Batteries And Chargers - DeWalt DCS690 Instruction Manual

• Never touch the rotating wheel with any part of
your body.
• When transporting the machine always make sure
the lock-off button is in the locked position.
Remove the cutting wheel after use. The cutting wheel
•
may suffer damage during transport.
• Never use a cutting wheel that is damaged, is untrue
or vibrates.
• Never use your cut-off machine while standing on a
ladder or scaffolding.
• Never cut above your shoulder height.
• Do not cut wood or any material from which the
cutting wheel is not rated.
• Use the wet cut method when using a diamond
blade whenever possible. The water can act as a
lubricant and reduce the risk reactive forces.
• Use caution when reentering a cut. Do not push the
cutting wheel into the cut at an angle as this can increase
the risk on binding.
Always be alert of anything that could cause the
•
workpiece to close at the cut and pinch the cutting
wheel. Always support the workpiece in a manner that
results in the cut remaining open. Never make a cut that
could result in binding of the cutting wheel.

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the State
of California 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
NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles
away from face and body.

WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing
protection that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)
during use. Under some conditions and duration
of use, noise from this product may contribute to
hearing loss.

CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side
on a stable surface where it will not cause a
tripping or falling hazard. Some tools with large
battery packs will stand upright on the battery pack
but may be easily knocked over.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
