GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY

WARNINGS



WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all

instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and

instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or

seriousinjury.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE

REFERENCE

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-

operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)

powertool.

1) Work Area Safety

a ) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark

areas inviteaccidents.

b ) 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.

c ) Keep children and bystanders away while

operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you

to losecontrol.

2) Electrical Safety

a ) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never

modify the plug in any way. Do not use any

adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power

tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will

reduce risk of electricshock.

b ) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded

surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and

refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric

shock if your body is earthed orgrounded.

c ) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase

the risk of electricshock.

d ) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for

carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.

Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or

moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase

the risk of electricshock.

e ) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an

extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of

a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of

electricshock.

f ) If operating a power tool in a damp location

is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit

interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI

reduces the risk of electricshock.

3) Personal Safety

a ) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use

common sense when operating a power tool. Do

not use a power tool while you are tired or under

the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A

moment of inattention while operating power tools

may result in serious personalinjury.

b ) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear

eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust

mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing

protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce

personalinjuries.

c ) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the

switch is in the off position before connecting to

power source and/or battery pack, picking up or

carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your

finger on the switch or energizing power tools that

have the switch on invitesaccidents.

Fig. A2

ENGLISH

d ) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before

turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left

attached to a rotating part of the power tool may

result in personalinjury.

e ) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times. This enables better control of

the power tool in unexpectedsituations.

f ) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves

away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or

long hair can be caught in movingparts.

g ) If devices are provided for the connection of dust

extraction and collection facilities, ensure these

are connected and properly used. Use of dust

collection can reduce dust-relatedhazards.

4) Power Tool Use and Care

a ) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct

power tool for your application. The correct power

tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for

which it wasdesigned.

b ) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not

turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be

controlled with the switch is dangerous and must

berepaired.

c ) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/

or the battery pack from the power tool before

making any adjustments, changing accessories,

or storing power tools. Such preventive safety

measures reduce the risk of starting the power

toolaccidentally.

d ) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children

and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the

power tool or these instructions to operate the

power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands

of untrainedusers.

e ) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or

binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and

any other condition that may affect the power

tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power

tool repaired before use. Many accidents are

caused by poorly maintained powertools.

f ) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are

less likely to bind and are easier tocontrol.

g ) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc.

in accordance with these instructions, taking

into account the working conditions and the

work to be performed. Use of the power tool for

operations different from those intended could result

in a hazardoussituation.

5) Battery Tool Use and Care

a ) Recharge only with the charger specified by the

manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type

of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used

with another batterypack.

b ) Use power tools only with specifically designated

battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may

create a risk of injury andfire.

c ) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away

from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,

keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects,

that can make a connection from one terminal to

another. Shorting the battery terminals together may

cause burns or afire.

d ) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected

from the battery; avoid contact. If contact

accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid

contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.

Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation

orburns.

6) Service

a ) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified

repair person using only identical replacement

parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power

tool ismaintained.

Safety Instructions for All Saws

Cutting Procedures



DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area

and the blade. Keep your second hand on

auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both hands

are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by theblade.

a ) Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The

guard cannot protect you from the blade below

theworkpiece.

b ) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the

workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth

should be visible below theworkpiece.

c ) Never hold piece being cut in your hands or

across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a stable

platform. It is important to support the work properly

to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss

ofcontrol.

d ) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces

when performing an operation where the cutting

tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a

"live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the

power tool "live" and shock theoperator.

e ) When ripping always use a rip fence or straight

edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and

reduces the chance of bladebinding.

f ) Always use blades with correct size and shape

(diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades

that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw

will run eccentrically, causing loss ofcontrol.

g ) Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers

or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were specially

designed for your saw, for optimum performance and

safety ofoperation.

ENGLISH

Further Safety Instructions for All Saws

Kickback Causes and Related Warnings

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or

misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up

and out of the workpiece toward the operator;

• When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf

closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction

drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator;

• If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the

teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the top

surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the

kerf and jump back toward theoperator.

Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating

procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper

precautions as given below:

a ) Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw

and position your arms to resist kickback forces.

Position your body to either side of the blade,

but not in line with the blade. Kickback could cause

the saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces can

be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions

aretaken.

b ) When blade is binding, or when interrupting a

cut for any reason, release the trigger and hold

the saw motionless in the material until the

blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt

to remove the saw from the work or pull the

saw backward while the blade is in motion or

kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective

actions to eliminate the cause of bladebinding.

c ) When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center

the saw blade in the kerf and check that saw

teeth are not engaged into the material. If saw

blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback from the

workpiece as the saw isrestarted.

d ) Support large panels to minimize the risk of

blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend

to sag under their own weight. Supports must be

placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of

cut and near the edge of thepanel.

e ) Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened

or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing

excessive friction, blade binding andkickback.

f ) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers

must be tight and secure before making cut. If

blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause

binding andkickback.

g ) Use extra caution when making a “plunge

cut” into existing walls or other blind areas.

The protruding blade may cut objects that can

causekickback.

Safety Instructions for Plunge-Type Saws

Guard Function

a ) Check guard for proper closing before each use.

Do not operate the saw if guard does not move

freely and enclose the blade instantly. Never

clamp or tie the guard with the blade exposed. If

saw is accidentally dropped, guard may be bent.

Check to make sure that guard moves freely and does

not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles

and depths ofcut.

b ) Check the operation and condition of the guard

return spring. If the guard and the spring are not

operating properly, they must be serviced before

use. Guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged

parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up ofdebris.

c ) Assure that the base plate of the saw will not

shift while performing the “plunge cut” when

the blade bevel setting is not at 90°. Blade shifting

sideways will cause binding and likelykickback.

d ) Always observe that the guard is covering the

blade before placing saw down on bench or

floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause

the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is

in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade

to stop after switch isreleased.

Additional Safety Instructions for All Saws

with Riving Knife

Riving Knife Function

a ) Use the appropriate riving knife for the blade

being used. For the riving knife to work, it must be

thicker than the body of the blade but thinner than

the tooth set of theblade.

b ) Adjust the riving knife as described in this

instruction manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning

and alignment can make the riving knife ineffective in

preventingkickback.

c ) For the riving knife to work, it must be engaged

in the workpiece. The riving knife is ineffective in

preventing kickback during shortcuts.

d ) Do not operate the saw if riving knife is bent.

Even a light interference can slow the closing rate of

aguard.

Additional Safety Instructions for Plunge-

Type Saws

• Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause

hearingloss.

• Wear a dust mask. Exposure to dust particles can cause

breathing difficulty and possibleinjury.

• Do not use blades of larger or smaller diameter

than recommended. For the proper blade rating refer

to the technical data. Use only the blades specified in this

manual, complying with EN62841-1.

• Never use abrasive cut-offwheels.

• Do not wear gloves with fingers or loose fitting gloves

duringuse.

• Overheating the tips can damage the blade and also

increase the risk of binding whilecutting.

as a 60V Max* battery.

Shipping Mode: When

the cap is attached to the

FLEXVOLT™ battery, the

battery is in Shipping Mode.

Strings of cells are electrically

disconnected within the pack resulting in three batteries

with a lower Watt hour (Wh) rating as compared to one

battery with a higher Watt hour rating. This increased

quantity of three batteries with the lower Watt hour rating

can exempt the pack from certain shipping regulations that

are imposed upon the higher Watt hourbatteries.

The battery label indicates two Watt hour ratings (see

example). Depending on how the battery is shipped, the

appropriate Watt hour rating must be used to determine

the applicable shipping requirements. If utilizing the

shipping cap, the pack will be considered 3 batteries at

the Watt hour rating indicated for “Shipping”. If shipping

without the cap or in a tool, the pack will be considered one

battery at the Watt hour rating indicated next to “Use”.

