g ) For best results, always secure, clamp or anchor
the material to be cut.
h ) Cutting operations may cause material pieces
to fly. Flying particles can cause permanent eye
damage. ALWAYS wear eye protection.
i ) Always wear gloves when operating tool and
handling materials. The ends of the materials can be
sharp and cause serious personal injury.
j ) To reduce the risk of explosion, electric shock and
property damage, never cut gas lines, electrical
lines, or full water lines. Shut off water and drain lines
before making a cut.
k ) To reduce the risk of injury, always move blade to
the fully closed position before storing and any
time the DCE180 is not in use.
Additional Safety Information
WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part of
it. Damage or personal injury could result.
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
•
ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
•
ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
•
NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
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.
•
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. Direct particles away from face and body.
•
Use the appropriate dust extractor vacuum to remove
the vast majority of static and airborne dust. Failure
to remove static and airborne dust could contaminate the
working environment or pose an increased health risk to
the operator and those in close proximity.
•
Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may
lead to loss of control and injury.
•
Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
CAUTION: When not in use, close the blade, place
the tool on its side on a stable surface 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.

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start‑up can cause injury.
Mounting the DCE180 to a Surface (Fig. E)
nOTE: Mounting is optional and is best suited for continuous
use or if use will be in a permanent location.
This tool is designed to be mounted to a table or work surface
prior to use. Make sure the mounting method is suitable for the
surface type and is appropriate to the application of the tool.
1. Use the bottom of the tool as a template for the location
of the mounting hardware holes. See Fig. E for details.
2. Mark the location of the two 1/4" (6 mm) bench top
anchor points
12
on the surface as shown in Fig. E.
3. Secure the tool to the surface using appropriate
hardware
(not supplied) for the chosen surface
19
material, and the weight of the tool.
