• Keep your body positioned to either side of the blade,
but not in line with the saw blade.
KICKBACK could cause
the saw to jump backwards (see Causes and Operator
Prevention of Kickback and KICKBACK ).
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
avoided.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
• Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
• Wear a dust mask. Exposure to dust particles can cause
breathing difficulty and possible injury.
• 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.
•
When not in use, place circular saw on a stable surface,
shoe side down, 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.
Residual Risks
The following risks are inherent to the use of circular saws.
• Injuries caused by touching the rotating parts or hot part of
the tool.
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.
• Risk of squeezing fingers when changing the accessory.
• Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when
working in wood.
Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only.
Always check that the battery pack voltage corresponds to the
voltage on the rating plate. Also make sure that the voltage of
your charger corresponds to that of your mains.
Your D
e
WALT charger is double insulated in
accordance with EN60335; therefore no earth wire
is required.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a
specially prepared cord available through the
D
e
WALT
service organisation.
Mains Plug Replacement
(U.K. & Ireland Only)
If a new mains plug needs to be fitted:
• Safely dispose of the old plug.
• Connect the brown lead to the live terminal in the plug.
• Connect the blue lead to the neutral terminal.
WARNING: No connection is to be made to the
earth terminal.
Follow the fitting instructions supplied with good quality plugs.
Recommended fuse: 3 A.
Using an Extension Cable
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. Use an approved extension cable suitable for
the power input of your charger (see
Technical Data ). The
minimum conductor size is 1 mm 2 ; the maximum length
is 30 m.
When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable completely.

Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important
safety and operating instructions for compatible battery
chargers (refer to
Technical Data ).
• Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary
markings on charger, battery pack, and product using
battery pack.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get
inside charger. Electric shock may result.
WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current
device with a residual current rating of 30mA or less.
CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury,
charge only D
e
WALT rechargeable batteries. Other types of
batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.
CAUTION: Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
NOTICE: Under certain conditions, with the charger
plugged into the power supply, the exposed charging
contacts inside the charger can be shorted by foreign
material. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such
as, but not limited to, steel wool, aluminum foil or any
buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from
charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from the
power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity.
Unplug charger before attempting to clean
• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any
chargers other than the ones in this manual.
The charger
and battery pack are specifically designed to work together.
•
These chargers are not intended for any uses other than
charging
D
e
WALT rechargeable batteries. Any other uses
may result in risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
• Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
• Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting
charger.
This will reduce risk of damage to electric plug
and cord.
•
Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.
• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely
necessary.
Use of improper extension cord could result in risk
of fire,electric shock, or electrocution.
