Dewalt DWE7485 Instruction Manual - Page 6

English Saw Blades • Do not use saw blades that do not conform to the dimensions stated in the Specifications. Do not use any spacers to make a blade fit onto the spindle. Use only the blades specified in this manual, complying with EN847-1, if intended for wood and similar materials. • Consider applying specially designed noise-reduction blades. • Do not use high steel (HS) saw blades. • Do not use cracked or damaged saw blades. • Ensure that the chosen saw blade is suitable for the material to be cut. • Always wear gloves for handling saw blades and rough material. Saw blades should be carried in a holder wherever practicable. 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 operation is dusty. ALL USERS AND BYSTANDERS MUST 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. • Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts. • 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. Minimum Gauge for Cord Sets Volts Total Length of Cord in Feet (meters) 120V 25 (7.6) 50 (15.2) 100 (30.5) 150 (45.7) 240V 50 (15.2) 100 (30.5) 200 (61.0) 300 (91.4) Ampere Rating More Not Than More American Wire Gauge Than 0 6 18 6 10 18 10 12 16 12 16 14 16 16 14 16 14 12 16 14 12 12 Not Recommended The label on your tool may include the following symbols.

Open the box and slide the saw out using the carrying handle 22 , as shown in Figure B. Fig. B 22 Carefully unpack the table saw and all loose items from the carton. Examine all parts to make sure that parts have not been damaged during shipping. If any parts are missing or damaged, contact your dealer to replace them before attempting to assemble the tool. COMPONENTS (FIG. A) WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part of it. Damage or personal injury could result. Refer to Figure A at the beginning of this manual for a complete list of components. Intended Use This table saw is intended for use by construction professionals for use in ripping, crosscutting, mitering, beveling and non-through cutting applications in wood, plastic, and other soft materials. DO NOT use for cutting metal, cement board, or masonry. DO NOT use dado sets, multiple blades or shaping cutter heads on this saw. DO NOT perform tapered cuts without a tapered jig accessory. DO NOT use the saw for plunge or cove cutting. DO NOT use under wet conditions or in presence of flammable liquids or gases. DO NOT let children come into contact with the tool. Supervision is required when inexperienced operators use this tool. ASSEMBLY WARNING: Shock Hazard. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn unit off and disconnect machine from power source before attempting to move it, change accessories or make any adjustments. An accidental start-up can cause injury. Assembly Order (Fig. A) 1. Unlock and remove the throat plate 15 . Refer to: Removing the Throat Plate section. 2.
