GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS



WARNING: Read all safety warnings,

instructions, illustrations and specifications

provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all

instructions listed below 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.

h ) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use

of tools allow you to become complacent and

ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can

cause severe injury within a fraction of asecond.

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 remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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 and accessories. 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

ENGLISH

work to be performed. Use of the power tool for

operations different from those intended could result

in a hazardoussituation.

h ) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean

and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and

grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and

control of the tool in unexpectedsituations.

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.

e ) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is

damaged or modified. Damaged or modified

batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting

in fire, explosion or risk ofinjury.

f ) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to

fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to

fire or temperature above 265 °F (130°C) may

causeexplosion.

g ) Follow all charging instructions and do not

charge the battery pack or tool outside the

temperature range specified in the instructions.

Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the

specified range may damage the battery and increase

the risk of fire.

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.

b ) Never service damaged battery packs. Service

of battery packs should only be performed by the

manufacturer or authorized serviceproviders.

Safety Instructions for All Saws

a ) 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.

b ) Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The

guard cannot protect you from the blade below

theworkpiece.

c ) 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.

d ) Never hold the workpiece in your hands or across

your leg while cutting. 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.

e ) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces when performing an operation where

the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its

own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will also make

exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could

give the operator an electricshock.

f ) When ripping always use a rip fence or straight

edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and

reduces the chance of bladebinding.

g ) Always use blades with correct size and shape

(diamond versus round) of arbor holes. Blades

that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw

will run off-center, causing loss ofcontrol.

h ) 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

Causes and Operator Prevention of

Kickback:

ʵ Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, jammed or

misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to

lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator;

ʵ When the blade is pinched or jammed tightly by the

kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor

reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the

operator;

ʵ 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.

ENGLISH

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 a saw

blade binds, 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 sawing into existing

walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade

may cut objects that can causekickback.

Lower Guard Function Safety

Instructions

a ) Check lower guard for proper closing before each

use. Do not operate the saw if lower guard does

not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp

or tie the lower guard into the open position.

If saw is accidentally dropped, lower guard may be

bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle

and make sure it moves freely and does not touch

the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths

ofcut.

b ) Check the operation of the lower guard spring.

If the guard and the spring are not operating

properly, they must be serviced before use. Lower

guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts,

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

c ) Lower guard should be retracted manually

only for special cuts such as “plunge cuts”

and “compound cuts.” Raise lower guard by

retracting handle and as soon as blade enters

the material, the lower guard must be released.

For all other sawing, the lower guard should

operateautomatically.

d ) Always observe that the lower 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 Information



WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part

of it. Damage or personal injury couldresult.



WARNING: 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 S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,

• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratoryprotection.



WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,

sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction

activities contains chemicals known to the State

of California to cause cancer, birth defects or

other reproductive harm. Some examples of these

chemicalsare:

• lead from lead-based paints,

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other

masonry products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-

treatedlumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how

often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to

these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with

approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are

specially designed to filter out microscopicparticles.

• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power

sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other

construction activities. Wear protective clothing and

wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing

dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may

promote absorption of harmfulchemicals.



WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/

or disperse dust, which may cause serious and

permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use

NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection

appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles

away from face andbody.



WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing

protection that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)

during use. Under some conditions and duration

of use, noise from this product may contribute to

hearingloss.



CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side

on a stable surface where it will not cause a

tripping or falling hazard. Some tools with large

battery packs will stand upright on the battery pack

but may be easily knockedover.



WARNING: Do not use abrasive wheels orblades.



WARNING: Do not use water feedattachments.

• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and

support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding

the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable

and may lead to loss ofcontrol.

• Keep your body positioned to either side of the

blade, but not in line with the saw blade. KICKBACK

could cause the saw to jump backwards (see Causes and

Operator Prevention of Kickback andKICKBACK).

• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be

avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be

caught in movingparts.

• Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from

lumber beforecutting.

The D

WALT FLEXVOLT™ battery has two modes: Use and

Shipping.

Use Mode: When the FLEXVOLT™ battery stands alone or

is in a D

WALT 20V Max*

product, it will operate as a

20V Max* battery. When the

FLEXVOLT™ battery is in a

ENGLISH

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.

ENGLISH

• 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.

Charging

Fully Charged

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

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.

ENGLISH

NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely

depleted of charge. The battery pack will need to be

recharged beforeuse.

Lower Blade Guard



WARNING: The lower blade guard is a safety

feature which reduces the risk of serious

personal injury. Never use the saw if the lower

blade guard is missing, damaged, misassembled

or not working properly. Do not rely on the

lower blade guard to protect you under all

circumstances. Your safety depends on following

all warnings and precautions as well as proper

operation of the saw. Check lower blade guard

for proper closing before each use as outlined

in Further Safety Instructions for All Saws.

