Residual Risks; Electrical Safety - DeWalt DWE7485 Original Instructions Manual

English
• Be sure all blade and flanges are clean and the larger face
of the clamp washer is against the blade. Tighten the arbor
nut securely.
• Make sure that the riving knife is adjusted to the correct
distance from the blade - maximum 8 mm.
• Never operate the saw without the upper and lower guards
in place.
• Do not apply lubricants to the blade when it is running.
• Always keep the push stick in its store place when not in use.
• Do not use the guard for handling or transportation.
• Do not exert side pressure on the saw blade.
• Never cut light alloy. The machine is not designed for
this application.
• Do not use abrasive disc or diamond cutting wheels.
• Rabbeting, slotting or grooving is not allowed.
• In case of machine failure, immediately switch the machine
off and remove from the power source. Report the failure and
mark the machine in suitable form which prevents that other
persons use the defective machine.
• When the saw blade is blocked due to abnormal feed force
during cutting, ALWAYS switch the machine off and remove
from the power source. Remove the workpiece and ensure that
the saw blade runs free. Turn the machine on and start a new
cutting operation with reduced feed force.
• NEVER attempt to cut a stack of loose pieces of material
which could cause loss of control or kickback. Support all
materials securely.
• Take care that the blade guard is properly positioned. When
sawing, it must always face against the workpiece.
Saw Blades
• Do not use saw blades that do not conform to the dimensions
stated in the Technical Data. Do not use any spacers to make
a blade fit onto the spindle. Use only the blades specified in this
manual, complying with EN847-1, if intended for wood and
similar materials.
• The maximunm speed of the saw blade shall always be
greater than or at least equal to the speed marked on the
rating plate of the tool.
• The saw blade diameter must be in accordance with the
markings on rating plate of the tool.
• Consider applying specially designed noise-reduction blades.
• Do not use high steel (HS) saw blades.
• Do not use cracked or damaged saw blades.
• Ensure that the chosen saw blade is suitable for the material
to be cut.
• Always wear gloves for handling saw blades and rough
material. Saw blades should be carried in a holder
wherever practicable.

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:
10
• Impairment of hearing.
• Risk of accidents caused by the uncovered parts of the rotating
saw blade.
• Risk of injury when changing the saw blade with
unprotected hands.
• 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 are of influence to noise production:
• the material to be cut
• the type of saw blade
• the feed force
• machine maintenance
The following factors are of influence to dust exposure:
• worn saw blade
• dust extractor with air velocity less than 20 m/s
• workpiece not exactly guided

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 D WALT tool is double insulated in accordance
e
with EN62841; therefore no earth wire is required.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced only by
D WALT or an authorised service organisation.

WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current
device with a residual current rating of 30mA or less.
nOTE: This device is intended for the connection to a power
supply system with maximum permissible system impedance
Zmax of 0.25 Ω at the interface point (power service box)
of user's supply. The user has to ensure that this device is
connected only to a power system which fulfills the requirement
above. If necessary, the user can ask the public power supply
company for the system impedance at the interface point.
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.
Using an Extension Cable
If an extension cable is required, use an approved 3–core
extension cable suitable for the power input of this tool (see
Technical Data).The minimum conductor size is 1.5 mm
maximum length is 30 m.
When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable completely.
