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.

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 tool is double insulated in accordance with EN 61029;
therefore no earth wire is required.
In case of cord replacement the tool must only be repaired by an
authorized service agent or by qualified electrician.
Mains Plug Replacement
(U.K. & Ireland only)
• Should your mains plug need replacing and you are competent to
do this, proceed as instructed below. If you are in doubt, contact
an authorized D WALT repair agent or a qualified electrician.
E
• Disconnect the plug from the supply.
• Cut off the plug and dispose of it safely; a plug with bared copper
conductors is dangerous if engaged in a live socket outlet.
• Only fit 13 Amperes BS1363A approved plugs fitted with the
correctly rated fuse (1).
• The cable wire colours, or a letter, will be marked at the connection
points of most good quality plugs. Attach the wires to their
respective points in the plug (see below). Brown is for Live (L) (2)
and Blue is for Neutral (N) (4).
• Before replacing the top cover of the mains plug ensure that the
cable restraint (3) is holding the outer sheath of the cable firmly and
that the two leads are correctly fixed at the terminal screws.

For 115 V units with a power rating exceeding 1500 W, we recommend
tofit a plug to BS4343 standard.
