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 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 a 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 and clothing 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 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

EnGLIsh

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) 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 behaviour 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 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 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 the workpiece by hand, you must always keep your hand at least 100 mm from either side of the saw blade. Do not use this saw to cut pieces that are too small to be securely 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.

a) 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.

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

WARNING: Do not connect to the mains power supply into the unit until complete instructions are read and understood.

- DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE until it is completely assembled and installed according to the instructions. A machine incorrectly assembled can cause serious injury.

- OBTAIN ADVICE from your supervisor, instructor, or another qualified person if you are not thoroughly familiar with the operation of this machine. Knowledge is safety.

• MAKE CERTAIN the blade rotates in the correct direction. The teeth on the blade should point in the direction of rotation as marked on the saw.

- TIGHTEN ALL CLAMP HANDLES, knobs and levers prior to operation. Loose clamps can cause parts or the workpiece to be thrown at high speeds.

- BE SURE all blade and blade clamps are clean, recessed sides of blade clamps are against blade and arbour screw is tightened securely. Loose or improper blade clamping may result in damage to the saw and possible personal injury.

- DO NOT OPERATE ON ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE DESIGNATED VOLTAGE for the saw. Overheating, damage to the tool and personal injury may occur.

- DO NOT WEDGE ANYTHING AGAINST THE FAN to hold the motor shaft. Damage to tool and possible personal injury may occur.

- NEVER CUT METALS or masonry. Either of these can cause the carbide tips to fly off the blade at high speeds causing serious injury.

- NEVER HAVE ANY PART OF YOUR BODY IN LINE WITH THE PATH OF THE SAW BLADE. Personal injury will occur.

- NEVER APPLY BLADE LUBRICANT TO A RUNNING BLADE. Applying lubricant could cause your hand to move into the blade resulting in serious injury.

• DO NOT place either hand in the blade area when the saw is connected to the power source. Inadvertent blade activation may result in serious injury.

- NEVER REACH AROUND OR BEHIND THE SAW BLADE. A blade can cause serious injury.

• DO NOT REACH UNDERNEATH THE SAW unless it is unplugged and turned off. Contact with saw blade may cause personal injury.

- SECURE THE MACHINE TO A STABLE SUPPORTING SURFACE. Vibration can possibly cause the machine to slide, walk, or tip over, causing serious injury.

- USE ONLY CROSSCUT SAW BLADES recommended for mitre saws. For best results, 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.

- USE ONLY BLADES OF THE CORRECT SIZE AND TYPE specified for this tool to prevent damage to the machine and/or serious injury (complying with EN847-1).

• INSPECT BLADE FOR CRACKS or other damage prior to operation. A cracked or damaged blade can come apart and pieces can be thrown at high speeds, causing serious injury. Replace cracked or damaged blades immediately. Observe the maximum speed marked on the saw blade.

- THE MAXIMUM SPEED OF THE SAW BLADE shall always be greater than or at least equal to the speed marked on the rating plate of the tool.

- THE SAW BLADE DIAMETER must be in accordance with the markings on rating plate of the tool.

- CLEAN THE BLADE AND BLADE CLAMPS prior to operation. Cleaning the blade and blade clamps allows you to check for any damage to the blade or blade clamps. A cracked or damaged blade or blade clamp can come apart and pieces can be thrown at high speeds, causing serious injury.

- DO NOT USE WARPED BLADES. Check to see if the blade runs true and is free from vibration. A vibrating blade can cause damage to the machine and/or serious injury.

• DO NOT use lubricants or cleaners (particularly spray or aerosol) in the vicinity of the plastic guard. The polycarbonate material used in the guard is subject to attack by certain chemicals.

- KEEP GUARD IN PLACE and in working order.

- ALWAYS USE THE KERF PLATE AND REPLACE THIS PLATE WHEN DAMAGED. Small chip accumulation under the saw may interfere with the saw blade or may cause instability of workpiece when cutting.

