Electrical Connection; Accessories - DeWalt DWS779 Guide D'utilisation

• PROPERLY SUPPORT LONG OR WIDE WORKPIECES. Loss of control of the
workpiece can cause injury.
• NEVER CROSS ARMS IN FRONT OF BLADE while using tool. Always make a dry run
(unpowered) before making a finish cut so that you can check the path of the blade or
severe personal injury may result.
• ADDITIONAL INFORMATION regarding the safe and proper operation of power tools
(i.e., a safety video) is available from the Power Tool Institute, 1300 Sumner Avenue,
Cleveland, OH 44115-2851 (www.powertoolinstitute.com). Information is also available
from the National Safety Council, 1121 Spring Lake Drive, Itasca, IL 60143-3201. Please
refer to the American National Standards Institute ANSI 01.1 Safety Requirements for
Woodworking Machines and the U.S. Department of Labor OSHA 1910.213 Regulations.
WARNING: Do not connect unit to electrical power source until complete instructions are
read and understood.
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.
WARNING: NEVER MAKE ANY CUT UNLESS THE MATERIAL IS SECURED ON THE
TABLE AND AGAINST THE FENCE.
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.

Electrical Connection

Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate marking. 120 volts, AC means that your
saw will operate on alternating current. The switch is susceptible to failure if direct current is
used. A voltage decrease of 10 percent or more will cause a loss of power and overheating.
All D WALT tools are factory tested. If this tool does not operate, check the power supply.