USE: 120 Wh Shipping: 3 x 40 Wh

Example of Use and Shipping Label Marking

For example, Shipping Wh rating might indicate 3 x 40 Wh,

meaning 3 batteries of 40 Watt hours each. The Use Wh

rating might indicate 120 Wh (1 battery implied).

Fuel Gauge Battery Packs (Fig. B)

Some

DeWALT

battery packs include a fuel gauge which

consists of three green LED lights that indicate the level of

charge remaining in the batterypack.

The fuel gauge is an indication of approximate levels of

than charging

DeWALT

rechargeable batteries.

Any other uses may result in risk of fire, electric shock

orelectrocution.

• Do not expose the charger to rain orsnow.

• Pull by the plug rather than the cord when

disconnecting the charger. This will reduce the risk of

damage to the electric plug andcord.

• Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not

be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected

to damage orstress.

• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely

necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in

risk of fire, electric shock orelectrocution.

• When operating a charger outdoors, always provide

a dry location and use an extension cord suitable

for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use

reduces the risk of electricshock.

• An extension cord must have adequate wire size

(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller

the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity

of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18

gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage

resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using

more than one extension to make up the total length,

be sure each individual extension contains at least the

minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct

size to use depending on cord length and nameplate

ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The

lower the gauge number, the heavier thecord.

* DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115, DCB118, DCB132:

The red light will continue to blink, but a yellow indicator

light will be illuminated during this operation. Once the

battery pack has reached an appropriate temperature, the

yellow light will turn off and the charger will resume the

chargingprocedure.

The compatible charger(s) will not charge a faulty battery

pack. The charger will indicate faulty battery pack by

refusing to light or by displaying a problem pack or charger

blinkpattern.

NOTE: This could also mean a problem with acharger.

If the charger indicates a problem, take the charger and

battery pack to be tested at an authorized servicecenter.

Hot/Cold Pack Delay

When the charger detects a battery pack that is too hot

or too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay,

suspending charging until the battery pack has reached an

appropriate temperature. The charger then automatically

switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures

maximum battery packlife.

A cold battery pack will charge at a slower rate than a warm

battery pack. The battery pack will charge at that slower rate

throughout the entire charging cycle and will not return to

maximum charge rate even if the battery packwarms.

The DCB118 charger is equipped with an internal fan

designed to cool the battery pack. The fan will turn on

automatically when the battery pack needs to becooled.

Never operate the charger if the fan does not operate

properly or if ventilation slots are blocked. Do not permit

foreign objects to enter the interior of thecharger.

Electronic Protection System

Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection

System that will protect the battery pack against

overloading, overheating or deepdischarge.

The tool will automatically turn off if the Electronic

Protection System engages. If this occurs, place the lithium-

ion battery pack on the charger until it is fullycharged.

Wall Mounting

DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115, DCB118, DCB132

These chargers are designed to be wall mountable or to

sit upright on a table or work surface. If wall mounting,

locate the charger within reach of an electrical outlet,

and away from a corner or other obstructions which may

impede air flow. Use the back of the charger as a template

for the location of the mounting screws on the wall. Mount

the charger securely using drywall screws (purchased

separately) at least 1" (25.4 mm) long, with a screw head

diameter of 0.28–0.35" (7–9mm), screwed into wood to an

optimal depth leaving approximately 7/32" (5.5 mm) of the

screw exposed. Align the slots on the back of the charger

with the exposed screws and fully engage them in theslots.

Charger Cleaning Instructions



WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect the charger

from the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt and grease

may be removed from the exterior of the charger using

a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do not use water or

any cleaningsolutions.

Important Charging Notes

1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if

the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is

between 65°F and 75°F (18° – 24°C). DO NOT charge

ENGLISH

the battery pack in an air temperature below +40°F

(+4.5°C), or above +104°F (+40°C). This is important

and will prevent serious damage to the batterypack.

