It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure. 10 WARNING: The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period. An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.

Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries. 2.Consider work area environment. Do not expose the tool to rain. Do not use the tool in damp or wet conditions. Keep the work area well lit (250–300 Lux). Do not use the tool where there is a risk of causing fire or explosion, e.g., in the presence of flammable liquids and gases. 3.Guard against electric shock. Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces (e.g., pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerators). When using the tool under extreme conditions (e.g., high humidity, when metal swarf is being produced, etc.), electric safety can be improved by inserting an isolating transformer or a (FI) earthleakage circuit-breaker. 4.Keep other persons away. Do not let persons, especially children, not involved in the work, touch the tool or the extension cord and keep them away from the work area. 5.Store idle tools. When not in use, tools must be stored in a dry place and locked up securely, out of reach of children. 6.Do not force the tool. It will do the job better and safer at the rate to which it was intended. 7.Use the right tool. Do not force small tools to do the job of a heavy duty tool. Do not use tools for purposes not intended; for example do not use circular saws to cut tree limbs or logs. 8.Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, as these can be caught in moving parts. Non-skid footwear is recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. 11. Do not abuse the cord. Never yank the cord to disconnect it from the socket. Keep the cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Never carry the tool by its cord. 12. Secure work. Where possible use clamps or a vice to hold the work. It is safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool. 13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. 14. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tools periodically and if damaged have them repaired by an authorized service facility. Keep handles and switches dry, clean and free from oil and grease. 15. Disconnect tools. When not in use, before servicing and when changing accessories such as blades, bits and cutters, disconnect tools from the power supply. 16.Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form the habit of checking to see that adjusting keys and wrenches are removed from the tool before operating the tool. 17. Avoid unintentional starting. Do not carry the tool with a finger on the switch. Be sure that the tool is in the “off” position before plugging in. 18. Use outdoor extension leads. Before use, inspect the extension cable and replace if damaged. When the tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords intended for outdoor use and marked accordingly. 19. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate the tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs or alcohol. 20. Check for damaged parts. Before use, carefully check the tool and mains cable to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service centre unless otherwise indicated in this instruction manual. Have defective switches replaced by an authorized service centre. Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Never attempt any repairs yourself. WARNING! The use of any accessory or attachment or performance of any operation with this tool other 11 English than those recommended in this instruction manual may present a risk of personal injury. • Check periodically that the motor air slots are clean and free of chips. 21.

Additional Safety Rules for Mitre Saws • The machine is provided with a special configured power supply cord which can only be replaced by the manufacturer or its authorised service agent. • Before starting any cutting operation, ensure that the machine is located on an flat and stable surface. • Do not use the saw to cut other materials than those recommended by the manufacturer. • Do not operate the machine without guards in position, or if guards do not function or are not maintained properly. • Ensure that the arm is securely fixed when performing bevel cuts. • Keep the floor area around the machine level, wellmaintained and free of loose materials, e.g., chips and cutoffs. • Use correctly sharpened saw blades. Observe the maximum speed mark on the saw blade. The marked maximum speed shall always be greater than or at least equal to the speed marked on the rating plate. • Make sure all locking knobs and clamp handles are tight before starting any operation. • Never place either hand in the blade area when the saw is connected to the electrical power source. • Never attempt to stop a