Electrical Connection; Accessories - DeWalt DW715 Guide D'utilisation

• DON'T - Attempt to operate on anything but designated voltage.
• DON'T - Operate unless all clamp handles are tight.
• DON'T - Use blades larger or smaller than those which are recommended.
• DON'T - Wedge anything against fan to hold motor shaft.
• DON'T - Force cutting action. (Stalling or partial stalling of motor can cause major
damage. Allow motor to reach full speed before cutting.)
• DON'T - Cut ferrous metals (Those with any iron or steel content) or any masonry.
• DON'T - Use abrasive wheels. The excessive heat and abrasive particles generated by
them will damage the saw.
• DON'T - Allow anyone to stand behind saw.
• DON'T - Apply lubricants to the blade when it's running.
• DON'T - Place either hand in the blade area when the saw is connected to the power
source.
• DON'T - Use blades rated less than 4800 R.P.M.
• DO NOT - Cut small pieces without clamping. Keep hands 6" or more from blade.
• DON'T - Operate saw without guards in place.
• DON'T - Perform any operation freehand.
• DON'T - Reach around or behind saw blade.
• DON'T - Place hands closer than 6 inches from the saw blade.
• DO NOT - Reach underneath the saw unless it is turned off and unplugged. The saw
blade is exposed on the underside of the saw.
• DO NOT - Move either hand from saw or workpiece or raise arm until blade has stopped.
• DO NOT - Use lubricants or cleaners (particularly spray or aerosol) in the vicinity of the
plastic guard. The polycarbonate material used in the guard is subject to attack
by certain chemicals.
• Never use without kerf plate, and replace when kerf plate is damaged because small
chip accumulation under saw may interfere with saw blade or may cause instability of
workpiece when cutting.
CAUTION: Do not connect unit to electrical power source until complete instructions are
read and understood.
CAUTION: Wear appropriate personal hearing protection during use. Under some
conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known 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 (CCA).
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 disburse 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.

rent is used. A voltage decrease of 10 percent or more will cause a loss of power and over-
heating. All D WALT tools are factory tested. If this tool does not operate, check the power
E
supply.