2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to the

touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and

does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of

the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or

battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal

shed or an uninsulatedtrailer.

3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:

a. Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp

or other appliance;

b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light

switch which turns power off when you turn out the

lights;

c. Move the charger and battery pack to a location

where the surrounding air temperature is

approximately 65°F – 75°F (18° – 24°C);

d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery

pack and charger to your local servicecenter.

4. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to

produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily

done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these

conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may

also charge a partially used pack whenever you desire

with no adverse effect on the batterypack.

5. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but

not limited to, grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool,

aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic particles

should be kept away from charger cavities. Always

unplug the charger from the power supply when there

is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug the charger

before attempting toclean.

6. Do not freeze or immerse the charger in water or any

otherliquid.

Storage Recommendations

1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away

from direct sunlight and excess heat orcold.

2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully

charged battery pack in a cool dry place out of the

charger for optimalresults.

NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely

depleted of charge. The battery pack will need to be

recharged beforeuse.

Blades



WARNING: To minimize the risk of eye injury, always

wear ANSI Z87.1 approved eye protection. Carbide

is a hard but brittle material. Foreign objects in the

work piece such as wire or nails can cause tips to

crack or break. Only operate saw when proper saw

blade guard is in place. Mount blade securely in

proper rotation before using, and always use a clean,

sharpblade.



WARNING: Do not cut metal, masonry, glass,

masonry-type planking, cement board, tile or plastic

with thissaw.

A dull blade will cause inefficient cutting, overload on the

saw motor, excessive splintering and increase the possibility

ENGLISH

of kickback. Change blades when it is no longer easy to

push the saw through the cut, when the motor is straining,

or when excessive heat is built up in the blade. It is a

good practice to keep extra blades on hand so that sharp

blades are available for immediate use. Dull blades can be

sharpened in most areas; see SAWS-SHARPENING in the

yellow pages. Hardened gum on the blade can be removed

with kerosene, turpentine, or oven cleaner. Anti-stick coated

blades can be used in applications where excessive build-up

is encountered, such as pressure treated and greenlumber.

Blade Selection (Fig. I)



WARNING: To minimize the risk of kickback and

to ensure proper cutting, the blade selected must

be appropriate for the thickness of the riving

knifeprovided.

The blade supplied with this circular saw is the correct size

for the riving knife supplied with thesaw.

If a different blade is used, check the blade body (plate)

thickness and the blade kerf (cutting) width marked on the

blade or on the blade packaging. The riving knife thickness

must be greater than the body thickness and less than the

kerf width as shown in FigureI.

The riving knife provided with this saw is marked with its

thickness; .067" (1.7 mm). This riving knife should only be

used for blades with a 0.07" (1.8 mm) minimum kerf width

and 0.063" (1.6 mm) maximum bodythickness.

Your

DeWALT

track saw is designed for use with 6–1/2"

(165mm) diameter blades that have a 0.79" (20mm)

diameter bore. Blades must be rated for 6000 rpm operation

(or higher). DO NOT use any abrasivewheels.



WARNING: VISUALLY EXAMINE CARBIDE BLADES

BEFORE USE. REPLACE IFDAMAGED.

Guide Rail System (Fig. A1, J)

The guide rails

28

, which are available in different lengths,

allow for precise, clean cuts and simultaneously protect the

workpiece surface againstdamage.

In conjunction with additional accessories, exact angled

cuts, mitre cuts and ﬁtting work can be completed with the

guide railsystem.

Securing the workpiece with clamps ensures a secure hold

and safeworking.

The guide clearance of the track saw must be very small

for best cutting results and can be set with the two rail

adjustment knobs

5

1. Release the screw inside the rail adjustment knobs

5

adjust theclearance.

2. Adjust the knob until saw locks onrail.

3. Rotate knob back until saw slideseasily.

4. Hold the rail adjustment knob in position and lock the

screwagain.

