Safety instructions
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNING
WARNING! Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and specications
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock,
re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
1. WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or 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 the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
2) 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.
Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk
of electric shock.
1400W circular saw MNL_ECS1400_TPS_GB_V1_V20518_20180605.indd 7 6/5/18 3:24 PM

b) Avoid body 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. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a) Stay alert, watch 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 inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on the
switch or energising power tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.
1400W circular saw MNL_ECS1400_TPS_GB_V1_V20518_20180605.indd 8 6/5/18 3:24 PM

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to
a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
tools allow you to become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles. A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from
the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.

e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CIRCULAR SAW
CUTTING PROCEDURES
a) DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area
and the blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary
handle, or motor housing. If both hands are holding
the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.
b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard
cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece.
c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the
workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth
should be visible below the workpiece.
1400W circular saw MNL_ECS1400_TPS_GB_V1_V20518_20180605.indd 10 6/5/18 3:24 PM

11
d) Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across
your leg. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform.
It is important to support the work properly to minimize
body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
e) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed
metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the
operator an electric shock.
f) When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight
edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and
reduces the chance of blade binding.
g) Always use blades with correct size and shape
(diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades
that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw
will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers
or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were specially
designed for your saw, for optimum performance and
safety of operation.
Kickback causes and related warnings
– kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or
misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift
up and out of the workpiece toward the operator;
– when the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf
closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction
drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator;
– if the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the
teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the top
surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the
kerf and jump back toward the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating
procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below.
1400W circular saw MNL_ECS1400_TPS_GB_V1_V20518_20180605.indd 11 6/5/18 3:24 PM

12
a) Maintain a rm grip with both hands on the saw and
position your arms to resist kickback forces. Position
your body to either side of the blade, but not in line
with the blade. Kickback could cause the saw to jump
backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled by the
operator, if proper precautions are taken.
b) When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut
for any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw
motionless in the material until the blade comes to a
complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from
the work or pull the saw backward while the blade is
in motion or kickback may occur. Investigate and take
corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
c) When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the
saw blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth are
not engaged into the material. If saw blade is binding, it
may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw is
restarted.
d) Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade
pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under
their own weight. Supports must be placed under the
panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge
of the panel.
e) Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened
or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing
excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
f) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers
must be tight and secure before making cut. If blade
adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and
kickback.
g) Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls or
other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects
that can cause kickback.
1400W circular saw MNL_ECS1400_TPS_GB_V1_V20518_20180605.indd 12 6/5/18 3:24 PM

13
Lower guard function
a) Check lower guard for proper closing before each
use. Do not operate the saw if lower guard does
not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or
tie the lower guard into the open position. If saw is
accidentally dropped, lower guard may be bent. Raise the
lower guard with the retracting handle and make sure it
moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other
part, in all angles and depths of cut.
b) Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the
guard and the spring are not operating properly, they
must be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate
sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a
build-up of debris.
c) Lower guard may be retracted manually only for
special cuts such as “plunge cuts” and “compound
cuts”. Raise lower guard by retracting handle and as
soon as blade enters the material, the lower guard must
be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard should
operate automatically.
d) Always observe that the lower guard is covering the
blade before placing saw down on bench or oor. An
unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk
backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the
time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS FOR CIRCULAR
SAW
a) Do not use any abrasive wheels instead of the saw blades
of the size specied in this instruction manual.
b) Make sure that the correct saw blade is used for the
material to be cut. Read and compare the information in
this instruction manual with the product information of the
saw blade.
c) Use only saw blades that are marked with a speed equal
or higher than the speed marked on the tool.

