General Power Tool Safety Warnings

DEWALT DWS774 - General Power Tool Safety Warnings - 1

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 residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD 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 energising 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 jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery 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 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.
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) 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 Rules for Mitre Saws

a) Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or wood-like products, they cannot be used with abrasive cut-off wheels for cutting ferrous material such as bars, rods, studs, etc. Abrasive dust causes moving parts such as the lower guard to jam. Sparks from abrasive cutting will burn the lower guard, the kerf insert and other plastic parts.
b) Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever possible. If supporting theworkpiece by hand, you must always keep your hand at least 100 mm from eitherside of the saw blade. Do not use this saw to cut pieces that are too small to besecurely clamped or held by hand. If your hand is placed too close to the saw blade, there is an increased risk of injury from blade contact.
c) The workpiece must be stationary and clamped or held against both the fence and the table. Do not feed the workpiece into the blade or cut "freehand" in any way. Unrestrained or moving workpieces could be thrown at high speeds, causing injury.
d) Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not pull the saw through the workpiece. To make a cut, raise the saw head and pull it out over the workpiece without cutting, start the motor, press the saw head down and push the saw through the workpiece. Cutting on the pull stroke is likely to cause the saw blade to climb on top of the workpiece and violently throw the blade assembly towards the operator.
e) Never cross your hand over the intended line of cutting either in front or behind the saw blade. Supporting the workpiece "cross handed" i.e. holding the workpiece to the right of the saw blade with your left hand or vice versa is very dangerous.

f) Do not reach behind the fence with either hand closer than 100 mm from either side of the saw blade, to remove wood scraps, or for any other reason while the blade is spinning. The proximity of the spinning saw blade to your hand may not be obvious and you may be seriously injured.
g) Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it with the outside bowed face toward the fence. Always make certain that there is no gap between the workpiece, fence and table along the line of the cut. Bent or warped workpieces can twist or shift and may cause binding on the spinning saw blade while cutting. There should be no nails or foreign objects in the workpiece.
h) Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except for the workpiece. Small debris or loose pieces of wood or other objects that contact the revolving blade can be thrown with high speed.
i) Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked multiple workpieces cannot be adequately clamped or braced and may bind on the blade or shift during cutting.
j) Ensure the mitre saw is mounted or placed on a level, firm work surface before use. A level and firm work surface reduces the risk of the mitre saw becoming unstable.
k) Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel or mitre angle setting, make sure the adjustable fence is set correctly to support the workpiece and will not interfere with the blade or the guarding system. Without turning the tool "ON" and with no workpiece on the table, move the saw blade through a complete simulated cut to assure there will be no interference or danger of cutting the fence.
1) Provide adequate support such as table extensions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that is wider or longer than the table top. Workpieces longer or wider than the mitre saw table can tip if not securely supported. If the cut-off piece or workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard or be thrown by the spinning blade.
m) Do not use another person as a substitute for a table extension or as additional support. Unstable support for the workpiece can cause the blade to bind or the workpiece to shift during the cutting operation pulling you and the helper into the spinning blade.
n) The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed by any means against the spinning saw blade. If confined, i.e. using length stops, the cut-off piece could get wedged against the blade and thrown violently.
o) Always use a clamp or a fixture designed to properly support round material such as rods or tubing. Rods have a tendency to roll while being cut, causing the blade to "bite" and pull the work with your hand into the blade.
p) Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the workpiece being thrown.
q) If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the mitre saw off. Wait for all moving parts to stop and disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack. Then work to free the jammed material. Continued sawing with a jammed workpiece could cause loss of control or damage to the mitre saw.
r) After finishing the cut, release the switch, hold the saw head down and wait for the blade to stop before removing the cut-off piece. Reaching with your hand near the coasting blade is dangerous.

DEWALT DWS774 - Safety Rules for Mitre Saws - 1

s) Hold the handle firmly when making an incomplete cut or when releasing the switch before the saw head is completely in the down position. The braking action of the saw may cause the saw head to be suddenly pulled downward, causing a risk of injury.