NOTE: ALWAYS readjust the system for use with otherrails.

Anti-Splinter Guard (Fig. J, K)

The guide rail

28

is equipped with an anti-splinter guard

30

, which has to be trimmed before the ﬁrst use.

The anti-splinter guard

30

is situated on each edge of the

guide rail (

28

, Fig. J). The purpose of this anti-splinter guard

is to provide the user with a visible blade cut line while

reducing the chipping that occurs along the workpiece cut

edge duringcutting.

IMPORTANT: ALWAYS read and follow the Guide Rail

System instructions before cutting the splinterguard!

1. Set the speed of the track saw to level7.

2. Place the guide rail

28

on a scrap piece of wood. Use a

clamp to ensure that the guide rail is securely attached

to the workpiece. This will ensureaccuracy.

3. Set the track saw on 13/64” (5 mm) cutdepth.

4. Place the saw on the rear end of the guiderail.

5. Turn the saw on, press it down to the set cutting depth

and cut the anti-splinter guard

30

along the full length

in one continuous operation. The edge of the anti-

splinter guard now corresponds exactly to the cutting

edge of theblade.

To trim the anti-splinter guard on the other side of the

guide rail, remove the saw from the rail and rotate the rail

180°. Repeat steps 1 through 4.

NOTE: If desired, the splinter guard can be bevelled to 45°,

then repeat steps 1 through 4. This allows one side of the

rail for cutting parallel cuts and the other side of the rail is

tuned in for 45° bevel cuts (Fig. K).

NOTE: If the anti-splinter guard is trimmed for parallel

cutting on both sides, then when the unit is bevelled, the

blade will not run true to the edge of the anti-splinter

guard. This is because the pivot point of the unit bevel

is not stationary and the blade moves out when the unit

isbevelled.



WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, ALWAYS

secure the guide rail with aclamp.



AVERTISSEMENT! lire tous les avertissements de

sécurité et toutes les directives. Le non-respect

des avertissements et des directives pourrait se

solder par un choc électrique, un incendie et/ou une

blessuregrave.

CONSERVER TOUS LES

AVERTISSEMENTS ET TOUTES

LES DIRECTIVES POUR UN USAGE

ULTÉRIEUR

Le terme « outil électrique » cité dans les avertissements se

rapporte à votre outil électrique à alimentation sur secteur

(avec fil) ou par piles (sans fil).

1) Sécurité du lieu de travail

a ) Tenir l’aire de travail propre et bien éclairée.

Les lieux encombrés ou sombres sont propices

auxaccidents.

b ) Ne pas faire fonctionner d’outils électriques

dans un milieu déflagrant, tel qu’en présence de

liquides, de gaz ou de poussières inflammables.

Les outils électriques produisent des étincelles qui

pourraient enflammer la poussière ou lesvapeurs.

c ) Éloigner les enfants et les personnes à proximité

pendant l’utilisation d’un outil électrique. Une

distraction pourrait en faire perdre la maîtrise à

l’utilisateur.

2) Sécurité en matière d’électricité

a ) Les fiches des outils électriques doivent

correspondre à la prise. Ne jamais modifier la

fiche d’aucune façon. Ne jamais utiliser de fiche

d’adaptation avec un outil électrique mis à la

terre. Le risque de choc électrique sera réduit par

l’utilisation de fiches non modifiées correspondant à

laprise.

b ) Éviter tout contact physique avec des surfaces

mises à la terre comme des tuyaux, des

radiateurs, des cuisinières et des réfrigérateurs.

Le risque de choc électrique est plus élevé si votre corps

est mis à laterre.

c ) Ne pas exposer les outils électriques à la pluie ou

à l’humidité. La pénétration de l’eau dans un outil

électrique augmente le risque de chocélectrique.

d ) Ne pas utiliser le cordon de façon abusive.