- USE ONLY BLADE CLAMPS SPECIFIED FOR THIS TOOL to prevent damage to the machine and/or serious injury.

• MAKE SURE to use the correct saw blade for the material to be cut.

- CLEAN THE MOTOR AIR SLOTS of chips and sawdust. Clogged motor air slots can cause the machine to overheat, damaging the machine and possibly causing a short which could cause serious injury.

- NEVER LOCK THE SWITCH IN THE "ON" POSITION. Severe personal injury may result.

- NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.

WARNING: Cutting plastics, sap coated wood, and other materials may cause melted material to accumulate on the blade tips and the body of the saw blade, increasing the risk of blade overheating and binding while cutting.

WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing protection. Use some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss. 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, and - Use specifically designed noise-reduction saw blades.

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safe glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.

WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, and other construction activities contains chemicals known 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 approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure.

Residual Risks

The following risks are inherent to the use of saws:

• Injuries caused by touching the rotating parts.

In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks cannot be avoided. These are:

- Impairment of hearing.

EnGLIsh

• Risk of accidents caused by the uncovered parts of the rotating saw blade.
  • Risk of injury when changing the blade.
• Risk of squeezing fingers when opening the guards.
  • Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when sawing wood, especially oak, beech and MDF.
  The following factors increase the risk of breathing problems:
• No dust extractor connected when sawing wood.
• Insufficient dust extraction caused by uncleaned exhaust filters.

• In case of damaged power supply cord the supply cord must be replaced immediately by the manufacturer, its service agent or similar qualified person to prevent any hazard.
• Disconnect the charger from the outlet before attempting any cleaning. This will reduce the risk of electric shock. Removing the battery pack will not reduce this risk.
• NEVER attempt to connect two chargers together.
• The charger is designed to operate on standard 230V household electrical power. Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage. This does not apply to the vehicular charger.

Charging a Battery (Fig. B)

1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack 4 into the charger, making sure the battery pack is fully seated in the charger. The red (charging) light will blink repeatedly indicating that the charging process has started.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red light remaining ON continuously. The battery pack is fully charged and may be used at this time or left in the charger. To remove the battery pack from the charger, push the battery release button 5 on the battery pack.

NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of lithium-ion battery packs, charge the battery pack fully before first use.

Charger Operation

Refer to the indicators below for the charge status of the battery pack.

Charge Indicators
Charging	— — — — —
Fully Charged	— — — — —
Hot/Cold Pack Delay*	— — — — —

* 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 by refusing to light.

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 authorised service centre.

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

XR 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

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 25.4 mm long with a screw head diameter of 7–9 mm, screwed into wood to an optimal depth leaving approximately 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. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

• Do not charge or use battery in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or removing the battery from the charger may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Never force battery pack into charger. Do not modify battery pack in any way to fit into a non-compatible charger as battery pack may rupture causing serious personal injury.
• Charge the battery packs only in DEWALT chargers.
  • DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
• Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature may fall below 4 °C (34 °F) (such as outside sheds or

metal buildings in winter), or reach or exceed 40 °C (104 °F) (such as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer).

• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn out. The battery pack can explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are created when lithium-ion battery packs are burned.
• If battery contents come into contact with the skin, immediately wash area with mild soap and water. If battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye for 15 minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical attention is needed, the battery electrolyte is composed of a mixture of liquid organic carbonates and lithium salts.
• Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.

WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if exposed to spark or flame.

WARNING: Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into charger. Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has received a sharp blow, been dropped, run over or damaged in any way (i.e., pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on). Electric shock or electrocution may result. Damaged battery packs should be returned to service centre for recycling.

WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry the battery pack so metal objects can contact exposed battery terminals. For example, do not place the battery pack in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys, etc.

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.

Transportation

WARNING: Fire hazard. Transporting batteries can possibly cause the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials. When transporting batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.

NOTE: Lithium-ion batteries should not be put in checked baggage.

