USE ONLY BLADES OF THE CORRECT SIZE AND TYPE
specified for this tool to prevent damage to the machine and/or
serious injury (complying with EN847-1).
•
INSPECT BLADE FOR CRACKS or other damage prior to
operation. A cracked or damaged blade can come apart and pieces
can be thrown at high speeds, causing serious injury. Replace
cracked or damaged blades immediately. Observe the maximum
speed marked on the saw blade.
CLEAN THE BLADE AND BLADE CLAMPS prior to operation.
•
Cleaning the blade and blade clamps allows you to check for any
damage to the blade or blade clamps. A cracked or damaged blade
or blade clamp can come apart and pieces can be thrown at high
speeds, causing serious injury.
DO NOT USE WARPED BLADES. Check to see if the blade runs
•
true and is free from vibration. A vibrating blade can cause damage
to the machine and/or serious injury.
•
DO NOT use lubricants or cleaners (particularly spray or aerosol) in
the vicinity of the plastic guard. The polycarbonate material used in
the guard is subject to attack by certain chemicals.
•
KEEP GUARD IN PLACE and in working order.
•
ALWAYS USE THE KERF PLATE AND REPLACE THIS PLATE
WHEN DAMAGED. Small chip accumulation under the saw may
interfere with the saw blade or may cause instability of workpiece
when cutting.
•
USE ONLY BLADE CLAMPS SPECIFIED FOR THIS TOOL to
prevent damage to the machine and/or serious injury.
•
CLEAN THE MOTOR AIR SLOTS of chips and sawdust. Clogged
motor air slots can cause the machine to overheat, damaging the
machine and possibly causing a short which could cause serious
injury.
•
NEVER LOCK THE SWITCH IN THE "ON" POSITION. Severe
personal injury may result.
•
NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is
tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
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: Always wear proper personal hearing
protection. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise
from this product may contribute to hearing loss. Be aware of
the following factors influencing exposure to noise:
• Use saw blades designed to reduce the emitted noise,
• Use only well sharpened saw blades, and
• Use specifically designed noise-reduction saw blades.
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses
are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting
operation is dusty.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust,
which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other
injury.
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.
Markings on Tool
The following pictograms are shown on the tool:

Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important safety
and operating instructions for compatible battery chargers (refer to
Technical Data).
• Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on
charger, battery pack, and product using battery pack.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside
charger. Electric shock may result.
WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current
device with a residual current rating of 30mA or less.
CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge
only D
WALT rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries
e
may burst causing personal injury and damage.
CAUTION: Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
NOTICE: Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged
into the power supply, the exposed charging contacts inside the
charger can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials
of a conductive nature such as, but not limited to, steel wool,
aluminum foil or any buildup of metallic particles should be kept
away from charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from
the power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity.
Unplug charger before attempting to clean.
• Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack
is charged when the air temperature is between 18 ° and 24 °C. DO