Ne jamais utiliser le cordon pour transporter,

tirer ou débrancher un outil électrique. Tenir le

cordon éloigné de la chaleur, de l’huile, des bords

tranchants et des pièces mobiles. Les cordons

endommagés ou enchevêtrés augmentent les risques

de chocélectrique.

e ) Pour l’utilisation d’un outil électrique à

l’extérieur, se servir d’une rallonge convenant à

cette application. L’utilisation d’une rallonge conçue

pour l’extérieur réduira les risques de chocélectrique.

f ) S’il est impossible d’éviter l’utilisation d’un

outil électrique dans un endroit humide,

brancher l’outil dans une prise ou sur un circuit

d’alimentation dotés d’un disjoncteur de fuite à

la terre (GFCI). L’utilisation de ce type de disjoncteur

réduit les risques de chocélectrique.

3) Sécurité personnelle

a ) Être vigilant, surveiller le travail effectué et faire

preuve de jugement lorsqu’un outil électrique

est utilisé. Ne pas utiliser d’outil électrique en

Fig. A2

FRANÇAIS

cas de fatigue ou sous l’influence de drogues,

d’alcool ou de médicaments. Un simple moment

d’inattention en utilisant un outil électrique peut

entraîner des blessures corporellesgraves.

b ) Utiliser des équipements de protection

individuelle. Toujours porter une protection

oculaire. L’utilisation d’équipements de protection

comme un masque antipoussière, des chaussures

antidérapantes, un casque de sécurité ou des

protecteurs auditifs lorsque la situation le requiert

réduira les risques de blessurescorporelles.

c ) Empêcher les démarrages intempestifs. S’assurer

que l’interrupteur se trouve à la position

d’arrêt avant de relier l’outil à une source

d’alimentation et/ou d’insérer un bloc-piles, de

ramasser ou de transporter l’outil. Transporter

un outil électrique alors que le doigt repose sur

l’interrupteur ou brancher un outil électrique dont

l’interrupteur est à la position de marche risque de

provoquer unaccident.

d ) Retirer toute clé de réglage ou clé avant de

démarrer l’outil. Une clé ou une clé de réglage

attachée à une partie pivotante de l’outil électrique

peut provoquer des blessurescorporelles.

e ) Ne pas trop tendre les bras. Conserver

son équilibre en tout temps. Cela permet

de mieux maîtriser l’outil électrique dans les

situationsimprévues.

f ) S’habiller de manière appropriée. Ne pas porter

de vêtements amples ni de bijoux. Garder les

cheveux, les vêtements et les gants à l’écart des

pièces mobiles. Les vêtements amples, les bijoux ou

les cheveux longs risquent de rester coincés dans les

piècesmobiles.

g ) Si des composants sont fournis pour le

raccordement de dispositifs de dépoussiérage

et de ramassage, s’assurer que ceux-ci sont bien

raccordés et utilisés. L’utilisation d’un dispositif de

dépoussiérage peut réduire les dangers engendrés par

lespoussières.

4) Utilisation et entretien d’un outil

électrique

a ) Ne pas forcer un outil électrique. Utiliser l’outil

électrique approprié à l’application. L’outil

électrique approprié effectuera un meilleur travail,

de façon plus sûre et à la vitesse pour laquelle il a

étéconçu.

b ) Ne pas utiliser un outil électrique dont

l’interrupteur est défectueux. Tout outil électrique

dont l’interrupteur est défectueux est dangereux et

doit êtreréparé.

c ) Débrancher la fiche de la source d’alimentation

et/ou du bloc-piles de l’outil électrique avant de

faire tout réglage ou changement d’accessoire

ou avant de ranger l’outil. Ces mesures préventives

réduisent les risques de démarrage accidentel de

l’outilélectrique.

d ) Ranger les outils électriques hors de la portée

des enfants et ne permettre à aucune personne

n’étant pas familière avec un outil électrique ou

son mode d’emploi d’utiliser cet outil. Les outils

électriques deviennent dangereux entre les mains

d’utilisateursinexpérimentés.

