2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Explanation of the symbols
Denotes risk of personal injury, loss of life
or damage to the tool in case of non-
observance of the instructions in this
manual.
Indicates electrical shock hazard.
Keep bystanders away
Wear ear and eye protection
Wear a dust mask. Working with wood,
metals and other materials may produce
dust that is harmful to health. Do not
work with material containing asbestos
Danger
a) 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.
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 power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
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.
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.
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 precautions as
given below.
a) 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 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

5
EN
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 making a “plunge
cut” into existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding blade may cut objects that can
cause kickback.
Safety instructions lower guard
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 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 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 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.
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 220-240 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, it so must be replaced
immediately.
• Make sure the blade is secure.
• Use this circular saw to saw only wood,
wood-like products.
• Do not use circular saw blades wich are
deformed or damaged.
• Do not use HSS blades.
• Only use blades meeting the required
dimensions, as well as data and descriptions;
• Never apply any blades of which the thickness
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.
• 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.
• Use this circular saw to saw only wood or
wood-like products.
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 spindle
speed of the circular saw. Do not attempt
to cut before the circular saw has reached
full speed. Make sure the circular saw runs
without 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
there is no wiring or piping where you intend to
cut.

EN
• 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 circular
saw.
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
insulation.
Electrical safety
When using electric machines always observe 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.
Class II machine – Double insulation –
You don’t need any earthed plug.
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 replacing them with new ones. It
is dangerous to connect the plug of a loose cable
to a socket.
