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.

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.

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.

e
WALT 20V Max* product, it will operate as a 20V Max*
battery. When the FLEXVOLT™ battery is in a 60V Max* or a
120V Max* (two 60V Max* batteries) product, it will operate
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

Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Chargers
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all
instructions for the battery pack, charger and
power tool. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/
or seriousinjury.
DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with
any chargers other than the ones in this manual.
The charger and battery pack are specifically designed to
worktogether.
These chargers are not intended for any uses other
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.

Hot/Cold Pack Delay*
* 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
9
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
12
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.
Riving knife thickness

A combination blade is furnished with your saw and is an
excellent blade for all general ripping and crosscutting
operations. Use a fine-tooth blade for cuttingplywood.
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
to
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.

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

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.
Consignes additionnelles de sécurité
propres à toutes les scies
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.

pour coupe en plongée
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.