DEWALT batteries comply with all applicable shipping regulations as prescribed by industry and legal standards which include UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods; International Air Transport Association (IATA) Dangerous Goods Regulations, International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Regulations, and the European Agreement Concerning The International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR). Lithium-ion cells and batteries have been tested to section 38.3 of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods Manual of Tests and Criteria.

In most instances, shipping a DEWALT battery pack will be excepted from being classified as a fully regulated Class 9 Hazardous Material. In general, only shipments containing a lithium-ion battery with an energy rating greater than 100 Watt Hours (Wh) will require being shipped as fully regulated Class 9. All lithium-ion batteries have the Watt Hour rating marked on the pack. Furthermore, due to regulation complexities, DEWALT does not recommend air shipping lithium-ion battery packs alone regardless of Watt Hour rating. Shipments of tools with batteries (combo kits) can be air shipped as excepted if the Watt Hour rating of the battery pack is no greater than 100 Whr.

Regardless of whether a shipment is considered excepted or fully regulated, it is the shipper's responsibility to consult the latest regulations for packaging, labeling/marking and documentation requirements.

The information provided in this section of the manual is provided in good faith and believed to be accurate at the time the document was created. However, no warranty, expressed or implied, is given. It is the buyer's responsibility to ensure that its activities comply with the applicable regulations.

Transporting the FLEXVOLT™ Battery

The DEWALT FLEXVOLT ^™ battery has two modes: Use and Transport.

Use Mode: When the FLEXVOLT™ battery stands alone or is in a DEWALT 18V product, it will operate as an 18V battery. When the FLEXVOLT™ battery is in a 54V or a 108V (two 54V batteries) product, it will operate as a 54V battery.

Transport Mode: When the cap is attached to the FLEXVOLT™ battery, the battery is in Transport mode. Keep the cap for shipping.

When in Transport mode, strings of cells are electrically disconnected within the pack resulting in 3 batteries with a lower Watt hour (Wh) rating as compared to 1 battery

with a higher Watt hour rating. This increased quantity of 3 batteries with the lower Watt hour rating can exempt the pack from certain shipping regulations that are imposed upon the higher Watt hour batteries.

For example, the Transport Wh rating might indicate 3 x 36 Wh, meaning 3 batteries of 36 Wh each. The Use Wh rating might indicate 108 Wh (1 battery implied).

Example of Use and Transport Label Marking

Use: 108 Wh

Transport: 3x36 Wh

Storage Recommendations

1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold. For optimum battery performance and life, store battery packs at room temperature when not in use.
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.

Allow the blade to spin up to full operating speed before making the cut. To turn the saw off, release the switch. Allow the blade to stop before raising the saw head. There is no provision for locking the switch on. A hole 26 is provided in the trigger for insertion of a padlock to lock the switch off.

Your saw is equipped with an automatic electric blade brake, but the saw blade should stop within 4 seconds of trigger release.

Always be sure the blade has stopped before removing it from the kerf.

Dust Extraction (Fig. A2, D, AA)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn to off and disconnect battery pack before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

WARNING: Certain dust, such as oak or beech dust, is considered eau-chrogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment additives.

• Always use dust extraction.
- Provide for good ventilation of the work space.
- It is recommended to wear an appropriate respirator.

CAUTION: Never operate this saw unless the dust bag or RAILT dust extractor is in place. Wood dust may create a breathing hazard.

CAUTION: Check and clean the dust bag each time after using.

WARNING: When sawing aluminium, remove the dust bag, or disconnect the dust extractor to avoid the risk of fire.

Your mitre saw has a built-in dust port 36 that allows connection to either the dust bag 40, 33 mm nozzles or direct attachment to the DLWALT AirLock (DWV9000-XJ).

Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the materials to be worked.