If the lower blade guard is missing or not

working properly, have the saw serviced before

using. To assure product safety and reliability,

repair, maintenance and adjustment should

be performed by an authorized service center

or other qualified service organization, always

using identical replacementparts.

Blades



WARNING: To minimize the risk of eye injury, always

use eye protection. Carbide is a hard but brittle

material. Foreign objects in the workpiece 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 direction before

using, and always use a clean, sharp blade.



WARNING: Do not cut metal, plastic, concrete,

masonry or fiber cement materials with thissaw.

Do not use abrasive wheels or blades. A dull blade will

cause slow inefficient cutting, overload on the saw motor,

excessive splintering, and could increase the possibility of

kickback. Please refer to the table below to determine the

correct size replacement blade for your modelsaw.

WALT (1–800–433–9258).

Kickback

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 more likely to occur when any of the following

conditionsexists.

1. IMPROPER WORKPIECE SUPPORT

a. Sagging or improper lifting of the cut off piece can

cause pinching of the blade and lead tokickback.

b. Cutting through material supported at the outer ends

only can cause kickback. As the material weakens it

sags, closing down the kerf and pinching the blade

(Fig.Q).

c. Cutting off a cantilevered or overhanging piece of

material from the bottom up in a vertical direction

can cause kickback. The falling cut off piece can

pinch theblade.

d. Cutting off long narrow strips (as in ripping) can

cause kickback. The cut off strip can sag or twist

closing the kerf and pinching theblade.

e. Snagging the lower guard on a surface below the

material being cut momentarily reduces operator

control. The saw can lift partially out of the cut

increasing the chance of bladetwist.

2. IMPROPER DEPTH OF CUT SETTING ON SAW

a. To make the most efficient cut, the blade should

protrude only far enough to expose one-half of a

tooth as shown in FigureK. This allows the shoe

to support the blade and minimizes twisting and

ENGLISH

pinching in the material. See the section titled

Cutting DepthAdjustment.

3. BLADE TWISTING (MISALIGNMENT IN CUT)

a. Pushing harder to cut through a knot, a nail or a hard

grain area can cause the blade totwist.

b. Trying to turn the saw in the cut (trying to get back

on the marked line) can cause bladetwist.

c. Overreaching or operating the saw with poor body

control (out of balance), can result in twisting

theblade.

d. Changing hand grip or body position while cutting

can result in bladetwist.

e. Backing up the saw to clear blade can lead totwist.

4. MATERIALS THAT REQUIRE EXTRA ATTENTION

a. Wet lumber

b. Green lumber (material freshly cut or not kiln dried)

c. Pressure treated lumber (material treated with

preservatives or anti-rot chemicals)

5. USE OF DULL OR DIRTY BLADES

a. Dull blades cause increased loading of the saw. To

compensate, an operator will usually push harder

which further loads the unit and promotes twisting

of the blade in the kerf. Worn blades may also have

insufficient body clearance which increases the

chance of binding and increasedloading.

6. LIFTING THE SAW WHEN MAKING A BEVEL CUT

a. Bevel cuts require special operator attention to

proper cutting techniques – especially guidance of

the saw. Both blade angle to the shoe and greater

blade surface in the material increase the chance for

binding and misalignment (twist) tooccur.

7. RESTARTING A CUT WITH THE BLADE TEETH

JAMMED AGAINST THE MATERIAL

a. The saw should be brought up to full operating

speed before starting a cut or restarting a cut after

the unit has been stopped with the blade in the kerf.

Failure to do so can cause stalling andkickback.

Any other conditions which could result in pinching,

binding, twisting, or misalignment of the blade could cause

kickback. Refer to the sections Further Safety Instructions

for All Saws and Blades for procedures and techniques that

will minimize the occurrence ofkickback.

Cutting Depth Adjustment (Fig.A,J,K)

NOTE: The maximum depth of cut for this saw is 2-9/16"

(65mm) at 90°.

1. Hold the saw firmly and loosen (clockwise) the depth

adjustment lever

4

and move shoe (

5

, Fig.A) to obtain

the desired depth ofcut.

2. Make sure the depth adjustment lever has been

retightened (counterclockwise) before operatingsaw.

For the most efficient cutting action, set the depth

adjustment so that one-half tooth of the blade will project

below the material to be cut. This distance is from the tip of

the tooth to the bottom of the gullet in front of it. This keeps

blade friction at a minimum, removes sawdust from the cut,

results in cooler, faster sawing and reduces the chance of

kickback. A method for checking for correct cutting depth

is shown in FigureK. Lay a piece of the material you plan to

cut along the side of the blade, as shown, and observe how

much tooth projects beyond thematerial.

