DeWalt DWS535 Instruction Manual page 7

* Always be sure aft components are mounted properly and
securely before using tool.
* Always handle the saw blade with care when mounting or
removing # or when removing the diamond knockout.
* Always wait until the motor has reached furl speed before starting
a cut.
* Always keep handles dry, clean and free of oil and grease. Hold
the tool firmly with both hands when in use.
Always be alert at all times, especially during repetitive,
monotonous operations. Always be sure of position of your hands
relative to the blade.
Stay clear of end pieces that may fall after cutting off. They may
be hot, sharp and/or heavy, Serious personal injury may result.
Replace or repair damaged cords. Make sure your extension cord
is in good condition. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have
3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept
the tool's plug.
* An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG
or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge
number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is
16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. When using more than one extension to make up the
total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least
the minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct size
to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating.
If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord.
