Uncertainty K =
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised
test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary
assessment of exposure.
WARNING: The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the
tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission
may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is
switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure
level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the
tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER TOOLS
When using power tools, always observe the safety regulations applicable in your country to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock and personal injury. Read the following safety instructions before attempting to operate this product.
Keep these instructions in a safe place.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, user must read the instruction manual.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
Double Insulation
Double insulated tools are constructed throughout with two separate layers of electrical insulation or one double
thickness of insulation between you and the tool's electrical system. Tools built with this insulation system are not
intended to be grounded.
NOTE: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when operating this tool. The
insulation system is for added protection against injury resulting from a possible electrical insulation failure within
the tool.
CAUTION: WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS. Repair or replace damaged cords.

Safety Instructions For All Tools

This mitre saw accepts the D WALT worklight and laser attachments.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of eye injury, ALWAYS use eye protection when operating the mitre saw.
• KEEP GUARD IN PLACE and in working order.
• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from spindle before turning tool on. Tools, scrap pieces, and other debris can be
thrown at high speed, causing injury.
• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
• DO NOT USE THE MACHINE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. The use of power tools in damp or wet
locations or in rain can cause shock or electrocution. Keep your work area well-lit to avoid tripping or placing
arms, hands, and fingers in danger.