machine in motion rapidly by jamming a tool or other means against the blade; serious accidents can occur. • Before using any accessory consult the instruction manual. The improper use of an accessory can cause damage. • Use a holder or wear gloves when handling a saw blade or rough material. • Ensure that the saw blade is mounted correctly before use. • Make sure that the blade rotates in the correct direction. • 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. • Never perform any cleaning or maintenance work when the machine is still running and the head is not in the rest position. • When possible, always mount the machine to a bench. • If you use an LED to indicate the cutting line, make sure that the LED is of class 2 according to EN 62471. Do not replace an LED diode with a different type. If damaged, have the LED repaired by an authorised repair agent. •The front section of the guard is louvered for visibility while cutting. Although the louvers dramatically reduce flying debris, they are openings in the guard and safety glasses should be worn at all times when viewing through the louvers. • Connect the saw to a dust collection device when sawing wood. Always consider factors which influence exposure of dust such as: -–type of material to be machined (chip board produces more dust than wood); -–sharpness of the saw blade; -–correct adjustment of the saw blade. -–dust extractor with air velocity not less than 20 m/s. Ensure that the local extraction as well as hoods, baffles and chutes are properly adjusted. • Please 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; • Machine maintenance shall be conducted periodically; • Provide adequate general or localized lighting; • Ensure the operator is adequately trained in the use, adjustment and operation of the machine; •Ensure that any spacers and spindle rings are suitable for the purpose as stated in this manual. •Refrain from removing any cut-offs or other parts of the workpiece from the cutting area while the machine is running and the saw head is not in the rest position. • Never cut workpieces shorter than 200 mm. • Consider applying specially designed noise-reduction blades. •Without additional support the machine is designed to accept the maximum workpiece size of: • Do not use HIGH SPEED STEEL blades. – Height 89 mm by width 302 mm by length 600 mm • Do not use cracked or damaged saw blades. –Longer workpieces need to be supported by suitable additional table, e.g. DE7023. Always clamp the workpiece safely. • Do not use any abrasive or diamond discs. • Never use your saw without the kerf plate. • Raise the blade from the kerf in the workpiece prior to releasing the switch. • Do not wedge anything against the fan to hold the motor shaft. • The blade guard on your saw will automatically raise when the arm is brought down; it will lower over the blade when head lock up release lever (12) is pushed. • Never raise the blade guard manually unless the saw is switched off. The guard can be raised by hand when installing or removing saw blades or for inspection of the saw. 12 •In case of an accident or machine failure immediately turn the machine off and pull the plug. •Report the failure and mark the machine in suitable form to prevent other people from using the defective machine. • When the saw blade is blocked caused by abnormal feed force during cutting, switch the machine off and disconnect from power supply. Remove the workpiece and ensure that the saw blade runs free. Switch the machine on and start new cutting operation with reduced feed force. • Never cut light alloy (i.e., aluminium, magnesium). It is not allowed for this saw. English • Check for damage to the tool, parts or accessories which may have occurred during transport. • Take the time to thoroughly read and understand this manual prior to operation. •Whenever the situation allows, mount the machine to a bench using bolts with a diameter of 8 mm bolts and 80 mm in length.

Body and hand position Proper positioning of your body and hands when operating the mitre saw will make cutting easier, more accurate and safer. • Never place your hands near the cutting area. 16 • Place your hands no closer than 150 mm from the blade. • Hold the workpiece tightly to the table and the fence when cutting. Keep your hands in position until the switch has been released and the blade has completely stopped. • Always make dry runs (without power) before finish cuts so that you can check the path of the blade. • Do not cross your hands. • Keep both feet firmly on the floor and maintain proper balance. • As you move the saw arm left and right, follow it and stand slightly to the side of the saw blade. • Sight through the guard louvres when following a pencil line. MIter Control (fig. E1) The mitre lever (4) and mitre latch (5) allows the saw