Fig. J

Fig. K

Bevel Angle Adjustment (Fig.A,L)

The full range of the bevel adjustment is from 0° to 57°. The

quadrant is graduated in increments of 1°. On the front of

the saw is a bevel angle adjustment mechanism consisting

of a calibrated quadrant and a bevel adjustment lever

10

To set the saw for a bevel cut

1. Loosen (counterclockwise) the bevel adjustment

lever

10

and tilt shoe (

5

, Fig.A) to the desired angle by

aligning the pointer with the desired anglemark.

2. Retighten lever firmly (clockwise).

Fig. L

Shoe Adjustment for 90°Cuts (Fig.L,M)

If additional adjustment is needed:

1. Adjust the saw to 0°bevel.

2. Retract the lower blade guard. Place the saw on

bladeside.

ENGLISH

3. Loosen bevel adjustment lever (

10

, Fig.L). Place

a square against the blade and shoe to adjust the

90°setting.

4. Turn the calibration screw

18

so that the shoe will stop

at the properangle.

5. Confirm the accuracy of the setting by checking the

squareness of an actual cut on a scrap piece ofmaterial.

Fig. M

Kerf Indicator (Fig.N)

The front of the saw shoe has a kerf indicator

9

for vertical

and bevel cutting. This indicator enables you to guide the

saw along cutting lines penciled on the material being cut.

The kerf indicator lines up with the left (inner) side of the

saw blade, which makes the slot or “kerf” cut by the moving

blade fall to the right of the indicator. Guide along the

penciled cutting line so that the kerf falls into the waste or

surplusmaterial.

Fig. N

Workpiece Support (Fig.O–Q)



WARNING: It is important to support the work

properly and to hold the saw firmly to prevent loss of

control which could cause personal injury. FigureO

illustrates proper hand support of the saw. Maintain

a firm grip with both hands on the saw and position

your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback

if it occurs. ALWAYS TURN OFF TOOL AND REMOVE

BATTERY BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS!

Fig. O

Figure O shows proper sawing position. Note that hands

are kept away from cutting area. To avoid kickback, DO

support board or panel NEAR the cut (Fig.P). DON’T support

board or panel away from the cut (Fig.Q).

Place the work with its “good” side – the one on which

appearance is most important – down. The saw cuts

upward, so any splintering will be on the work face that is

up when you cutit.

Fig. P

Fig. Q

Cutting (Fig. P)

Place the wider portion of the saw shoe on that part of the

workpiece which is solidly supported, not on the section

that will fall off when the cut is made. As an example,

FigureP illustrates the RIGHT way to cut off the end of a

board. Always clamp work. Don’t try to hold short pieces by

hand! Remember to support cantilevered and overhanging

material. Use caution when sawing material frombelow.

Be sure saw is up to full speed before blade contacts

material to be cut. Starting saw with blade against material

to be cut or pushed forward into kerf can result in kickback.

Push the saw forward at a speed which allows the blade to

cut withoutlaboring.

Hardness and toughness can vary even in the same piece of

material, and knotty or damp sections can put a heavy load

on the saw. When this happens, push the saw more slowly,

but hard enough to keep working without much decrease

in speed. Forcing the saw can cause rough cuts, inaccuracy,

kickback, and over-heating of themotor.

Should your cut begin to go off the line, don’t try to force

it back on. Release the trigger switch and allow blade to

come to a complete stop. Then you can withdraw the saw,

sight anew, and start a new cut slightly inside the wrong

one. Withdraw the saw if you must shift the cut. Forcing

a correction inside the cut can stall the saw and lead

tokickback.

IF SAW STALLS, RELEASE THE TRIGGER SWITCH AND

BACK THE SAW UNTIL IT IS LOOSE. BE SURE BLADE IS

STRAIGHT IN THE CUT AND CLEAR OF THE CUTTING EDGE

BEFORERESTARTING.

ENGLISH

As you finish a cut, release the trigger switch and allow the

blade to stop before lifting the saw from the work. As you

lift the saw, the spring-tensioned lower blade guard will

automatically close under the blade. Remember the blade

is exposed until this occurs. Never reach under the work

for any reason. When you have to retract the lower blade

guard manually (as is necessary for starting pocket cuts),

always use the retractinglever.



WARNING: When cutting thin strips, be careful to

ensure that small cutoff pieces don’t hang up on the

inside of the lower bladeguard.

Ripping (Fig. R)

Ripping is the process of cutting wider boards into narrower

strips – cutting grain lengthwise. Hand guiding is more

difficult for this type of sawing and the use of a

DeWALT

rip

fence isrecommended.

