A WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber (CCA).
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated area, and work
with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.

Avoid
prolonged
contact
with
dust
from power
sanding,
sawing,
grinding,
drilling,
and other
construction
activities.
Wear protective
clothing
and wash
exposed
areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or
lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
A WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust, which may cause serious
and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory
protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.

Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate marking. 120 volts, AC means that
your saw will operate on alternating current only. A voltage decrease of 10 percent or more
will cause a loss of power and overheating. All DEWALT tools are factory tested. If this tool
does not operate, check the power supply.