To Attach the Dust Bag (Fig. D)

1. Fit the dust bag 40 to the dust port 36 as shown in Figure D.

To Empty the Dust Bag (Fig. D)

1. Remove dust bag 40 from the saw and gently shake or tap the dust bag to empty.

2. Reattach the dust bag back onto the dust port 36.

You may notice that all the dust will not come free from the bag. This will not affect cutting performance but will reduce the saw's dust collection efficiency. To restore your saw's dust collection efficiency, depress the spring inside the dust bag when you are emptying it and tap it on the side of the trash can or dust receptacle.

External Dust Extraction (Fig. AA)

When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental to health or carcinogenic, use a special dust Class M vacuum cleaner.

Connecting to an AirLock Compatible Dust Extractor (Fig. AA)

The dust port 36 on your mitre saw is compatible with the DeWALT AirLock connection system. The AirLock allows for a fast, secure connection between the dust extractor hose 67 and the mitre saw.

1. Ensure the collar on the AirLock connector 65 is in the unlock position. Align notches 66 on collar and AirLock connector as shown for unlock and lock positions.
2. Push the AirLock connector onto the dust port 36.
3. Rotate the collar to the locked position. NOTE: The ball bearings inside collar lock into slot and secure the connection. The mitre saw is now securely connected to the dust extractor.

Wireless Tool Connect™ Compatible

This mitre saw has a built in wireless connection which can operate with a Wireless Tool Connect™ dust extractor. Once the saw and the Wireless Tool Connect™ compatible dust extractor are paired, the dust extractor will be controlled by the trigger switch on the mitre saw.

Use of XPS™ LED Worklight System (Fig. A1, A2)

NOTE: The mitre saw must have the battery pack inserted.

The XPS™ LED Worklight System is equipped with a temporary on switch 27 and can be activated manually. The XPS™ LED Worklight System also turns on when the trigger is activated and the blade is running.

To cut through an existing pencil line on a piece of wood:

1. Turn on the XPS™ system, then pull down on the operating handle 2 to bring the saw blade close to the wood. The shadow of the blade will appear on the wood.
2. Align the pencil line with the edge of the blade's shadow. You may have to adjust the mitre or bevel angles in order to match the pencil line exactly.

Through-Cutting Operations (Fig. A1, A2, P, Q)

If the slide feature is not used, ensure the saw head is pushed back as far as possible and the rail lock knob 6 is tightened. This will prevent the saw from sliding along its rails as the workpiece is engaged.

Cutting of multiple pieces is not recommended but can be done safely by ensuring that each piece is held firmly against the table and fence.

Straight Vertical Crosscut

1. Set and lock the mitre arm at zero, and hold the wood firmly on the table 17 and against the fence 13.
2. With the rail lock knob 6 tightened, turn on the saw by pushing the lock-off lever 25 and squeezing the trigger switch 24.
3. When the saw comes up to speed, lower the arm smoothly and slowly to cut through the wood. Let the blade come to a full stop before raising arm.

Sliding Crosscut (Fig. A1, P)

When cutting anything larger than a 51 x 115 mm (51 x 82 mm at 45° mitre) workpiece, use an out-down-back motion with the rail lock knob 6 loosened.

Pull the saw out toward you, lower the saw head down toward the workpiece, and slowly push the saw back to complete the cut.

Do not allow the saw to contact the top of the workpiece while pulling out. The saw may run toward you, possibly causing personal injury or damage to the workpiece.

Mitre Crosscut (Fig. Q)

The mitre angle is often 45^ for making corners, but can be set anywhere from zero to 50^ left or 60^ right. Proceed as for a straight vertical crosscut. When performing a mitre cut on workpieces wider than 51 × 105 mm that are shorter in length, always place the longer side against the fence.

Bevel Cut (Fig. A1, A2)

Bevel angles can be set from 49° right to 49° left and can be cut with the mitre arm set between 50° left or 60° right. Refer to the Features and Controls section for detailed instructions on the bevel system.

1. Loosen the bevel lock knob 33, and move the saw to the left or right as desired. It is necessary to move the fence 13 to allow clearance. Tighten the fence adjustment knob 12 after positioning the fences.
2. Tighten the bevel lock firmly.

