Motor

Your DEWALT tool is powered by a DEWALT-built motor. Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate markings.

Voltage decrease of more than 10% will cause loss of power and over- heating. All DEWALT tools are factory tested; if this tool does not oper- ate, check your battery pack.

Dual Range Switch (Fig. 2)

This dual range saw offers a choice of speeds for greatly improved cutting rates in various metals and a lock position. Note that the High Range (2) setting is more efficient in softer materials such as wood, while the Low Range (1) setting is best for cutting metals.

LOW RANGE - For cutting metal sheet, pipe, conduit, etc.

HIGH RANGE - For cutting wood, plastic, composition boards and other similar materials.
