not engaged into the material. If saw blade binds, it
may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw
is restarted.
d ) Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade
pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag
under their own weight. Supports must be placed under
the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the
edge of the panel.
e ) Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened
or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing
excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
f ) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must
be tight and secure before making the cut. If blade
adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding
and kickback.
g ) Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls or
other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects
that can cause kickback.
Lower Guard Function
a ) Check the lower guard for proper closing before each
use. Do not operate the saw if the lower guard does
not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or
tie the lower guard into the open position. If saw is
accidentally dropped, the lower guard may be bent. Raise
the lower guard with the retracting handle and make sure
it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other
part, in all angles and depths of cut.
b ) Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the
guard and the spring are not operating properly,
they must be serviced before use. Lower guard may
operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy
deposits, or a build-up of debris.
c ) The lower guard may be retracted manually only for
special cuts such as "plunge cuts" and "compound
cuts." Raise the lower guard by retracting the handle
and as soon as blade enters the material, the lower
guard must be released. For all other sawing, the lower
guard should operate automatically.
d ) Always observe that the lower guard is covering the
blade before placing saw down on bench or floor.
An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk
backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the
time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released.
Additional Safety Instructions for
Circular Saws
• Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
Wear a dust mask. Exposure to dust particles can cause
•
breathing difficulty and possible injury.
• Do not use blades of larger or smaller diameter than
recommended. For the proper blade rating refer to the
technical Data. Use only the blades specified in this manual,
complying with EN 847-1.
28
• Use only saw blades that are marked with a speed equal
or higher than the speed marked on the tool.
• Avoid overheating of blade tips.
• Install the dust extraction port onto the saw before use.
• Never use abrasive cut‑off wheels.
• Do not use water feed attachments.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the
work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
Residual Risks

WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current
device with a residual current rating of 30mA or less.
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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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. i
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.
e
nOtE: This device is intended for the connection to a power
supply system with maximum permissible system impedance
Zmax of 0.214 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 fulfils 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 t o 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
