Cutting depth 57.5 mmNo load speed 3,900 min-1Overall length (with BL1830) 332 mmRated voltage D.C. 18 VNet weight 2.9 kg Due to our continuing program of research and development, the specifications herein are subject to change without notice. Specifications and battery cartridge may differ from country to country. Weight, with battery cartridge, according to EPTA-Procedure 01/2003ENE022-1Intended useThe tool is intended for cutting in mild steel. ENG905-1NoiseThe typical A-weighted noise level determinedaccording to EN60745:Sound pressure level (LpA) : 78 dB (A)Uncertainty (K) : 3 dB (A)The noise level under working may exceed 80 dB (A).Wear ear protectionENG900-1VibrationThe vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum)determined according to EN60745:Work mode : cutting metalVibration emission (ah,M) : 2.5 m/s2 or lessUncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s2ENG901-1 The declared vibration emission value has beenmeasured in accordance with the standard testmethod and may be used for comparing one toolwith another. The declared vibration emission value may also beused in a preliminary assessment of exposure.WARNING: The vibration emission during actual use of thepower tool can differ from the declared emissionvalue depending on the ways in which the tool isused. Be sure to identify safety measures to protect theoperator that are based on an estimation ofexposure in the actual conditions of use (takingaccount of all parts of the operating cycle such asthe times when the tool is switched off and when itis running idle in addition to the trigger time).ENH101-18For European countries onlyEC Declaration of ConformityMakita declares that the following Machine(s):Designation of Machine:Cordless Metal CutterModel No./ Type: DCS551Conforms to the following European Directives:2006/42/ECThey are manufactured in accordance with the followingstandard or standardized documents:EN60745The technical file in accordance with 2006/42/EC isavailable from:Makita, Jan-Baptist Vinkstraat 2, 3070, Belgium