d) The power tool shall not be wet or applied in wet
environment.
e) The voltage of the power source must agree with the
voltage specied on the rating label of the machine.
f) Check the product, its power cord and plug as well as
accessories for damage before each use. Do not use the
product if it is damaged or shows wear.
g) Double check that the accessories and attachments are
properly xed. One minute testing running in no-load
condition will be helpful to identify the problems.
h) Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping
devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
i) Keep the handles dry to ensure safe control. Grip the
product securely with two hands so you have full control at
all times.
j) The blade and the work piece can be very hot while
working. Do not touch them before they have cooled down.
k) Ensure that the air vents are always unobstructed and
clear. Clean them if necessary with a soft brush. Blocked
air vents may lead to overheating and damage the product.
l) Switch off the power tool immediately if the blade jams. Be
prepared for high reaction torque that can cause kickback.
The blade jams when the power tool is subject to overload
or it becomes wedged in the workpiece.
m)Switch the product off immediately if you are disturbed
while working by other people entering the working area.
Always let the product come to complete stop before
putting it down.
n) Do not overwork yourself. Take regular breaks to ensure
you can concentrate on the work and have full control over
the product.
o) Always keep the power cord behind the power tool.
LASER SAFETY WARNINGS
The laser light used is Class 2 with maximum 1mW power
and 650nm wavelength. These lasers do not normally present
an optical hazard, although staring at the beam may cause
ash blindness.
1400W circular saw MNL_ECS1400_TPS_GB_V1_V20518_20180605.indd 14 6/5/18 3:24 PM

WARNING! Do not stare directly at the laser beam.
A hazard may exist if you deliberately stare into the
beam, please observe all safety rules as follows:
a) Protect yourself and your environment against risk of
accident through appropriate precautions!
b) Do not stare directly into the laser with other optical
c) Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals or onto
blinded or irritated. Even a low power laser can damage
the eye.
d) Caution – when executing processes different from those
described here, this can lead to a dangerous radiation
exposure.
e) Never open or manipulate the laser module. It might cause
an unexpected radiation exposure.
f) Do not stare directly into the laser beam without eye
protection. A laser beam hitting the eye can cause
permanent damage to the retina.
The following information applies to professional users only
but is good practice for all users:
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS FOR CONSTRUCTION
DUST
The updated Control of Substances Hazardous to Health
Regulations 1st October 2012 now also targets to reduce the
risks associated with silica, wood and gypsum dusts.

Construction workers are one of the at-risk groups within this
because of the dust that they breathe: silica dust is not just a
nuisance; it is a real risk to your lungs!
Silica is a natural mineral present in large amounts in things
like sand, sandstone and granite. It is also commonly found in
many construction materials such as concrete and mortar. The
silica is broken into very ne dust (also known as Respirable
Crystalline Silica or RCS) during many common tasks such as
cutting, drilling and grinding. Breathing in very ne particles of
crystalline silica can lead to the development of:
• lung cancer
• Silicosis
• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
And breathing in ne particles of wood dust can lead to the
development of Asthma. The risk of lung disease is linked to
people who regularly breathe construction dust over a period
of time, not on the odd occasion.
To protect the lung, the COSHH Regulations sets a limit on
the amount of these dusts that you can breathe (called a
Workplace Exposure Limit or WEL) when averaged over a
normal working day. These limits are not a large amount of
dust: when compared to a penny it is tiny – like a small pinch
of salt:
This limit is the legal maximum; the most you can breathe
after the right controls have been used.
How to reduce the amount of dust?
1. Reduce the amount of cutting by using the best sizes of
building products.
2. Use a less powerful tool e.g. a block cutter instead of angle
grinder.
3. Using a different method of work altogether – e.g. using a
nail gun to direct fasten cable trays instead of drilling holes
rst.
1400W circular saw MNL_ECS1400_TPS_GB_V1_V20518_20180605.indd 16 6/5/18 3:24 PM

17
Please always work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that specially designed to lter out
microscopic particles and use the dust extraction facility at all
time.
For more information please see the HSE website:
http://www.hse.gov.uk/construction or http://www.hse.gov.uk/
pubns/cis69.pdf
WARNING! Some dust particles created by
power sanding, sawing, grinding, drill and other
construction jobs contain chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
timber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
upon how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these dusts:
• Work in a well-ventilated.
• Work with approved protective equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed
to lter microscopic particles.
VIBRATION
The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive has
been brought in to help reduce hand arm vibration syndrome
injuries to power tool users. The directive requires power tool
manufacturers and suppliers to provide indicative vibration
test results to enable users to make informed decisions as to
the period of time a power tool can be used safely on a daily
basis and the choice of tool.
1400W circular saw MNL_ECS1400_TPS_GB_V1_V20518_20180605.indd 17 6/5/18 3:24 PM
