General Safety Instructions
WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite acci-
dents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adaptor plugs. Check with a qualified
electician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools
should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to
carry electricity away from the user. Applicable only to Class I (grounded) tools
• Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other.) This plug will fit in a 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 a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation
eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply
system. Applicable only to Class II (double insulated) tools.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
• Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an
outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged
cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A”
or “W.” These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury,
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing , and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be
caught in moving parts. Air vents often cover moving parts and should also be avoided.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that
is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

2. Insert blade shank from the front.
3. Push blade clamp release lever down.
To remove blade from saw:
1. Open blade clamp release lever.
2. Remove blade.
Cutting with Blade in Horizontal Position DW304P Only
(Fig. 4A)
Installing a blade in the horizontal orientation allows cutting close to floors, walls or ceilings
where limited clearance is available. Ensure that the Blade Guard is pressed against the framing
to avoid kickback.
Flush-To Cutting (Fig. 5)
The compact design of the saw motor housing and spindle housing permits extremely close cutting to floors, corners and other difficult areas.
tered, DO NOT TOUCH ANY FRONT METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL! Hold the tool only by the
plastic handle and housing to prevent electric shock if you saw into a “live” wire.
Wood Cutting (Fig. 6)
Before cutting any type of wood, be sure it is firmly anchored or clamped to prevent slipping.
Place blade lightly against work to be cut, switch on saw motor and allow it to obtain maximum
speed before applying pressure. Always hold saw firmly with both hands while cutting. Whenever
possible, the saw shoe must be held firmly against the material being cut. This will prevent the
saw from jumping or vibrating and minimize blade breakage.

Metal Cutting (Fig. 7)
This unit has different metal cutting capacities depending upon type of blade used and the metal
to be cut. Use a finer blade for ferrous metals and a coarse blade for non-ferrous materials. In
thin gauge sheet metals it is best to clamp wood to both sides of sheet. This will insure a clean
cut without excess vibration or tearing of metal. Always remember not to force cutting blade as
this reduces blade life and causes costly blade breakage.
NOTE: It is generally recommended that when cutting metals you should spread a thin film of oil
or other coolant along the line ahead of the saw cut for easier operation and longer blade life.
Pocket Cutting (Fig. 8) (Wood Only)
The initial step in pocket cutting is to measure the surface area to be cut and mark clearly with
a pencil, chalk or scriber. Insert pocket cutting blade in blade clamp and tighten blade clamp
securely. Next, tip the saw backward until the back edge of the shoe is resting on the work
surface. Now switch motor on, always permitting blade to attain maximum speed. Grip handle
steadily and begin a slow, deliberate upward swing with the handle of the saw. Blade will begin
to feed into material. Always be sure blade is completely through material before continuing with
pocket cut.
NOTE: In areas where blade visibilty is limited, use the edge of the saw shoe as a guide. Lines
for any given cut should be extended beyond edge of cut to be made.
MAINTENANCE
Lubrication
Your tool was properly lubricated before leaving the factory. In from two to six months, depending upon use, take or send your tool to a Service Center, or authorized service station, for a
complete cleaning, inspection and lubrication. Tools used constantly on production jobs will
need relubrication more often. Also, tools “out of service” for long periods should be relubricated
before being put back to work.
Accessories
Recommended accessories for use with your tool are available at extra cost from your local
service center.
CAUTION: The use of any non-recommended accessory may be hazardous.

Importantes mesures de sécurité
AVERTISSEMENT! Lire et comprendre toutes les directives. Le
non-respect de toutes les directives suivantes présente des risques de
secousses électriques, d’incendie ou de blessures graves.
CONSERVER CES MESURES
ZONE DE TRAVAIL
• S’assurer que la zone de travail est propre et bien éclairée. Des établis encombrés et des
endroits sombres présentent des risques d’accidents.
• Ne pas utiliser des outils électriques en présence de vapeurs explosives (comme
celles dégagées par des liquides, des gaz ou des poussières inflammables). Les étincelles générées par le moteur des outils électriques peuvent enflammer les poussières ou les
vapeurs.
• Éloigner les curieux, les enfants et les visiteurs de la zone de travail lorsqu’on utilise
un outil électrique. Une distraction peut entraîner la perte de maîtrise de l’outil.
MESURES DE SÉCURITÉ RELATIVES À L’ÉLECTRICITÉ
• Les outils mis à la terre doivent être branchés dans une prise bien installée et mise à la
terre conformément à tous les codes et règlements en vigueur. Ne jamais retirer la bro-
che de terre ni modifier la fiche. Ne pas utiliser d’adaptateur pour fiche. Vérifier auprès d’un
électricien certifié en cas de doute quant à la mise à la terre de la prise. En cas de défaillance
électrique ou de bris de l’outil, la mise à la terre procure un chemin de faible résistance au
courant qui autrement traverserait l’utilisateur. Valable seulement pour les outils de classe
I (mis à la terre).
• Les outils à double isolation comportent une fiche polarisée (une lame plus large que
l’autre). La fiche n’entre que d’une façon dans une prise polarisée. Lorsque la fiche
n’entre pas à fond dans la prise, essayer de nouveau après avoir inversé les broches de la
fiche. Si la fiche n’entre toujours pas dans la prise, communiquer avec un électricien certifié
afin de faire installer une prise polarisée. Ne modifier en aucune façon la fiche. La double
isolation élimine le besoin d’un cordon trifilaire mis à la terre et d’un système d’alimentation
mis à la terre. Valable seulement pour les outils de classe II (à double isolation).
• Éviter de toucher à des surfaces mises à la terre comme des tuyaux, des radiateurs,
des cuisinières et des réfrigérateurs. Les risques de secousses électriques sont plus
élevés si le corps de l’utilisateur est mis à la terre.
• Protéger les outils électriques de la pluie ou des conditions mouillées. Une infiltration
d’eau dans l’outil augmente les risques de secousses électriques.
• Manipuler le cordon avec soin. Ne jamais se servir du cordon afin de transporter l’outil ni
tirer sur le cordon pour débrancher l’outil. Éloigner le cordon des sources de chaleur, des
flaques d’huile, des arêtes tranchantes et des pièces mobiles. Remplacer immédiatement
les cordons endommagés. Les cordons endommagés augmentent les risques de secousses électriques.
• Lorsqu’on utilise un outil électrique à l’extérieur, se servir d’un cordon de rallonge
prévu pour l’extérieur, portant la mention «W-A» ou «W». Ces cordons sont conçus pour
servir à l’extérieur et minimisent les risques de secousses électriques.

SÉCURITÉ PERSONNELLE
• Demeurer vigilant, prendre soin et faire preuve de jugement lorsqu’on utilise un outil
électrique. Ne pas s’en servir lorsqu’on est fatigué ou affaibli par des drogues, de l’alcool ou
des médicaments. De graves blessures peuvent résulter d’un moment d’inattention lors de
l’utilisation d’un outil électrique.
