to the nearest authorized D WALT service center for repair. The riving knife must be
E
in alignment with the saw blade and the anti-kickback assembly must stop a kickback
once it has started. Check their action before ripping by pushing the wood under the
anti-kickback assembly. The teeth must prevent the wood from being pulled toward the
front of the saw.
d. Plastic and composite (like hardboard) materials may be cut on your saw. However,
since these are usually quite hard and slippery, the anti-kickback pawls may not stop
a kickback. Therefore, be especially attentive to following proper set up and cutting
procedures for ripping.
e. Use saw blade guard assembly, anti-kickback assembly and riving knife for every
operation for which it can be used, including all through-sawing.
f. Push the workpiece past the saw blade prior to release.
g. NEVER rip a workpiece that is twisted or warped, or does not have a straight edge to
guide along the fence.
h. NEVER saw a large workpiece that cannot be controlled.
i. NEVER use the fence as a guide or length stop when crosscutting.
j. NEVER saw a workpiece with loose knots, flaws, nails or other foreign objects.
k. NEVER rip a workpiece shorter than 10" (254 mm).
l. NEVER use a dull blade – replace or have resharpened.
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 (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. Always operate tool in well-ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal.
Use dust collection system wherever possible.
