• Do not use cutting fluids with this electric tool. The fluids could ignite,
cause electrical shock, or chemically attack the plastic lower guard.
• Be aware of cutting chips and the material being cut. They may be
sharp and hot. Allow cut off parts to cool before handling
• Before using, inspect the blade for cracks or flaws. If a crack or flaw is
evident—discard the blade! The blade should also be inspected
whenever you think the tool or blade may have been dropped.
• Never start the tool with a person in line with the blade. This includes
the operator.
• In operation, avoid bouncing the blade or giving it rough treatment.
If this occurs, stop the tool and inspect the blade.
• Clean your tool periodically following the procedure in this manual.
• Do not remove blade guards.
• ALWAYS USE THE VISE OR SPECIAL FIXTURE TO CLAMP
WORK SECURELY. Other aids such as the supplied auxiliary vertical
clamp, spring, bar, or C-clamps may be appropriate for certain sizes
and shapes of workpiece. Use care in selecting and placing these
clamps and make a dry run before making a cut. The auxiliary vertical
clamp must be used when cutting on the upstroke of the blade See
Auxiliary Vertical Clamp section of this manual.
• NEVER CUT MAGNESIUM WITH THIS TOOL.
• Use tool in a well-ventilated area.
• Turn tool off before removing any pieces from the base.
• DO NOT CUT ELECTRICALLY LIVE MATERIAL.
• Use only genuine D WALT14" (355mm) carbide tipped metal cutting
E
blades. Never use abrasive cut off wheels or other type of saw blade.
• Do not cut concrete, stone, brick, tile or ceramic.
• Make sure the blade lock (Fig. 4) is released before switch is turned on.
• Keep hands and body away from rotating blade.
• Make sure blade is not contacting the work piece before the switch is
turned on.
• DO NOT CUT material LESS than 18 gauge (.0478", 1.2 mm) in
thickness.
• DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL NEAR FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS,
GASES OR DUST. Sparks or hot chips from cutting or arcing motor

brushes may ignite combustible materials.
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.
Pow e r Supply
Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate marking.
120 volts, "60 Hz" means alternating current (normal 120 volt, 60
Hz house current).
A voltage decrease of more than 10% will cause a loss of power and
overheating.
Cut t ing Ca pa c it y
The wide vise opening and high pivot point provide cutting capacity
for many large pieces. Use the cutting capacity chart to determine
total maximum size of cuts that can be made.
CAUTION: CERTAIN LARGE, CIRCULAR OR IRREGULARLY
SHAPED OBJECTS MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL HOLDING
MEANS IF THEY CANNOT BE HELD SECURELY IN THE VISE.
