Prior To Operation - DeWalt XR Li-Ion DCS571NT Original Instructions Manual

Blades

WARNING: To minimize the risk of eye injury, always
use eye protection. Carbide is a hard but brittle
material. Foreign objects in the workpiece such as wire or
nails can cause tips to crack or break. Only operate saw
when proper saw blade guard is in place. Mount blade
securely in proper rotation before using, and always use a
clean, sharp blade.

WARNING: Do not cut ferrous metals (steel), masonry,
glass, masonry-type planking, cement board or tile with
this saw.
Do not use abrasive wheels or blades. A dull blade will cause
slow inefficient cutting, overload on the saw motor, excessive
splintering, and could increase the possibility of kickback.
If you need assistance regarding blades, please contact your
local service center listed on the back of the manual.
