Important Safety Instructions

WARNING: When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should

always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury,

including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

Double Insulation

Double insulated tools are constructed throughout with two separate layers of electrical

insulation or one double thickness of insulation between you and the tool’s electrical sys-

tem. Tools built with this insulation system are not intended to be grounded. As a result,

your tool is equipped with a two prong plug which permits you to use extension cords with-

out concern for maintaining a ground connection.

NOTE: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when oper-

ating this tool. The insulation system is for added protection against injury resulting from a

possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.

CAUTION: WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.

Repair or replace damaged cords.

Polarized Plugs

Polarized plugs (one blade is wider than the other) are used on equipment to reduce the

risk of electric shock. When provided, this plug will fit in the polarized outlet only one way.

If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a

qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

Safety Instructions For All Tools

• KEEP GUARD IN PLACE and in working order.

• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that

keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from spindle before turning tool on.

• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

• DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet

locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.

• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept at a safe distance from work area.

• MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing

starter keys.

• DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and be safer at the rate for which it was

designed.

• USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not

designed.

• WEAR PROPER APPAREL. No loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or

other jewelry to get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear

protective hair covering to contain long hair.

• ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation

is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety

glasses.

• SECURE WORK. Use clamps or vise when you cannot secure the workpiece on the

table and against the fence by hand or when your hand will be dangerously close to

the blade (within 6”).

• DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest per-

formance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

• DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when changing accessories such as blades,

bits, cutters, etc.

• REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in OFF

position before plugging in.

• USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the instruction manual for recom-

mended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to per-

sons.

• NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cut-

ting tool is unintentionally contacted.

• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that

is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and

perform its intended function—check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving

parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its opera-

tion. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced. Do

not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off.

• NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave

tool until it comes to a complete stop.

• DO NOT OPERATE ELECTRIC TOOLS NEAR FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR IN

GASEOUS OR EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES. Motors in these tools may spark and

ignite fumes.

• EXTENSION CORDS. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using

an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product

will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power

and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord

length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The small-

er the gage number, the heavier the cord.

Additional Safety Rules For Miter Saws

CAUTION: FAILURE TO HEED THESE WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL

INJURY AND SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE SAW.

• DO - Protect electric supply line with at least a 15 ampere time-delay fuse or a circuit

breaker.

• DO - Make certain the blade rotates in the correct direction and that the teeth at the

bottom of the blade are pointing to the rear of the miter saw.

• DO - Be sure all clamp handles are tight before starting any operation.

• DO - Be sure all blade and clamp washers are clean and recessed sides of collars are

against blade. Tighten arbor screw securely.

• DO - Keep saw blade sharp.

• DO - Keep motor air slots free of chips and dirt.

stopped.

• DO NOT - Use without Kerf Plate or when kerf slot is wider than 3/8".

CAUTION: Wear appropriate personal hearing protection during use. Under some

conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.

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.

• 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.

For your convenience and safety, the following warning labels are on your miter saw.

Electrical Connection

Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate marking. 120 volts, AC/DC means

that your saw will operate on alternating or direct current. A voltage decrease of 10 percent

or more will cause a loss of power and overheating. All D

EWALT tools are factory tested. If

this tool does not operate, check the power supply.

Unpacking Your Saw

Check the contents of your miter saw carton to make sure that you have received all parts.

In addition to this instruction manual, the carton should contain:

1. One No. DW705 miter saw.

2. One D

EWALT 12" dia. saw blade

3. One blade wrench in wrench pocket shown in Figure 2.
