DeWalt DWE6000 Instruction Manual page 31

• Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power supply.
While the tool may appear to work, the electrical components
of the AC rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard to the
operator.
• If cutting into existing walls or other blind areas where
electrical wires may exist is unavoidable, disconnect all
fuses or circuit breakers feeding this worksite.
• Always make sure the work surface is free from nails and
other foreign objects. Cutting into a nail can cause the bit and
the tool to jump and damage the bit.
• Never lay workpiece on top of hard surfaces like concrete,
stone etc... Protruding cutting bit may cause tool to jump.
• Do not leave tool running. Operate tool only when hand-
held.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size for safety.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss
of power and overheating. When using more than one extension
to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension
contains at least the minimum wire size. The following table shows
the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord

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.
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.