At some extreme angles, the right side fence might have to be removed. Refer to Fence Adjustment in the Adjustments section for important information on adjusting the fences for certain bevel cuts.

To remove the right fence, unscrew the fence adjustment knob 12 several turns and slide the fence out. The right fence is secured to the base with a lanyard to prevent it from being lost.

Quality of Cut

The smoothness of any cut depends on a number of variables, such as the material being cut, blade type, blade sharpness and rate of cut.

When smoothest cuts are desired for molding and other precision work, a sharp (60 tooth carbide) blade and a slower, even cutting rate will produce the desired results.

WARNING: Ensure that the material does not move or creep while clamping; clamp it securely in place. Always let the blade come to a full stop before raising 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.

Non-Through-Cutting (Grooving and Rabbeting) (Fig. A2)

Your saw is equipped with a grooving stop 30, depth adjustment screw 29 and wing nut 28 to allow for groove cutting. Instructions in the Sliding Crosscuts, Bevel Cuts and Cutting Compound Mitres sections are for cuts made through the full thickness of the material. The saw can also perform non-through cuts to form grooves or rabbets in the material.

Grooving (Fig. A1, A2)

Refer to Grooving Stop for detailed instructions for setting depth of cut. A piece of scrap wood should be used to verify the desired depth of cut.

1. Hold the wood firmly on the table and against the fence 13. Align the cut area underneath the blade. Position the saw arm fully forward, with blade in down position. Turn on the saw by pushing the lock-off lever 25 and squeezing the trigger switch 24. Smoothly, push saw arm rearward to cut a groove through the workpiece.
2. Release the trigger switch with the saw arm down. When saw blade has completely stopped, raise the saw arm. Always let the blade come to a full stop before raising the arm.
3. To widen the groove, repeat steps 1–2 until the desired width is obtained.

Clamping the Workpiece (Fig. C)

WARNING: A workpiece that is clamped, balanced and secure before a cut may become unbalanced after a cut is completed. An unbalanced load may tip the saw or anything the saw is attached to, such as a table or workbench. When making a cut that may become unbalanced, properly support the workpiece and ensure the saw is firmly bolted to a stable surface. Personal injury may occur.

WARNING: The clamp foot must remain clamped above the base of the saw whenever the clamp is used. Always clamp the workpiece to the base of the saw – not to any other part of the work area. Ensure the clamp foot is not clamped on the edge of the base of the saw.

CAUTION: Always use a work clamp to maintain control and reduce the risk of personal injury and workpiece damage.

Use the material clamp 39 provided with your saw. The left or right fence will slide from side to side to aid in clamping. Other aids such as spring clamps, bar clamps or C-clamps may be appropriate for certain sizes and shapes of material.

To Install Clamp

1. There are four rectangular clamp mounting holes 68 in the base, two in the front and two on the back of the saw under the base fence. Insert the clamp 39 into one of the four holes.
   NOTE: When assembling the clamp on the back side of the saw, the arm of the clamp will need to be at the highest position so that clamp post can be slid into the mounting hole as the clamp passes over the fence.
2. Loosen the knob to adjust the clamp up or down, tighten the knob to firmly clamp the workpiece.

NOTE: Place the clamp on the opposite side of the base when beveling. ALWAYS MAKE DRY RUNS (UNPOWERED) BEFORE FINISH CUTS TO CHECK THE PATH OF THE BLADE. ENSURE THE CLAMP DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH THE ACTION OF THE SAW OR GUARDS.

Support for Long Pieces (Fig. E)

ALWAYS SUPPORT LONG PIECES.

For best results, use the DE7023-XJ or DE7033 leg stands 41 to extend the table width of your saw. Support long workpieces using any convenient means such as sawhorses or similar devices to keep the ends from dropping.

Cutting Picture Frames, Shadow Boxes And Other Four-Sided Projects (Fig. R, S)

Try a few simple projects using scrap wood until you develop a "feel" for your saw. Your saw is the perfect tool for mitring corners like the one shown in Figure R.

