WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE
OPERATING SAW.
WARNING: When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always
be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the
following:
Grounding Instructions
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances. Do not modify plug provided — if it will not fit the outlet, have the
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without
yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live
terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles
that accept the tool’s plug.
REPAIR OR REPLACE DAMAGED OR WORN CORDS IMMEDIATELY.
Grounded tools intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than 150
volts: This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one
illustrated in Figure A. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in
Figure A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Figures B and C,
may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Figure B if a properly
grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid
ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.
The adapter (C) is not for use in Canada.
240 Volt Operation
The motor supplied with your saw is a dual voltage, 120, 240 volt
motor. If it is desired to operate your saw at 240 volts, single
phase, it is necessary to reconnect the motor leads in the motor
junction box by following the instructions given on the motor
nameplate.
WARNING: Make sure motor is disconnected from power
source before reconnecting motor leads.
It is also necessary to replace the 120 volt plug, supplied with the
motor, with a UL/CSA listed plug suitable for 240 volts and the
rated current of the saw as shown. Contact your local D E WALT Service Center or qualified
electrician for proper procedures to install the plug. The saw must comply with all local and
national electrical codes after the 240 volt plug is installed.
The saw with the 240 volt plug should only be connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug illustrated. No adapter is available or should be used with the 240
volt plug.
Important Safety Instructions
• KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys
and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.
• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
• DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet
locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept safe distance from work area.
• MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter
keys.
• DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
• USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number,
the heavier the cord.

• WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or
other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear
protective hair covering to contain long hair.
• ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.
Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses.
• SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical.
• DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
• DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when changing accessories, such as blades, bits,
cutters, and the like.
• REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in off position
before plugging in.
• USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the instruction manual for recommended
accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
• NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped over or if the cutting
tool is unintentionally contacted.
• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended
