DeWalt DCS361 Manual De Instrucciones página 5

• TIGHTEN ALL CLAMP HANDLES, knobs and levers prior to operation. Loose clamps
can cause parts or the workpiece to be thrown at high speeds.
• BE SURE all blade and blade clamps are clean, recessed sides of blade clamps are
against blade and arbor screw is tightened securely. Loose or improper blade clamping
may result in damage to the saw and possible personal injury.
• DO NOT OPERATE ON ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE DESIGNATED VOLTAGE for
the saw. Overheating, damage to the tool and personal injury may occur.
• DO NOT WEDGE ANYTHING AGAINST THE FAN to hold the motor shaft. Damage to
tool and possible personal injury may occur.
• NEVER CUT METALS or masonry. Either of these can cause the carbide tips to fly off the
blade at high speeds causing serious injury.
• NEVER HAVE ANY PART OF YOUR BODY IN LINE WITH THE PATH OF THE SAW
BLADE. Personal injury will occur.
• NEVER APPLY BLADE LUBRICANT TO A RUNNING BLADE. Applying lubricant
could cause your hand to move into the blade resulting in serious injury.
• DO NOT place either hand in the blade area when the saw is connected to the power
source. Inadvertent blade activation may result in serious injury.
• NEVER REACH AROUND OR BEHIND THE SAW BLADE. A blade can cause serious
injury.
• DO NOT REACH UNDERNEATH THE SAW unless it is unplugged and turned off.
Contact with saw blade may cause personal injury.
• SECURE THE MACHINE TO A STABLE SUPPORTING SURFACE. Vibration can
possibly cause the machine to slide, walk, or tip over, causing serious injury.
• USE ONLY CROSSCUT SAW BLADES recommended for miter saws. For best results,
do not use carbide tipped blades with hook angles in excess of 7 degrees. Do not use
blades with deep gullets. These can deflect and contact the guard, and can cause damage
to the machine and/or serious injury.
• USE ONLY BLADES OF THE CORRECT SIZE AND TYPE specified for this tool to
prevent damage to the machine and/or serious injury.
• INSPECT BLADE FOR CRACKS or other damage prior to operation. A cracked or
damaged blade can come apart and pieces can be thrown at high speeds, causing
serious injury. Replace cracked or damaged blades immediately.
• CLEAN THE BLADE AND BLADE CLAMPS prior to operation. Cleaning the blade
and blade clamps allows you to check for any damage to the blade or blade clamps. A
cracked or damaged blade or blade clamp can come apart and pieces can be thrown at
high speeds, causing serious injury.
• DO NOT USE WARPED BLADES. Check to see if the blade runs true and is free from
vibration. A vibrating blade can cause damage to the machine and/or serious injury.
• DO NOT use lubricants or cleaners (particularly spray or aerosol) in the vicinity of the
plastic guard. The polycarbonate material used in the guard is subject to attack by certain
chemicals.
• KEEP GUARD IN PLACE and in working order.
• ALWAYS USE THE KERF PLATE AND REPLACE THIS PLATE WHEN DAMAGED.
Small chip accumulation under the saw may interfere with the saw blade or may cause
instability of workpiece when cutting.
• USE ONLY BLADE CLAMPS SPECIFIED FOR THIS TOOL to prevent damage to the
machine and/or serious injury.
• CLEAN THE MOTOR AIR SLOTS of chips and sawdust. Clogged motor air slots can
cause the machine to overheat, damaging the machine and possibly causing a short which
could cause serious injury.
• NEVER LOCK THE SWITCH IN THE "ON" POSITION. Severe personal injury may
result.
• NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting
tool is unintentionally contacted.
• ADDITIONAL INFORMATION regarding the safe and proper operation of power tools
(i.e., a safety video) is available from the Power Tool Institute, 1300 Sumner Avenue,
Cleveland, OH 44115-2851 (www.powertoolinstitute.com). Information is also available
from the National Safety Council, 1121 Spring Lake Drive, Itasca, IL 60143-3201. Please
refer to the American National Standards Institute ANSI 01.1 Safety Requirements for
Woodworking Machines and the U.S. Department of Labor OSHA 1910.213 Regulations.
WARNING: Cutting plastics, sap coated wood, and other materials may cause melted
material to accumulate on the blade tips and the body of the saw blade, increasing the risk of
blade overheating and binding while cutting.
WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing protection that conforms to ANSI
S12.6 (S3.19) during use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this
product may contribute to hearing loss.
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses.
Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY
EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California 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.
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.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse 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.
