English For your convenience and safety, the following warning labels are on your miter saw. ON MOTOR HOUSING: WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, USER MUST READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING MITER SAW. WHEN SERVICING, USE ONLY IDENTICAL REP­ LACE­MENT PARTS. DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN OR USE IN DAMP LOCATIONS. ALWAYS USE PROPER EYE AND RESPIRATORY PROTECTION. ON MOVING FENCES: ALWAYS ADJUST FENCE PROPERLY BEFORE USE. CLAMP SMALL PIECES BEFORE CUTTING. SEE MANUAL. ON GUARD: DANGER-KEEP AWAY FROM BLADE. ON UPPER GUARD: PROPERLY SECURE BRACKET WITH BOTH SCREWS BEFORE USE. ON TABLE: (2 PLACES) WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, USER MUST READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING MITER SAW. KEEP HANDS OUT OF PATH OF SAW BLADE. DO NOT OPERATE SAW WITHOUT GUARDS IN PLACE. CHECK LOWER GUARD FOR PROPER CLOSING BEFORE EACH USE. ALWAYS TIGHTEN ADJUSTMENT KNOBS BEFORE USE. DO NOT PERFORM ANY OPERATION FREEHAND. CLAMP SMALL PIECES BEFORE CUTTING. NEVER REACH IN BACK OF SAW BLADE. NEVER CROSS ARMS IN FRONT OF BLADE. TURN OFF TOOL AND WAIT FOR SAW BLADE TO STOP BEFORE MOVING WORKPIECE, CHANGING SETTINGS OR MOVING HANDS. REMOVE BATTERY PACK BEFORE ADJUSTING, CHANGING BLADE OR SERVICING. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, RETURN CARRIAGE TO THE FULL REAR POSITION AFTER EACH CROSSCUT OPERATION. THINK! YOU CAN PREVENT ACCIDENTS. ON BASE: (2 PLACES) Electrical Connection Be sure your power source agrees with the nameplate marking. 120 volts, AC means that your saw will operate on alternating current. Do not operate with DC power. A voltage decrease of 10 percent or more will cause a loss of power and overheating. All DeWALT tools are factory tested. If this tool does not operate, check the power supply. This miter saw operates on either two 60V battery packs or by using the DeWALT corded power supply. Using the Corded Power Supply The DeWALT corded power supply is designed to Fig. 1 provide power for DeWALT 120V Max* FLEXVOLT cordless tools. Insert the corded power supply into the miter saw battery slot (refer to Installing and Removing the Corded Power Supply) and plug the power supply into an AC outlet. The power supply will act as the power source to the tool. Your DeWALT corded power supply should only be used with standard household 120 VAC, 60 Hz power or a 120 VAC 60Hz generator. The corded power supply is suitable for use with both grounded and double insulated 120V AC tools. When the power supply is utilized with a grounded tool, the tool inlet will be equipped with a ground prong that allows the ground path from the tool to connect to the power supply. When the power supply is used with this double insulated miter saw, no ground connection is made from the tool to the power supply as no ground connection is required. Additional Specific Usage Instructions The corded power supply may become warm to the touch during use. This is a normal condition and does not indicate a problem. IMPORTANT. The power supply is not user serviceable. There are no user serviceable parts inside the power supply. Servicing at an authorized service center is required to avoid damage to static sensitive internal components. Batteries and Chargers The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. Before using the battery pack and charger, read the safety instructions below and then follow charging procedures outlined. When ordering replacement battery packs, be sure to include the catalog number and voltage. Your tool uses a DeWALT charger. Be sure to read all safety instructions before using your charger. Consult the chart at the end of this manual for compatibility of chargers and battery packs. Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Packs 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 charge or use the battery pack in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or removing the battery pack from the charger may ignite the dust or fumes. • Never force the battery pack into the charger. Do not modify the battery pack in any way to fit into a non-compatible charger as battery pack may rupture causing serious personal injury. Consult the chart at the end of this manual for compatibility of batteries and chargers. • Charge the battery packs only in designated 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 reach or exceed 104 °F (40 °C) (such as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer). For best life store battery packs in a cool, dry location. NOTE: Do not store the battery packs in a tool with the trigger switch locked on. Never tape the trigger switch in the ON position. 4
