GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! Read and understand all instructions.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA

Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.

Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user. Applicable only to

Class I (grounded) tools.

Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other.) This plug will fit in a 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 a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system. Applicable only to Class II (double insulated) tools. The DW367, DW368 and DW369 are double insulated tools.

Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from

The DeWalt DW367 and DW369 are two powerful tools in the extensive lineup of DeWalt’s woodworking and construction equipment. Designed with durability and performance in mind, these models deliver impressive features and advanced technologies to cater to both professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts.

The DeWalt DW367 is a lightweight, cordless saw designed for versatility and ease of use. One of its primary features is its high-performance 18V battery, which offers extended run time and rapid charging capabilities. This allows users to work longer without the interruption of frequent battery changes. The DW367 is equipped with a powerful motor that generates sufficient speed and torque, enabling it to cut through various materials, including wood, metal, and composites, with precision.

One of the standout technologies integrated into the DW367 is its ergonomic design. The saw comes with a comfortable grip that reduces fatigue during prolonged use, making it ideal for extensive projects. Additionally, the built-in LED light illuminates the cutting area, ensuring accuracy and visibility even in low-light conditions. The tool also features a tool-free blade change system, allowing users to switch blades quickly and efficiently without the need for additional tools.

On the other hand, the DeWalt DW369 is engineered for more demanding tasks. This model boasts advanced electronics that provide overload protection, preventing the motor from overheating and extending the tool's lifespan. It also offers a higher cutting capacity, making it suitable for thicker materials and more intricate cuts.

A notable characteristic of the DW369 is its adjustable bevel and depth cut features. These allow users to make precise bevel cuts and adjust the depth of the cut according to the material being worked with. This flexibility is essential for professionals who require accuracy and versatility in their work.

Both models leverage DeWalt's commitment to safety, incorporating an electric brake that instantly stops the blade upon disengaging the switch, minimizing the risk of accidents. Furthermore, each tool comes with a robust housing that enhances durability, ensuring they can withstand the rigors of job site conditions.

In summary, the DeWalt DW367 and DW369 are exemplary tools that combine power, versatility, and safety.