to mitre 60 left and 50 right. To miter the saw: • Release the mitre lever (4) and depress the mitre latch (5) and set the mitre angle desired on the miter scale. • Push down on the mitre lever (4) to lock the saw table in place. Bevel Control (fig. H1, H4) The bevel latch levers (20) and bevel clamp handle (21) allows the saw to bevel 48º left and right. Your saw has two bevel latch levers (20), one on either side of the rear support housing. Only one needs to be used to move the bevel to either direction. The bevel clamp handle (21) is on top of the rear support housing. To bevel the saw: • Loosen the bevel clamp handle (21). Lift one of the levers to approximately 45º and set the bevel angle desired on the bevel scale (15). Two bevel scales are provided for convenience. • Lock the bevel clamp handle (21) to lock the bevel in place. The bevel latch levers (20) can be lifted vertically to override the common stop angles. Slide Stop (fig. T) The slide stop (18) control positions your saws rails so that the largest possible verticle moldings can be cut. ALWAYS TIGHTEN THE RAIL LOCK KNOB WHEN USING THE SLIDE STOP TO PREVENT THE SLIDE SYSTEM FROM MOVING UNINTENTIONALLY Rail Lock Knob (fig. A1, T) The rail lock knob (16) allows you to lock the saw head firmly to keep it from sliding on the rails. This is necessary when making certain cuts or when transporting the saw. Grooving Stop (fig. A1, R) The grooving stop (17) allows for groove cutting. Flipping the lever toward the front of the saw and adjusting the thumbscrew changes the depth of the groove cut. Flipping the lever toward the rear of the saw bypasses the grooving stop. English Head Lock Down Pin (fig. A2) To lock the saw head in the down position, push the head down, push the pin (22) in and release the saw head. This will hold the saw head safely down for moving the saw from place to place. To release, press the saw head down and pull the pin out. 45° both left and right. If any intermediate angle is required hold the head firmly and lock by tightening the mitre lever. • Always ensure that the mitre lever is locked tightly before cutting. • Proceed as for a vertical straight cross-cut. Use of XPSTM LED Worklight System (fig. A1, A2) NOTE: The mitre saw must be connected to a power source. The XPSTM LED Worklight System is equipped with an on/off switch (6). The XPSTM LED Worklight System is independent of the mitre saw’s trigger switch. The light does not need to be on in order to operate the saw. To cut through an existing pencil line on a piece of wood: 1.Turn on the XPSTM system, then pull down on the operating handle (11) 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. BASIC SAW CUTS Vertical straight cross cut (fig. A1 & L) • Release the mitre lever (4) and depress the mitre latch (5) to release the mitre arm. • Engage the mitre latch at the 0° position and tighten the mitre lever. • Place the wood to be cut against the fence (3 & 8). • Take hold of the operating handle (11) and depress the head lock up release lever (12) to release the head. • Press the trigger switch (1) to start the motor. • Depress the head to allow the blade to cut through the timber and enter the plastic kerf plate (9). • After completing the cut, release the switch and wait for the saw blade to come to a complete standstill before returning the head to its upper rest position. Performing a sliding cut (fig. A1, M) The guide rail allows cutting larger workpieces from 76.2 mm up to 111.8 mm using an out-down-back sliding motion. • Release the rail lock knob (16). • Pull the saw head towards you and switch the tool on. • Lower the saw blade into the workpiece and push the head back to complete the cut. • Proceed as described above. WARNING: • Do not perform sliding cuts on workpieces smaller than 76.2 mm. • Remember to lock the saw head in the rear position when the sliding cuts are finished. Mitre cross-cut (fig. A1 & N) • Release the mitre lever (4) and depress the mitre latch (5). • Move the arm left or right to the required angle. The mitre latch will automatically locate at 10°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.62° and WARNING: When mitring the end of a piece of wood with a small off-cut, position the wood to ensure that the off-cut is to the side of the blade with the greater angle to the fence; i.e. left mitre, off-cut to the right right mitre, off-cut to the left. Bevel cuts (fig. A1, A2 & O) Bevel angles can be set from 48° left to 48° right and can be cut with the mitre arm set between zero and a maximum of 45° mitre position right or left. Left bevel • Slide the upper part of the left side fence (3) to the left as far as it will go. • Loosen the bevel clamp handle (21), lift the bevel latch (20) and set the bevel as desired. • The bevel latch automatically locates at 22.5°, 33.85° and 