e ) Entretien des outils électriques. Vérifier si les

pièces mobiles sont mal alignées ou coincées,

si des pièces sont brisées ou présentent toute

autre condition susceptible de nuire au bon

fonctionnement de l’outil électrique. En cas de

dommage, faire réparer l’outil électrique avant

toute nouvelle utilisation. Beaucoup d’accidents

sont causés par des outils électriques malentretenus.

f ) S’assurer que les outils de coupe sont aiguisés et

propres. Les outils de coupe bien entretenus et affûtés

sont moins susceptibles de se coincer et sont plus

faciles àmaîtriser.

g ) Utiliser l’outil électrique, les accessoires, les

forets, etc. conformément aux présentes

directives en tenant compte des conditions de

travail et du travail à effectuer. L’utilisation d’un

outil électrique pour toute opération autre que celle

pour laquelle il a été conçu estdangereuse.

5) Utilisation et entretien du bloc-piles

a ) Ne recharger l’outil qu’au moyen du chargeur

précisé par le fabricant. L’utilisation d’un chargeur

qui convient à un type de bloc-piles risque de

provoquer un incendie s’il est utilisé avec un autre type

de b loc-piles.

b ) Utiliser les outils électriques uniquement avec

les blocs-piles conçus à cet effet. L’utilisation de

tout autre bloc-piles risque de causer des blessures ou

unincendie.

c ) Lorsque le bloc-piles n’est pas utilisé, le tenir

éloigné des objets métalliques, notamment

des trombones, de la monnaie, des clés, des

clous, des vis ou autres petits objets métalliques

qui peuvent établir une connexion entre les

deux bornes. Le court-circuit des bornes du bloc-piles

risque de provoquer des brûlures ou unincendie.

d ) En cas d’utilisation abusive, le liquide peut gicler

hors du bloc-piles; éviter tout contact avec ce

liquide. Si un contact accidentel se produit, laver

à grande eau. Si le liquide entre en contact avec

les yeux, obtenir également des soins médicaux.

Le liquide qui gicle hors du bloc-piles peut provoquer

des irritations ou desbrûlures.

6) Réparation

a ) Faire réparer l’outil électrique par un réparateur

professionnel en n’utilisant que des pièces de

rechange identiques. Cela permettra de maintenir

une utilisation sécuritaire de l’outilélectrique.

Procédures de coupe



DANGER : éloigner les mains des zones et

organes de coupe. Maintenir la deuxième main

sur la poignée auxiliaire ou le boîtier du moteur.

Lorsque la scie est maintenue à deux mains, les risques

de se couper avec la lame sontlimités.

a ) Ne pas envoyer les mains sous la pièce à

travailler. Sous la pièce, le dispositif de protection ne

peut vous protéger de lalame.

b ) Ajuster la profondeur de coupe à l’épaisseur de

la pièce à travailler. Un peu moins d’une longueur

de dent de scie devrait être visible sous la pièce

àtravailler.

c ) Ne jamais maintenir la pièce à découper avec les

mains ou les jambes. Arrimer la pièce à travailler

à une plateforme stable. Il est important de

maintenir le projet correctement pour minimiser tout

risque de dommages corporels, de pincement de lame,

ou de perte de contrôle de l’outil.

d ) Tenir l’outil électrique par les surfaces isolées

prévues à cet effet pendant toute utilisation où

l’organe de coupe pourrait entrer en contact

avec des fils électriques cachés. Tout contact avec

un fil sous tension met les parties métalliques exposées

de l’outil sous tension et électrocutera l’utilisateur.

e ) Pour toute coupe longitudinale, utiliser

systématiquement un guide longitudinal ou un

guide de chant. Cela accroitra la précision de coupe

et réduira les risques de grippage delame.

f ) Utiliser systématiquement des lames de taille

adéquate avec un alésage central façonné

(diamant par rapport à arrondi). Toute lame

non conçue pour la ferrure de fixation de la scie

fonctionnera de manière excentrique et provoquera la

perte de contrôle de l’outil.

g ) Ne jamais utiliser de rondelles ou de boulons de

lame endommagés ou inadéquats. Les rondelles

et boulons de lame ont été spécialement conçus

pour cette scie, pour optimiser ses performances et sa

sécurité d’emploi.

