the recycling stations provided by local
regulations.
5.1 Electrical safety
When using electric machines always obser-
ve the safety regulations applicable in your
country to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock and personal injury. Read the following
safety instructions and also the enclosed safety
instructions. Keep these instructions in a safe
place!
Always check that the power supply
corresponds to the voltage on the
rating plate.

38
Class II equipment – double insula-
ted – the plug does not have to be
earthed.
• Replacingcablesorplugs
If the mains cable becomes damaged, it
must be replaced with a special mains cable
available from the manufacturer or the
manufacturer’s customer service. Dispose of
old cables or plugs immediately after repla-
cing them with new ones. It is dangerous to
connect the plug of a loose cable to a socket.
• Usingextensioncables
Only use an approved extension cable suita-
ble for the power input of the machine. The
minimum conductor size is 1.5 mm2. When
using a cable reel always unwind the reel
completely.
5.2 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.
• Donotreachunderneaththeworkpiece.The
guard cannot protect you from the blade
below the workpiece.
• Adjustthe cutting depth to the thickness of
the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the
blade teeth should be visible below the work-
piece.
• 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.
• Holdpowertoolbyinsulatedgrippingsurfa-
ces 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 shock the operator.
• When ripping always use a rip fence or
straight edge guide. This improves the
accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of
blade binding.
• 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.
• Neverusedamagedorincorrectbladewash-
ers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were
specially designed for your saw, for optimum
performance and safety of operation.
5.3 Causes and operator prevention of
kickback
• 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 precau-
tions as given below.
• Maintainafirm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 back-
wards, but kickback forces can be controlled
by the operator, if proper precautions are
taken.
• Whenbladeisbinding,orwheninterrupting
a cut for any reason, release the trigger and

39
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.
• Whenrestartingasawintheworkpiece,cen-
tre 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.
• 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.
• Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set blades pro-
duce narrow kerf causing excessive friction,
blade binding and kickback.
• 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.
• Use extra caution when making a ”plunge
cut” into existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding blade may cut objects that can
cause kickback.
5.4 Safety instructions lower guard
• Checklowerguardforproperclosingbefore
each use. Do not operate the saw if lower
guard does not move freely and close instant-
ly. 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.
• 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 slug-
gishly due to damaged parts, gummy depo-
sits, or a build-up of debris.
• Lower guard should 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 relea-
sed. For all other sawing, the lower guard
should operate automatically.
• Always observe that the lower guard is
covering the blade before placing saw down
on bench or floor. 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.
5.5 Before using the circular saw, check-
the following points
• Does the voltage of the motor correspond
with the mains voltage. (appliances for a
mains voltage of 230 V)
• Arethemainsleadandthemainsplugina
good condition: solid, without any loose ends
or damage.
• Isthesawblademissinganyteethorshowing
any cracks, if so, it must be replaced imme-
diately.
• Makesurethebladeissecure.
• Use this circular saw only to saw wood or
wood-like products.
• Do not use circular saw blades which are
deformed or damaged.
• DonotuseHSSblades.
• Onlyusebladesmeetingtherequireddimen-
sions (as well as) data and descriptions.
• Neverapply anyblades ofwhichthe thick-
ness is greater than that of the riving knife.
• Do not stop the blade of a circular saw by
pressing the blade from the side.
• Checkthatthebladeguardcanfreelymove
and fully closes.
• Neverlock-uptheguardintheopenposition.

40
• Never put sideward pressure on the blade.
This may cause the blade to break.
• Be careful when cutting wood with knots,
nails or cracks in it and/or dirt on it, as these
can cause the blade to get stuck.
• Neverleavethecircularsawunattended.
5.6 Safety tips for the laser beamer
• Neverlookintothelightbeamofthelaser.
• Never point the light beam of the laser at
humans or animals.
• Do not point the light beam of the laser at
strongly reflecting material. Hazard from
reflected light.
• Onlyhaverepairsmadetothelaserbeamer
by qualified personnel / professional repair
specialists.
• Donotinsertanyhardobjectsintothelaser
optics.
• Cleanthelaseropticswithasoft,drybrush.
5.7 Using the machine
• Useclampsoravicetoholdthework.
• Neverremovewoodchipsandsawdustthat
is close to the saw blade with your hands. If
there are small pieces of wood left between
the fixed and the movable parts, the circular
saw will have to be stopped. The plug needs
to be removed from the socket, before any
left piece can be removed.
• Checkthatthebladeissuitableforthespind-
le speed of the circular saw. Do not attempt
to cut before the circular saw has reached full
speed. Make sure the circular saw runs wit-
hout load (i.e. is not in contact with the work)
when you switch it on. The circular saw must
have reached its full speed first.
• Nevercutwoodthatisthickerthanthedepth
of the saw blade.
• When cutting in wooden walls or floors,
check if there is no wiring or piping where
you intend to cut.
• Switchoffthe tool andwaituntil the blade
has stopped completely before moving the
saw away from the work or putting it down.
Hearing protection should be worn when
using the circular saw.
5.8 Switch off the machine immediately
when you discover
• Adefectivemainsplugormainslead.
• Adefectiveswitch.
• Overheatingofthecircularsaw.
• Smokeorodeurcausedbyscorchedinsula-
tion.