Sketch 1 in Figure S shows a joint made with the bevel adjustment method.

The joint shown can be made using either method.

• Using bevel adjustment:

• The bevel for the two boards is adjusted to 45^ each, producing a 90^ corner.
• The mitre arm is locked in the zero position and the bevel adjustment is locked at 45°.
• The wood is positioned with the broad flat side against the table and the narrow edge against the fence.

• Using mitre adjustment:

- The same cut can be made by mitring right and left with the broad surface against the fence.

Cutting Trim Molding and Other Frames (Fig. S)

Sketch 2 in Figure S shows a joint made by setting the mitre arm at 45^ to mitre the two boards to form a 90^ corner. To make this type of joint, set the bevel adjustment to zero and the mitre arm to 45^ . Once again, position the wood with the broad flat side on the table and the narrow edge against the fence.

The two sketches in Figure S are for four-sided objects only. As the number of sides changes, so do the mitre and bevel angles. The chart below gives the proper angles for a variety of shapes, assuming that all sides are of equal length.

NUMBER OF SIDES MITRE OR BEVEL ANGLE

4 45°

5 36°

6 30°

7 25.7"

8 22.5°

9 20°

10 18°

For a shape that is not shown in the chart, use the following formula: 180^ divided by the number of sides equals the mitre (if the material is cut vertically) or bevel angle (if the material is cut laying flat).

Cutting Compound Mitres (Fig. T)

A compound mitre is a cut made using a mitre angle and a bevel angle at the same time. This is the type of cut used to make frames or boxes with slanting sides like the one shown in Figure T.

WARNING: If the cutting angle varies from cut to cut, check that the bevel lock knob and the mitre lock handle are securely locked. These must be locked after making any changes in bevel or mitre.

The chart shown below will assist you in selecting the proper bevel and mitre settings for common compound mitre cuts.

• Select the desired angle A (Fig. T) of your project and locate that angle on the appropriate arc in the chart.
• From that point follow the chart straight down to find the correct bevel angle and straight across to find the correct mitre angle.
• Set your saw to the prescribed angles and make a few trial cuts. Practise fitting the cut pieces together.

Example: To make a 4-sided box with 26° exterior angles (Angle A, Fig. T), use the upper right arc. Find 26° on the arc scale. Follow the horizontal intersecting line to either side to get mitre angle setting on saw (42°). Likewise, follow the vertical intersecting line to the top or bottom to get the bevel angle setting on the saw (18°). Always try cuts on a few scrap pieces of wood to verify the settings on the saw.

Cutting Base Moulding (Fig. K, U)

To complete straight 90° cuts, position the wood against the fence and hold it in place as shown in Figure U. Turn on the saw, allow the blade to reach full speed and lower the arm smoothly through the cut.

Cutting Base Moulding from 70 mm up to 150 mm High Vertically Against the Fence (Fig. K, U)

NOTE: Use the slide lock lever 62, shown in Figure K, when cutting base moulding measuring from 70 mm to 150 mm high vertically against the fence.

Position material as shown in Figure U.

All cuts should be made with the back of the moulding against the fence and with the bottom of the moulding against the table.

Inside Corner Outside Corner
Left side Mitre left 45°	Mitre right 45°
Save left side of cut	Save left side of cut
Right side Mitre right 45°	Mitre left 45°
Save right side of cut	Save right side of cut

Material up to 150 mm can be cut as described above.

Cutting Crown Moulding (Fig. A1, V1, V2)

Your mitre saw is well suited to the task of cutting crown moulding. In order to fit properly, crown moulding must be compound mitred with extreme accuracy.

Your mitre saw has special pre-set mitre latch points at 22.5°, 31.6° and 35.3° left and right for cutting crown moulding at the proper angle and bevel stop pawls at 22.5° and 30° left and right. There is also a mark on the bevel scale 10 at 33.9°. The chart below gives the proper settings for cutting crown moulding.

