b ) Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the workpiece by hand or against your body leaves it
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
Plugging into the mains, switching ON and
OFF
• Always ensure that the alligator saw is switched OFF before
plugging into the mains.
• After switching OFF, never attempt to stop the saw blades with
your fingers.
• Never put the saw down on a table or work bench unless
switched OFF. The saw blades will keep running up to
10 seconds after the machine has been switched OFF.
When sawing
• Remove all nails and metal objects from the workpiece before
starting work.
• Wherever possible, use clamps and vices to fasten the
workpiece securely.
• Do not attempt to saw extremely small workpieces.
• Do not bend too far forward. Make sure that you always stand
firmly, particularly on scaffolding and ladders.
• Always hold the saw with both hands.
• Do not use the saw for cutting curves and pockets.
Checking and changing the saw blades
• Unplug the tool before cleaning or changing the saw blades.
• Only use D WALT saw blades conforming to the specifications
e
contained in these operating instructions.
• Only sharp saw blades in perfect working condition should
be used; cracked or bent saw blades should be discarded and
replaced at once.
• Always use suitable gloves when handling the saw blades and
rough work materials.

WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current
device with a residual current rating of 30mA or less.
Residual Risks
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.
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 EN62841; therefore no earth wire is required.