Causes des rebonds et avertissements

afférents

Les rebonds sont la conséquence soudaine d’un grippage

ou d’une lame mal alignée qui font que la scie rebondit

brutalement hors de la pièce à travailler vers l’utilisateur.

• Lorsque la lame reste pincée ou bloquée dans le trait de

scie, elle cale et le moteur en réaction provoque un rebond

arrière de l’appareil vers l’utilisateur.

• S’il y a torsion de la lame ou si elle sort de la ligne de

coupe, les dents à l’arrière de la lame pourront se planter

dans la surface du bois et faire que la lame sorte du trait

de scie et rebondisse vers l’utilisateur.

Les rebonds proviennent d’une utilisation inadéquate de

l’outil et/ou d’une procédure ou de conditions d’utilisation

incorrectes, et peuvent être évités en prenant les précautions

appropriées détaillées ci-après:

a ) Maintenir la scie fermement à deux mains et

positionner les bras de façon à pouvoir résister

à toute force de rebonds. Positionner le corps

sur l’un des côtés de la lame, mais jamais dans

son alignement. Les rebonds peuvent faire rebondir

la scie en arrière, mais en prenant les précautions

adéquates, les forces de rebonds peuvent être

contrôlées par l’utilisateur.

b ) Lorsqu’il y a grippage de la lame, ou lorsqu’on

interrompt une coupe pour une raison

quelconque, relâcher la gâchette et maintenir

la scie immobile dans le matériau jusqu’à arrêt

complet de la lame. Pour éviter tout rebond,

ne jamais tenter de retirer la scie de la pièce ou

de la tirer vers l’arrière alors que la lame est en

mouvement. Examiner la pièce à travailler et prendre

les mesures qui s’imposent pour éliminer tout risque

degrippage.

c ) Avant de remettre la scie en marche dans la

pièce à travailler, centrer la lame sur le trait

de scie et vérifier que les dents de scie ne sont

pas engagées dans le matériau. Lorsqu’il y a

grippage de la lame, celle-ci pourrait sauter ou faire

un rebond hors du matériau lorsque la scie sera remise

enmarche.

d ) Supporter les grands panneaux pour minimiser

tout risque de grippage de lame et de rebonds.

Les grands panneaux ont tendance à s’affaisser

sous leur propre poids. Le support peut être installé

d’un côté ou de l’autre, sous le panneau, près de la

ligne de coupe et sous les bords externes dupanneau.

e ) Ne pas utiliser de lames émoussées ou

endommagées. Les lames émoussées ou

incorrectement installées produisent des traits de scie

étroits pouvant causer frictions, grippages etrebonds.

f ) Les leviers de verrouillage de profondeur de

lame et de réglage de biseau doivent être

soigneusement serrés avant toute coupe. Si le

réglage de lame venait à changer en cours de coupe, il

y aurait risques de grippage et derebonds.

g ) Prenez des précautions supplémentaires lors de

«coupes en plongée» dans des murs existants

ou dans toute zone à visibilité limitée. La lame

pourrait rencontrer des objets qui pourraient causer

desrebonds.

Fonction du carter

a ) Vérifier soigneusement la fermeture du carter

avant toute utilisation. Ne pas utiliser la scie si

le carter ne se déplace pas librement et ne se

referme pas instantanément sur la lame. Ne

jamais arrimer ou attacher le carter en laissant

la lame à nu. Le carter pourrait être endommagé

si la scie venait à tomber. Vérifier que le carter se

déplace librement et ne touche pas la lame ou toute

autre partie de la scie, à tout angle et toute profondeur

decoupe.
