Your jigsaw DW341/DW343 has been designed for professional cutting of wood, steel, aluminium, plastic and ceramic material. Never connect the live (L) or neutral (N) wires to the earth pin marked E or . For 115 V units with a power rating exceeding 1500 W, we recommend to fit a plug to BS4343 standard. Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate. Your DEWALT tool is double insulated in accordance with EN 60745; therefore no earth wire is required. 115 V units have to be operated via a failsafe isolating transformer with an earth screen between the primary and secondary winding. If an extension cable is required, use an approved extension cable suitable for the power input of this machine (see technical data). Should your mains plug need replacing and you are competent to do this, proceed as instructed below. If you are in doubt, contact an authorized DEWALT repair agent or a qualified electrician. Cut off the plug and dispose of it safely; a plug with bared copper conductors is dangerous if engaged in a live socket outlet. Only fit 13 Amperes BS1363A approved plugs fitted with the correctly rated fuse (1). The cable wire colours, or a letter, will be marked at the connection points of most good quality plugs. Before replacing the top cover of the mains plug ensure that the cable restraint (3) is holding the outer sheath of the cable firmly and that the two leads are correctly fixed at the terminal screws.
