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.
Plug the saw into any household 50 Hz power source. Refer to the
nameplate for voltage. Be sure the cord will not interfere with yourwork.

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N2.

Always be sure the blade has stopped before removing it from thekerf.
Dust Extraction (Fig.A2, C, Z)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn
tool off and disconnect tool from power source 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
34
that allows connection to either
the dust bag
38
, 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. C)
1. Fit the dust bag
38
to the dust port
34
as shown in FigureC.
To Empty the Dust Bag (Fig. C)
1. Remove dust bag
38
from the saw and gently shake or tap the dust
bag toempty.
2. Reattach the dust bag back onto the dust port
34
.
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. Z)
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.Z)
The dust port
34
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
64
and the mitresaw.
1. Ensure the collar on the AirLock connector
62
is in the unlock position.
Align notches
63
on collar and AirLock connector as shown for unlock
and lockpositions.
2. Push the AirLock connector onto the dust port
34
.
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.
Use of XPS™ LED Worklight System (Fig. A1, A2)
NOTE: The mitre saw must be connected to a powersource.
The XPS™ LED Worklight System is equipped with an on/off switch
25
.
The XPS™ LED Worklight System is independent of the mitre saw’s trigger
switch. The light does not need to be on in order to operate thesaw.
To cut through an existing pencil line on a piece of wood:
1. Turn on the XPS™ system, then pull down on the operating handle
2
to bring the saw blade close to the wood. The shadow of the blade will
appear on thewood.
• Install the table extensions to both sides of the saw's base. Refer to
Assembling the Table 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 external an dustextractor.
