitive cuts of the same length from 0 to 42" (107cm).
Clamp: DW7082 (similar model included)
    Used for firmly clamping workpiece to the saw table for precision cutting.
•  PROPERLY SUPPORT LONG OR WIDE WORKPIECES. Loss of control of the 
workpiece can cause injury.
•  NEVER CROSS ARMS IN FRONT OF BLADE while using tool. Always make a dry run 
(unpowered) before making a finish cut so that you can check the path of the blade or 
severe personal injury may result.
•  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION regarding the safe and proper operation of power tools 
(i.e., a safety video) is available from the Power Tool Institute, 1300 Sumner Avenue, 
Cleveland, OH 44115-2851 (www.powertoolinstitute.com). Information is also available 
from the National Safety Council, 1121 Spring Lake Drive, Itasca, IL 60143-3201. Please 
refer to the American National Standards Institute ANSI 01.1 Safety Requirements for 
Woodworking Machines and the U.S. Department of Labor OSHA 1910.213 Regulations.
WARNING: Do not connect unit to electrical power source until complete instructions are 
read and understood.
WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing protection that conforms to ANSI 
S12.6 (S3.19) during use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this 
product may contribute to hearing loss.
WARNING:  NEVER MAKE ANY CUT UNLESS THE MATERIAL IS SECURED ON THE 
TABLE AND AGAINST THE FENCE.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other 
construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, 
birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
•  lead from lead-based paints,
•  crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and 
•  arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. 
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with 
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out 
microscopic particles.
•  Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, 
and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed 
areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on 
the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, which may cause serious 
and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory 
protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.
For your convenience and safety, the following warning labels are on your miter saw.