45°. If any intermediate angle is required, hold the head firmly and lock by tightening the bevel clamp handle (21). • Proceed as for a vertical straight cross-cut. Right bevel • Slide the upper part of the right side fence (8) to the right as far as it will go. • Proceed as for a left bevel cut. Quality of cut The smoothness of any cut depends on a number of variables, e.g. the material being cut. When smoothest cuts are desired for moulding 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 creep while cutting; clamp itsecurely in place. Always let the blade come to a full stopbefore raising the arm. If small fibres of wood still split out atthe rear of the workpiece, stick a piece of masking tape on thewood where the cut will be made. Saw through the tape andcarefully remove tape when finished. Clamping the workpiece (fig. A6, U) 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. 17 English CAUTION: Always use a work clamp to maintain control and reduce the risk of personal injury and workpiece damage. Use the material clamp (30) 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.Insert it into the hole behind the fence. The clamp should be facing toward the back of the mitre saw. The groove on the clamp rod should be fully inserted into the base. Ensure this groove is fully inserted into the base of the mitre saw. If the groove is visible, the clamp will not be secure. 2.Rotate the clamp 180° toward the front of the mitre saw. 3.Loosen the knob to adjust the clamp up or down, then use the fine adjust 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. A5) • Always support long pieces. • For best results, use the extension work support (29) to extend the table width of your saw (available from your dealer as an option). Support long workpieces using any convenient means such as saw-horses or similar devices to keep the ends from dropping. Cutting picture frames, shadow boxes & other four sided projects (fig. P1 & P2) Trim moulding and other frames 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 fig. P1. The joint shown has been made using either bevel adjustment. -Using mitre adjustment The same cut can be made by mitring right and left with the broad surface against the fence. The two sketches (fig. P1 & P2) are for four side 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. For a shape that is not shown in the chart, divide 180° by the number of sides to determine the mitre or bevel angle. Angle mitre or bevel 45° 36° 30° 25.7° 22.5° 20° 18° Compound mitre (fig. Q1 & Q2) A compound mitre is a cut made using a mitre angle (fig. P2) and a bevel angle (fig. P1) at the same time. This is the type of cut used to make frames or boxes with slanting sides like the one shown in fig. Q1. ARNING: If the cutting angle varies from cut to W cut, check that the bevel clamp knob and the mitre lock knob are securely tightened. These knobs must be tightened after making any changes in bevel or mitre (fig. Q1 & Q2). • The chart shown below will assist you in selecting the proper bevel and mitre settings for common compound mitre cuts. To use the chart, select the desired angle “A” (fig. Q2) 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. • Practice fitting the cut pieces together. • Example: To make a 4 sided box with 25° exterior angles (angle “A”) (fig. Q2), use the upper right arc. Find 25° on the arc scale. Follow the horizontal intersecting line to either side to get the mitre angle setting on the saw (23°). Likewise follow the vertical intersecting line to the top or bottom to get the bevel angle setting on the saw (40°). Always try cuts on a few scrap pieces of wood to verify the settings on the saw. SQUARE BOX 6 SIDED BOX 8 SIDED BOX SET THIS BEVEL ANGLE ON SAW 18 ANGLE OF SIDE OF BOX (ANGLE"A") -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. The wood is positioned with the broad flat side against the table and the narrow edge against the fence. No. of sides 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 SET THIS MITER ANGLE ON SAW English Cutting base mouldings The cutting of base moulding is performed at a 45° bevel angle. • Always make a dry run without power before making any cuts. • All cuts are made with the back of the moulding laying flat on the saw. Inside corner -Left side • Position the moulding with top of the moulding against the fence. • Save the left side of the cut. -Right side • Position the moulding with the bottom of the moulding against the fence. • Save the left side of the cut. Outside corner -Left side • Position the moulding with the bottom of the moulding against the fence. • Save the right side of the cut. -Right side • Position the moulding with top of the moulding against the fence. • Save the right side of the cut. Cutting crown mouldings The cutting of crown moulding is performed