IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

_ ARNING: When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should

Double Insulation

Double insulated tools are constructed throughout with two separate layers of electrical insulation or one double thickness of insulation between you and the tool's electrical system.

Tools built with this insulation system are not intended to be grounded. As a result, your tool is

equipped with a two prong plug which permits you to use extension cords without concern for maintaining a ground connection.

NOTE: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when operating

this tool. The insulation system is for added protection against injury resulting from a possible

electrical insulation failure within the tool. Z&CAUTION: WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS. Repair or

replace damaged cords.

Polarized Plugs

Polarized plugs (one blade is wider than the other) are used on equipment to reduce the risk of electric shock. When provided, this plug will fit in the polarized outlet only one way. If the plug

does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician

to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

Safety Instructions For All Tools

This miter saw accepts the DEWALT worklight and laser attachments. A WARNING: To reduce the risk of eye injury, ALWAYS use eye protection when operating

the miter saw.

• KEEP GUARD IN PLACE and in working order.

• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from spindle before turning tool on. Tools, scrap pieces, and other debris can be thrown at high speed, causing injury.

• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

• DO NOT USE THE MACHINE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. The use of power tools in damp or wet locations or in rain can cause shock or electrocution. Keep your work area

well-lit to avoid tripping or placing arms, hands, and fingers in danger.

• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept at a safe distance from work area. Your shop is a potentially dangerous environment.

• MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys. The unauthorized start-up of a machine by a child or visitor may result in injury.

• DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and be safer at the rate for which it was designed.

• USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force tool or attachment to do ajob for which it was not designed.

Using the incorrect tool or attachment may result in personal injury.

• WEAR PROPER APPAREL. No loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other

jewelry to get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective

hair covering to contain long hair. Air vents may cover moving parts and should also be avoided.

Definitions: Safety Guidelines

always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

• 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 $12.6 ($3.19) hearing protection

• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection

• SECURE THE WORKPIECE. Use clamps or a vise to hold the workpiece on the table

and against the fence or when your hand will be dangerously close to the blade within 6"

(152 mm). It is safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tooL

• DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Loss of balance may

cause personal injury.

• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Poorly maintained tools and

machines can further damage the tool or machine and/or cause injury.

• TURN THE MACHINE "OFF'; AND DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER

SOURCE before installing or removing accessories, before adjusting or changing set-ups,

when making repairs or changing locations. An accidental start-up can cause injury. Do not touch the plug's metal prongs when unplugging or plugging in the cord.

• REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure that the switch is in the "OFF" position before plugging in the power cord.

• USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition, ff

your product is equipped with a cordset, use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate

ampere rating, ff in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

• CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is

damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function--check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced. Do not use tool if switch does

not turn it on and off.

• USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Use only accessories that are recommended

by the manufacturer for your model Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may be hazardous when used on another tool Consult the instruction manual for recommended

accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.

• NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool

is unintentionally contacted.

• NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don't leave tool until

it comes to a complete stop. Serious injury can result.

• DO NOT OPERATE ELECTRIC TOOLS NEAR FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR IN GASEOUS OR EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES. Motors in these tools may spark and ignite fumes.

• STAY ALERT, WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING, AND USE COMMON SENSE. DO NOT USE THE MACHINE WHEN YOU ARE TIRED OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS

or ALCOHOL. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in injury.

Additional Safety Rules For Miter Saws

_WARNING: Do not allow familiarity (gained from frequent use of your saw) to replace safety rules. Always remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.

• DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE until it is completely assembled and installed according to the instructions. A machine incorrectly assembled can cause serious injury.

• OBTAIN ADVICE from your supervisor, instructor, or another qualified person if you are not thoroughly familiar with the operation of this machine. Knowledge is safety.

• STABILITY. Make sure the miter saw is placed on a secure supporting surface and does not

slip or move during use. ff the mobility kit is installed, raise the moveable caster(s) so saw is in its stationary position.

• FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES and recommended electrical connections to prevent shock

or electrocution. Protect electric supply line with at least a 15 ampere time-delay fuse or a circuit breaker."

• MAKE CERTAIN the blade rotates in the correct direction. The teeth on the blade should

point in the direction of rotation as marked on the saw.

• 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.

• ALWAYS USE A SHARP BLADE. Check the blade to see if it runs true and is free from vibration. A dull or a vibrating blade can cause damage to the machine and/or serious

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.

• DO NOT force cutting action. Stalling or partial stalling of motor can cause damage. To the

machine or blade and/or serious injury.

• ALLOW THE MOTOR TO COME TO FULL SPEED prior to starting cut. Starting the cut too

soon may cause damage to the machine or blade and/or serious injury."

• NEVER CUT FERROUS METALS (Those with any iron or steel content) or masonry. Either

of these can cause the carbide tips to fly off the blade at high speeds causing serious injury.

• DO NOT USE ABRASIVE WHEELS. The excessive heat and abrasive particles generated

by them may damage the saw and cause personal 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 NOTplace either hand in the blade area when the saw is connected to the power source. Inadvertent blade activation may result in serious injury.

• DO NOT PERFORM FREE-HAND OPERATIONS (workpiece not supported by table and fence). Hold the work firmly against the fence and table. Free-hand operations on a miter saw

could cause the workpiece to be thrown at high speeds, causing 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 OFTHE 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.