NOTE: Pretesting with scrap material is extremely important!

Instructions for Cutting Crown Moulding Laying Flat and Using the Compound Features (Fig. V1)

1. Moulding should lay flat with the broad back surface down on the saw table 17.
2. Place the top of the moulding against the fence 13.
3. The settings below are for 45° sprung crown moulding.

Alternative Method for Cutting Crown Moulding

Cutting crown moulding using this method does not require a bevel cut. Minute changes in the mitre angle can be made without affecting the bevel angle. When corners other than 90° are encountered, the saw can be quickly and easily adjusted for them.

Instructions for Cutting Crown Moulding Angled Between the Fence and Base of the Saw for All Cuts (Fig. V2)

1. Angle the moulding so the bottom of the moulding (the part which goes against the wall when installed) is against the fence 13 and the top of the moulding is resting on the saw table 17.
2. The angled "flats" on the back of the moulding must rest squarely on the fence and saw table.

Special Cuts

WARNING: Never make any cut unless the material is secured on the table and against the fence.

Aluminum Cutting (Fig. W1, W2)

ALWAYS USE THE APPROPRIATE SAW BLADE MADE ESPECIALLY FOR CUTTING ALUMINUM.

Certain workpieces may require the use of a clamp or fixture to prevent movement during the cut. Position the material so that you will be cutting the thinnest cross section, as shown in Figure W1. Figure W2 illustrates the wrong way to cut these extrusions.

Use a stick wax cutting lubricant when cutting aluminum. Apply the stick wax directly to the saw blade 46 before cutting. Never apply stick wax to a moving blade. The wax provides proper lubrication and keeps chips from adhering to the blade.

Bowed Material (Fig. X1, X2)

When cutting bowed material always position it as shown in Figure X1 and never like that shown in Figure X2. Positioning the material incorrectly will cause it to pinch the blade.

Cutting Plastic Pipe or Other Round Material

Plastic pipe can be easily cut with your saw. It should be cut just like wood and CLAMPED OR HELD FIRMLY TO THE FENCE TO KEEP IT FROM ROLLING. This is extremely important when making angle cuts.

Cutting Large Material (Fig. Y)

Occasionally you will encounter a piece of wood a little too large to fit beneath the lower guard. If this occurs, place your right thumb on the

upper side of the guard 1 and roll the guard up just enough to clear the workpiece, as shown in Figure Y. Avoid doing this as much as possible, but if need be, the saw will operate properly and make the bigger cut. NEVER TIE, TAPE, OR OTHERWISE HOLD THE GUARD OPEN WHEN OPERATING THIS SAW.

MAINTENANCE

Your power tool has been designed to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn to off and disconnect battery pack before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories.

An accidental start-up can cause injury.

The charger and battery pack are not serviceable.

Lubrication

Cleaning

WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of the main housing with dry air as often as dirt is seen collecting in and around the air vents. Wear approved eye protection and approved dust mask when performing this procedure.

WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning titanium-metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals may weaken the materials used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.

Before use, carefully check the upper guard, lower guard and dust duct to determine that they will operate properly. Ensure that chips, dust or workpiece particles do not block of one of the functions.

In case of workpiece fragments jammed between the saw blade and guards, remove the battery pack from the machine and follow the instructions given in Changing or Installing a New Saw Blade. Remove the jammed parts and reassemble the saw blade.

Periodically clean all dust and wood chips from around AND UNDER the base and the rotary table.

Worklight Cleaning

• Carefully clean sawdust and debris from worklight lens with a cotton swab. Dust build-up can block the worklight and prevent it from accurately indicating the line of cut.
  • DO NOT use solvents of any kind; they may damage the lens.
• With blade removed from saw, clean pitch and build-up from blade.

Dust Duct Cleaning

With the saw unplugged and the saw head raised fully, low pressure air or a large diameter dowel rod can be used to clear the dust out of the dust duct.