Fig. R

Pocket Cutting (Fig. S)



WARNING: Never tie the lower blade guard in a raised

position. Never move the saw backwards when pocket

cutting. This may cause the saw to raise up off the

work surface, which could causeinjury.

Fig. S

A pocket cut is one that is made in a floor, wall or other

flatsurface.

1. Adjust the saw shoe so the blade cuts at desireddepth.

2. Tilt the saw forward and rest front of the shoe on

material to becut.

3. Using the lower blade guard retracting lever, retract the

lower blade guard to an upward position. Lower the

rear of the shoe until the blade teeth almost touch the

cuttingline.

4. Release the lower blade guard (its contact with the work

will keep it in position to open freely as you start the

cut). Remove your hand from the lower blade guard

retracting lever and firmly grip the auxiliary handle

12

as shown in FigureS. Position your body and arm to

allow you to resist kickback if itoccurs.

5. Make sure blade is not in contact with cutting surface

before startingsaw.

6. Start the motor and gradually lower the saw until its

shoe rests flat on the material to be cut. Advance saw

along the cutting line until cut iscompleted.

7. Release the trigger switch and allow the blade to

stop completely before withdrawing the blade from

thematerial.

8. When starting each new cut, repeat the abovesteps.

Hang Hook (Fig.A)

AVERTISSEMENTS GÉNÉRAUX SUR LA

SÉCURITÉ DES OUTILS



AVERTISSEMENT: lisez tous les avertissements de

sécurité, toutes les instructions, les illustrations

et les caractéristiques fournis avec cet outil

électrique. Ne pas suivre toutes les instructions

comprises aux présentes peut conduire à un choc

électrique, un incendie et/ou des blessuresgraves.

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

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.

h ) Ne pas laisser votre connaissance acquise suite

l’utilisation fréquente des outils vous permettre

de baisser la garde et ignorer les principes de

sécurité de l’outil. Un acte irréfléchi peut causer une

blessure grave en une fraction deseconde.

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.

FRANÇAIS

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 ) Débranchez la fiche de la prise électrique et, si

amovible, retirez le bloc-piles de l’outil avant

d’effectuer tout ajustement, changement et

entreposage de celui-ci. 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 ) Gardez les poignées et surfaces d’emprise

propres et libres de tout produit lubrifiant.

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.

h ) Garder vos mains et les surfaces de prise sèches,

propres et libres de graisse et de poussière. Les

mains et les surfaces de prise glissante ne permettent

pas la manutention et le contrôle sécuritaires de l’outil

dans les situationsimprévues.

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.

e ) Ne pas utiliser de bloc-piles ou outil qui

a été endommagé ou modifié. Les unités

endommagées ou modifiées peuvent avoir une

réaction imprévisible résultant en un incendie,

une explosion ou un potentiel de blessure.

f ) Ne pas exposer de bloc-piles ou l’outil aux

flammes ou à des températures excessives.

L’exposition aux flammes ou à une température

au-dessus de 130°C (265°F) pourrait causer

uneexplosion.

g ) Suivre toutes les instructions de recharge et

ne rechargez pas le bloc-piles ou l’outil à des

températures hors de la plage de température

indiquée dans les instructions. Une recharge non

conforme ou à une température hors des limites

spécifiées peut endommager les piles et augmenter le

risque d’incendie.

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électriques.

b ) Ne jamais réparer des blocs-piles endommagés.

La réparation de blocs-piles doit seulement être

effectuée par le fabricant ou les fournisseurs de

serviceautorisé.

Consignes de sécurité propres à toutes

lesscies

a ) DANGER: éloigner les mains des zones et

organes de coupe. Maintenir la deuxième main

sur la poignée auxiliaire ou le boîtier du moteur.

Lorsque les deux mains maintiennent la scie, la lame

ne peut lescouper.

b ) N’essayez pas de tenir le dessous de l’ouvrage. Le

protège-lame ne peut pas vous protéger de la lame en

dessous de l'ouvrage.

c ) Ajustez la profondeur de coupe à l’épaisseur de

l’ouvrage. Moins d’une dent entière de lame devrait

être visible en dessous de l’ouvrage.

d ) Ne tenez jamais dans vos mains ou sur vos

genoux un ouvrage qui est en cours de coupe.

Fixez votre ouvrage sur une plateforme stable. Il

est important de soutenir correctement l’ouvrage afin

de minimiser l’exposition du corps à la lame, le risque

de coincement de la lame ou la perte de contrôle de

l’outil.

e ) Tenez l’outil électrique uniquement par les

parties isolées prévues à cet effet pendant toute

utilisation où l’organe de coupe pourrait entrer

en contact avec des fils électriques ou son propre

cordon d’alimentation. Tout contact avec un fil

«sous tension» risque de mettre «sous tension» les
