Additional Specific Safety Rules for Cutsaws

WARNING: ALWAYS use approved respiratory protection.
Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust, which
may cause serious injury.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
•
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting
accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
• After switching off, never attempt to stop the saw blade with
your fingers.
• Never put the saw down on a table or work bench unless
switched off. The saw blade will keep running briefly after the
tool has been switched off.
• When using saw blades specially designed for cutting wood
remove all nails and metal objects from the workpiece before
starting work.
• Wherever possible, use clamps and vices to fasten the
workpiece securely.
• Do not attempt to saw extremely small workpieces.
• Do not bend too far forward. Make sure that you always stand
firmly, particularly on scaffolding and ladders.
• Always hold the saw with both hands.
• For cutting curves and pockets, use an adapted saw blade.
• Only use saw blades conforming to the specifications
contained in these operating instructions.
• Only sharp saw blades in perfect working condition should
be used; cracked or bent saw blades should be discarded and
replaced at once.
• Ensure that the saw blade is securely fixed.

WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current
device with a residual current rating of 30mA or less.
Residual Risks
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 personal injury due to flying particles.
• Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot
during operation.
• Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.

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 EN60745; 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
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: 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.
