Refrain from removing any cut-offs or other parts of the workpiece from
the cutting area while the machine is running and the saw head is not in
the rest position
Never cut workpieces shorter than 150 mm.
Without additional support the machine is designed to accept the
maximum workpiece size of:
ʵ Height 60 mm by width 216 mm by length 500 mm
ʵ Longer workpieces need to be supported by suitable additional table,
e.g. DE7023. Always clamp the workpiece safely.
In case of an accident or machine failure, immediately turn the machine
off and disconnect machine from the power source.
Report the failure and mark the machine in suitable form to prevent other
people from using the defective machine.
When the saw blade is blocked due to abnormal feed force during cutting,
turn the machine off and disconnect it from power supply. Remove the
workpiece and ensure that the saw blade runs free. Turn the machine on
and start new cutting operation with reduced feed force.
Never cut light alloy, especially magnesium.
Whenever the situation allows, mount the machine to a bench using bolts
with a diameter of 8 mm and 80 mm in length.

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 unprotected saw 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 increases 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 battery pack voltage corresponds to the voltage on the rating
plate. Also make sure that the voltage of your charger corresponds to that
of your mains.
Your D
WALT charger is double insulated in accordance with
e
EN60335; therefore no earth wire is required.

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 D
WALT 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: 3 A.
Using an Extension Cable
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use an
approved extension cable suitable for the power input of your charger (see
Technical Data). The minimum conductor size is 1 mm
length is 30 m.
When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable completely.

D
WALT chargers require no adjustment and are designed to be as easy as

possible to operate.
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 may burst
e
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
DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers
other than the ones in this manual. The charger and battery pack are
specifically designed to work together.
These chargers are not intended for any uses other than charging
D
WALT rechargeable batteries. Any other uses may result in risk of fire,
e
electric shock or electrocution.
Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger. This will
reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord.
Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be stepped on,
tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely necessary.
Use of improper extension cord could result in risk of fire,electric shock,
or electrocution.
Do not place any object on top of charger or place the charger on
a soft surface that might block the ventilation slots and result in
excessive internal heat. Place the charger in a position away from any
heat source. The charger is ventilated through slots in the top and the
bottom of the housing.
Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug—have them
replaced immediately.
Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been
dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to an authorised
service centre.
Do not disassemble charger; take it to an authorised service centre
when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a
risk of electric shock, electrocution or fire.
