WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known 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 approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dustexposure.
Residual Risks
The following risks are inherent to the use of saws:
• Injuries caused by touching the rotatingparts.
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 sawblade.
• Risk of injury when changing theblade.
• Risk of squeezing fingers when opening theguards.
• Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when sawing wood, especially oak,
beech andMDF.
The following factors increase the risk of breathing problems:
• No dust extractor connected when sawingwood.
• Insufficient dust extraction caused by uncleaned exhaustfilters.
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 EN60745; therefore no earth wire isrequired.

WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current device with a residual current
rating of 30mA orless.

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 by a specially prepared cord available
through the
DeWALT
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.

power input of this tool (see Technical Data).The minimum conductor size is 1.5 mm
2
; the

Familiarization (Fig. A, B)
Your mitre saw is fully assembled in the carton. Open the box and lift the saw out by the
convenient carrying handle
13
, as shown in FigureB.
Place the saw on a smooth, flat surface such as a workbench or strongtable.
Examine Figure A to become familiar with the saw and its various parts. The section on
adjustments will refer to these terms and you must know what and where the partsare.

CAUTION: Pinch Hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, keep thumb underneath the handle
when pulling the handle down. The lower guard will move up as the handle is pulled
down which could cause pinching.The handle is placed close to the guard for specialcuts.
Press down lightly on the operating handle
2
and loosen the head lock knob
17
. Gently
release the downward pressure and allow the arm to rise to its full height. Use the lock down
pin when carrying the saw from one place to another. Always use the carrying handle
13
to
transport the saw or the hand indentations
9
shown in FigureA.
Bench Mounting (Fig. A)
Mounting holes
3
are provided in all four feet to facilitate bench mounting, as shown in
FigureA. (Two different sized holes are provided to accommodate different sizes of screws.
Use either hole, it is not necessary to use both.) Always mount your saw firmly to prevent
movement. To enhance the tool’s portability, it can be mounted to a piece of 12.7 mm or
thicker plywood which can then be clamped to your work support or moved to other job sites
andreclamped.
NOTE: If you elect to mount your saw to a piece of plywood, make sure that the mounting
screws don’t protrude from the bottom of the wood. The plywood must sit flush on the work
support. When clamping the saw to any work surface, clamp only on the clamping bosses
where the mounting screw holes are located. Clamping at any other point will surely interfere
with the proper operation of thesaw.