Additional Safety Rules for Mitre Saws

  • Do not use the saw to cut other materials than those recommended by the manufacturer.
  • Do not operate the machine without guards in position, or if guards do not function or are not maintained properly.
  • Select the correct blade for the material to be cut.
    • Use correctly sharpened saw blades.
    • Make sure that the blade rotates in the correct direction.
  • USE ONLY CROSS CUT SAW BLADES recommended for mitre saws. Do not use carbide tipped blades with hook angles in excess of 7 degrees. Do not use blades with deep gullets. These can deflect and contact the guard, and can cause damage to the machine and/or serious injury.
  • Never attempt to stop a machine in motion rapidly by jamming a tool or other means against the blade; serious accidents can occur.
  • Before using any accessory consult the instruction manual. The improper use of an accessory can cause damage.
  • Ensure that the saw blade is mounted correctly before use.
  • 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 EN 847-1.
    • Do not use HIGH SPEED STEEL blades.
  • Do not use cracked or damaged saw blades.
  • Do not use any abrasive or diamond discs.
  • Use only saw blades where the marked speed is at least equal to the speed marked on the saw.
  • Do not wedge anything against the fan to hold the motor shaft.
  • Never raise the blade guard manually unless the saw is switched off. The guard can be raised by hand when installing or removing saw blades or for inspection of the saw.
  • Check periodically that the motor air slots are clean and free of chips.
  • Please be aware of the following factors influencing exposure to noise:
  • use saw blades designed to reduce the emitted noise;
  • use only well sharpened saw blades;
    • Machine maintenance shall be conducted periodically;
  • In case of an accident or machine failure, immediately turn the machine off and disconnect machine from the power source.
    • Report the failure and mark the machine in suitable form to prevent other people from using the defective machine.
  • When sawing plastic melting of the material is to be avoided.

General

  • Use the optional roller tables for large and long pieces of wood.
  • Use the optional dust extraction.
  • Never use your saw without the kerf plate.
  • Never use the saw without fixed table extensions.

Before use

  • Check for damage to the tool and the power cable. Take care that the power supply cord is not placed in the cutting area
  • Check the upper blade guard, movable lower blade guard as well as the dust extraction tube to determine that it will operate properly.
  • Check the lower blade guard, it is designed to close quickly when the lever is released. If it does not close within 1 second, have the saw serviced by an authorized DeWALTrepair agent.
  • Ensure that chips, dust or workpiece particle cannot lead to blockage of one of the functions.
  • In case of workpiece fragments jammed between saw blade and guards disconnect the tool from the power supply. Remove the jammed parts and reassembling the saw blade.
  • Allow the blade to cut freely. Do not force.
    • Always make dry runs (without power) before finish cuts so that you can check the path of the blade.
  • Allow the motor to reach full speed before cutting.
    • Make sure all locking knobs and clamp handles are tight.

DEWALT DWS774 - Before use - 1

WARNING: Improper use can cause serious harm.

  • Be sure that the tool is in the "off" position before plugging in.
  • Do not let persons, especially children, not involved in the work, touch the tool or the extension cord and keep them away from the work area.

Body and hand position

  • Never place your hands closer than 100 mm from the blade.
  • Never cross your hands.

- As you move the saw arm left and right, follow it and stand slightly to the side of the saw blade.

Cutting

• Always let the blade come to a full stop before raising the arm. If small fibres of wood still split out at the rear of the workpiece, stick a piece of masking tape on the wood where the cut will be made. Saw through the tape and carefully remove tape when finished.
- Hold the workpiece tightly to the table and the fence when cutting. Keep your hands in position until the switch has been released and the blade has completely stopped.
- When mitring the end of a piece of wood with a small off-cut, position the wood to ensure that the off-cut is to the side of the blade with the greater angle to the fence, i.e:

  • left mitre, off-cut to the right
  • right mitre, off-cut to the left

• Always guid the saw head from the lower position to the rest position, otherwise there is a risk of tip over.

After use

  • Disconnect the power cable from the power supply.
  • Store the Mitre Saw in a dry place and locked up securely, out of reach of children.