in a compound mitre. In order to achieve extreme accuracy, your saw has pre-set angle positions at 31.62° mitre and 33.85° bevel. These settings are for standard crown mouldings with 52° angles at the top and 38° angles at the bottom. • Make test cuts using scrap material before doing the final cuts. • All cuts are made in a left bevel and with the back of the moulding against the base. Inside corner -Left side • Top of the moulding against the fence. • Mitre right. • Save the left side of the cut. -Right side • Bottom of the moulding against the fence. • Mitre left. • Save the left side of the cut. Outside corner -Left side • Bottom of the moulding against the fence. • Mitre left. • Save the right side of the cut. -Right side • Top of the moulding against the fence. • Mitre right. • Save the right side of the cut. Grooving (fig. R) Your saw is equipped with a grooving stop (17) and thumbscrew (59) to allow for groove cutting. • Flip the grooving stop (17) towards the front of the saw. • Adjust the thumbscrew (59) to set the depth of the groove cut. It might be necessary to release the lock nut (60) first. • Place a piece of scrap material of approx. 5 cm between fence and workpiece in order to perform a straight groove cut. Special Set-up for Wide Crosscuts (fig. A1, S1, S2) Your saw can cut very wide (up to 391 mm) workpieces when a special set up is used. To set the saw up for these workpieces, follow these steps: • Remove both left and right sliding fences from the saw and set aside. To remove them, unscrew the fence knobs several turns and slide each fence outward. Adjust and lock the miter control so that it is at 0 degrees miter. • Remove backfence screws (64) from right rear foot and install them into the right hand fence (62) screw holes. WARNING: Do not cut material using the special setup without properly installing the backfence screws (64), otherwise the material will not be supported properly and may cause loss of control and possible injury. • Make a platform using a piece of 38 mm thick particleboard or similar flat strong 38 mm thick wood to the dimensions: 368 x 660 mm. The platform must be flat otherwise the material could move during cutting and cause injury. • Mount the 368 x 660 mm platform to the saw using four 76.2 mm long wood screws (64) through the holes in the base fence. Four screws must be used to properly secure the material. When the special set up is used, the platform will be cut into two pieces. Ensure the screws are tightened properly otherwise material could loosen and cause injury. Ensure the platform is firmly flat on the table, against the fence, and centered evenly from left to right. WARNING: Ensure the saw is mounted firmly to a stable flat surface. Failure to do so could cause the saw to be unstable and fall causing personal injury. • Place the workpiece to be cut on top of the platform mounted to the table. Ensure the workpiece is firmly against the backfence. • Secure the material before cutting. Cut slowly through the material using a out-down-and-back motion. Failure to clamp securely or cut slowly could result in the material coming loose and causing injury. After several cuts are made at various miter angles other than 0º, the platform may weaken and not properly support the work. Install a new, unused platform to the saw after presetting the desired miter angle. 19 English WARNING: Continued use of a platform with several kerfs may cause loss of material control and possible injury. Dust extraction (fig. A2 & A3) • Fit the dustbag (27) onto the dust spout (26). 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 the non-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. WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, regularly clean the table top. WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, regularly clean the dust collection system. WARNING! Whenever possible, connect a dust extraction device designed in accordance with the relevant regulations regarding dust emission. Saw blades To obtain the stated cutting capacities, always use 250 mm saw blades with 30 mm arbor holes. Transporting (fig. A1, A2 & B) In order to conveniently carry the mitre saw, a carrying handle (10) has been included on the top of the saw arm. • To transport the saw, lower the head and depress the lock down pin (22). • Lock the rail lock knob with the saw head in the front position, lock the mitre arm in the full left mitre angle, slide the fence (3 & 8) completely inward and lock the bevel lever (20) with the saw head in the vertical position to make the tool as compact as possible. • Always use the carrying handle (10) or the hand indentations (24) shown in fig. B to transport the saw. MAINTENANCE Your DeWALT power tool has been designed to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance.
