Personal Safety
For your personal safety always ensure that you:
a. Review and follow the instructions carefully, particularly when changing blades.
b. Wear suitable ear defenders before handling the saw.
c. Wear suitable eye protection before handling the saw.
d. Wear protective gloves before handling the saw.
e. Wear suitable protection against dust before handling the saw.
f. Wear suitable clothing.
WARNING
If used carelessly or improperly, circular saw blades can cause serious injury.
Always ensure that all safety instructions for the power tool or woodworking machine are observed.
a. Remove all contents from the packaging and inspect the contents to ensure no damage occurred during
shipping.
b. Perform a saw check and make sure every part of the circular saw is working properly.
c. Check the markings on the circular saw blades for the direction of rotation and machine settings.
d. Check the condition of the circular saw blades – any with visible cracks should be scrapped.
e. Check the condition of the saw blades – do not use deformed, cracked, worn or otherwise damaged
blades.
f. Never use a blade with missing or damaged teeth or carbide tips – damaged blades should be discarded
properly.
g. Ensure that the blades are sharp – never use a dull/blunt blade.
h. Before installation please ensure the blade is the correct diameter and arbour size for your saw. Blades
that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
i. When starting the saw for the rst time after installing a blade, allow the saw to run at full ‘No Load Speed’
for a few seconds. Be sure to stand aside from the blade path during this time. Look out for any blade
wobble or vibration that could indicate incorrect installation.
j. A blunt blade may burn the cutting surface. If this happens, please replace the blade immediately.
Overheated blade tips may loosen and cause serious injury.

1) Before use
a. All users should be adequately trained and experienced in the use of these tools.
b. Choose a suitable circular saw blade for the material to be worked.
c. Ensure that the diameter, width and bore sizes are correct for the machine to be used.
d. When the tool is not in use, it should be stored in a way that will prevent damage to the blade’s teeth.
e. Do not touch cutting discs until they have cooled down. The cutting discs become very hot while
operating.
f. Ensure that the permitted maximum speed of the cutting disc matches at least the maximum speed of the
power tool.
g. Remove the circular saw blade before transporting the power tool in order to prevent damage.
h. Disconnect the power supply before changing the circular saw blade.
i. Do not overreach while cutting - when trying to cut long boards with your circular saw, do not try to
overreach or try to cut further than your hands can extend.

2) Fastening/replacing of tools and parts
a. Unplug your circular saw or remove the battery before tting or replacing the blade.
b. The machine manufacturer’s instructions must be followed when mounting the blade.
c. Ensure that the blade and the tool body are clamped securely so that they do not loosen during
operation.
d. Circular saw blades should be clamped by the hub of the blade. Cutting edges should not be in contact
with each other or with the clamping components.
e. Fastening screws and nuts should be tightened to the torque value provided by the machine
manufacturer using the appropriate tools.
f. Do not overtighten.
g. Ensure the clamping surface is clean and free from debris, grease, oil and water.
h. Follow the machine manufacturer’s instructions for tightening of the clamping screws.
i. After each use,lubricate your blade with a rust preventive – this will prevent the blade from rusting
when being stored.
3) Work Area Safety
a. Keep work area clean, well ventilated and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite dust particles.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
4) Electrical Safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
b. Avoid bodily contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use - this reduces the
risk of electric shock.
f. Always use the power tool in conjunction with a residual circuit breaker device. The use of a residual
circuit breaker device reduces the risk of electric shock.
a. Stay alert, concentrate on what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b. Circular saw blades are sharp – make sure that gloves are worn while handling.
c. Do not wear loose clothing. Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) should be worn during operation.
d. The maximum speed marked on the circular saw blade should not be exceeded, and the specied speed
range must be observed.
e. Observe the correct rotational direction of the blade.
f. To ensure a better and safer performance, the circular saw blade should be kept clean and well
maintained.
g. Never hold the workpiece being cut in your hands or across your legs. Secure the workpiece to a stable
platform. It is important to support the workpiece properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding,
or loss of control.
h. Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
i. Do not force the tool or attempt to cut curves with the blades.
