OPERATION
Instructions for Use

WARNING: Always observe the safety instructions and
applicable regulations.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn
tool off and disconnect battery pack before making any
adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories.
An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Refer to saw Blades under Optional Accessories to select the blade that
best fits your needs.
Ensure the machine is placed to satisfy your ergonomic conditions in terms
of table height and stability. The machine site shall be chosen so that the
operator has a good overview and enough free surrounding space around
the machine that allows handling of the workpiece without any restrictions.
To reduce effects of vibration make sure the environment temperature is
not too cold, the machine and accessories are well maintained and the
workpiece size is suitable for this machine.
Proper Body and Hand Position (Fig. O1, O2)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS use
proper hand position as shown in Figure O1.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS hold
securely in anticipation of a sudden reaction.
• Never place hands near cutting area. Place hands no closer than
100 mm from the blade.
• Hold the workpiece tightly to the table and the fence when cutting.
Keep hands in position until the trigger has been released and the blade
has completely stopped.
• ALWAYS MAKE DRY RUNS (UNPOWERED) BEFORE FINISH CUTS SO THAT
YOU CAN CHECK THE PATH OF THE BLADE. DO NOT CROSS HANDS, AS
SHOWN IN FIGURE O2.
• Keep both feet firmly on the floor and maintain proper balance. As you
move the mitre arm left and right, follow it and stand slightly to the side
of the saw blade.

Dust Extraction (Fig. A2, D, AA)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn
tool off and disconnect battery pack before making any
adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories.
An accidental start-up can cause injury.

WARNING: Certain dust, such as oak or beech dust, is considered
carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment additives.
• Always use dust extraction.
• Provide for good ventilation of the work space.
• It is recommended to wear an appropriate respirator.

CAUTION: Never operate this saw unless the dust bag or
D WALT dust extractor is in place. Wood dust may create a
e
breathing hazard.

CAUTION: Check and clean the dust bag each time after using.

WARNING: When sawing aluminium, remove the dust bag, or
disconnect the dust extractor to avoid the risk of fire.
Your mitre saw has a built-in dust port
the dust bag , 33 mm nozzles or direct attachment to the D
40
AirLock (DWV9000-XJ).
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the materials to
be worked.
To Attach the Dust Bag (Fig. D)
1. Fit the dust bag 40 to the dust port
To Empty the Dust Bag (Fig. D)
1. Remove dust bag 40 from the saw and gently shake or tap the dust
bag to empty.
2. Reattach the dust bag back onto the dust port
You may notice that all the dust will not come free from the bag. This will
not affect cutting performance but will reduce the saw's dust collection
efficiency. To restore your saw's dust collection efficiency, depress the
spring inside the dust bag when you are emptying it and tap it on the side
of the trash can or dust receptacle.
External Dust Extraction (Fig. AA)
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental to health or
carcinogenic, use a special dust Class M vacuum cleaner.
Connecting to an AirLock Compatable Dust Extractor (Fig. AA)
The dust port on your mitre saw is compatable with the D
36
AirLock connection system. The AirLock allows for a fast, secure connection
between the dust extractor hose 67
