and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A
guard or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorized service centre
unless otherwise indicated in this instruction manual.
Have defective switches replaced by an authorized
service centre. Do not use the tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Never attempt any repairs yourself.

WARNING: The use of any accessory or attachment or
performance of any operation with this tool other than
those recommended in this instruction manual may
present a risk of personal injury.
21 . Have your tool repaired by a qualified person.
ʵ This electric tool complies relevant safety rules. Repairs
should only be carried out by qualified persons using
original spare parts; otherwise this may result in
considerable danger to the user.
Additional Safety for Metal Saws
• Do not use saw blades which are damaged or deformed;
• Use only saw blades recommended by the manufacturer
which conform to EN 847-1;
• Do not use saw blades manufactured from high speed steel;
• Wear suitable personal protective equipment when necessary,
this could include:
ʵ hearing protection to reduce the risk of induced hearing
loss;
ʵ eye protection;
ʵ respiratory protection to reduce the risk of inhalation of
harmful dust;
ʵ gloves for handling saw blades (saw blades shall be
carried in a holder wherever practicable) and rough
material;

Maintenance and Servicing

• Operator's instructions on factors influencing exposure to
noise (e.g. use of saw blades designed to reduce the emitted
noise, saw blade and machine maintenance);
• Report faults in the machine, including guards or saw blades,
as soon as they are discovered.

Safe Operation

• Select the correct saw blade for the material to be cut;
• Do not use the saw to cut other materials than those
recommended by the manufacturer;
• Lifting and transportation information. To lift and support the
metal saw see Figure F.
• Do not use the saw without the guards in position, in good
working order and properly maintained;
• Keep the floor area around the machine level, well maintained
and free of loose materials e.g. chips and cut-offs;
• Provide adequate general or localised lighting;
• The operator is adequately trained in the use adjustment and
operation of the machine;
• Use correctly sharpened saw blades. Observe the maximum
speed marked on the saw blade;
• Ensure that any spacers and spindle rings used are suitable for
the purpose as stated by the manufacturer;
• Refrain from removing any cut-offs or other parts of the
workpiece from the cutting area while the machine is running
and the saw head is not in the rest position;
• Ensure that the machine is always stable and secure. (e.g. fixed
to a bench)
• To support long pieces see Figure C3.

WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current
device with a residual current rating of 30mA or less.

Residual Risks

The following risks are inherent to the use of saws:
• Injuries caused by touching the rotating parts
• Injuries caused by disruption of the cutting blade.
These risks are most evident:
• Withing the range of operation
• Within the range of the rotating machine parts
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 accidents caused by the uncovered parts of the rotating
saw blade.
• Risk of injury when changing the blade.
• Risk of squeezing fingers when opening the guards.

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 EN61029; 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.
