GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Carefully read, remember and keep these safety instructions
WARNING! In the use of electric machines and power tools, it is necessary to respect
and follow the following safety instructions for the reasons of protection against electric
shock, personal injury and danger of fire. The term “power tool” in the instructions below
refers both to mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
Workplace
Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas in the workplace invite
accidents. Store power tools that you don’t currently use.
Do not operate power tools in environments with danger of occurrence of a fire or explosion,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep unauthorised persons, especially children, away from the work area while operating
a power tool! Distractions can cause you to lose control over the performed activity. In no
event leave your power tool unattended. Keep the equipment away from animals.
Electrical Safety
Power tool plugs must match the mains socket outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Undamaged plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. Damaged or fouled supply cables increase
the risk of electric shock. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a new power
cord which is available at the authorised service centre or the importer.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cooking
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Never touch the power tool with wet
hands. Never wash the power tool under running water or immerse it in water.
Never use the supply cable for other than intended purposes. Never use the cord for carrying
or pulling the power tool. Never unplug the plug from the outlet by pulling the cable. Keep
electric cables away from sharp or hot objects to prevent mechanical damage.
The power tool was designed to be powered solely by alternating electric current. Always
check if the electric voltage matches the information specified in the type label of the power
tool.
Never use power tool with damaged electric cable or plug or which has been dropped or is in
any way damaged.

EN 11 General safety instructions
If an extension cord is used, always check whether its technical parameters match the
information specified in the type label of the power tool. When operating a power tool
outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. If extension drums are used, these
must be rolled out to prevent overheating of the cord.
If a power tool is operated in a damp location or outdoors, its operation is only permitted if
connected to an electric circuit protected by a residual current device <30 mA. Use of residual
current device (RCD) reduces the risk of electric shock.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only as the cutting or drilling tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own power cord during operation.
Personal Safety
Be careful, stay alert and watch what you are doing when operating a power tool.
Concentrate on your work. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury. Do not eat, drink and smoke while operating a power tool.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Use protective equipment
corresponding to the type of work you are doing. Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used in accordance with the working
conditions will reduce the risk of personal injury.
Prevent unintentional starting. Do not carry the power tool while it is energised or with
your finger on the switch or trigger. Ensure the switch or trigger is in the “off” position before
connecting to power source. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising
power tools that have the switch on may result in serious injuries.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. An adjusting wrench or
a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not overreach. Never overestimate your own
capabilities. Never use power tools while you are tired.
Dress properly. Wear work clothes. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing, gloves and other part of your body away from moving or hot parts of the power tool.
Connect the equipment to dust exhaustion. If the tools are provided for the connection of dust
collection or exhaustion devices, ensure these are properly connected and used. Use of such
devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
Fix the work-piece tightly. Use a cabinet clamp or a cramp to fix the work-piece you are about
to machine.
Never use power tools if you are under the influence of alcohol, drugs, medication or other
narcotic or addictive substances.
This equipment is not intended for use by persons (including children) with limited physical,
sensual or mental capacities or lack of experience or knowledge unless they are supervised
or instructed about the use of the equipment by a person responsible for their safety. Children
must be supervised to make sure they are not playing with the equipment.

ATTENTION! Do not use grinding discs
- The arrow on the circular-saw blade indicating the running direction must indicate the same
direction as the arrow on the circular-saw guard. The teeth of the circular-saw blade must
match the running direction of the saw (downwards and forward).
- Keep the circular-saw blade and the clamping surface of the flange clean. The flange of the
circular-saw blade must always fit inwards into the rotating dropping guard (towards the
circular-saw blade).
- Make sure that all clamping devices and locking devices have been tightened and that no
parts shows excessive idle travel.
ATTENTION! Never cut objects while holding them in your hand.
ATTENTION! Make sure that the already cut-off parts cannot get into contact with the
circular-saw blade as they may be caught by the circular-saw blade and sprung up.
ATTENTION! Never cut more than one piece of material at the same time.
ATTENTION! Be especially careful when cutting large, very small or irregular pieces.
ATTENTION! No nails or other foreign objects may be present in the part of the machined
piece to be cut.
ATTENTION! No persons are allowed to stay near or behind the circular saw where saw
dust and cuttings are thrown away.
ATTENTION! Do not use the circular saw for cutting fire wood.
ATTENTION! Do not attempt to stop the circular-saw blade from rotating by exerting
pressure to its lateral face.
ATTENTION! Do not use circular-saw blades which do not conform, in terms of dimensions
and shape, to the requirements of this tool. Before cutting, fix the work-piece firmly e.g. using
clamps (they are not part of the supply).
ATTENTION! Keep your hands away from the cutting area and from the circular-saw blade.
Use your other hand to hold the auxiliary handle or the engine cover. If you hold the circular
saw with your both hands, they cannot be cut by the circular-saw blade.
ATTENTION! Adjust the cutting depth to at least the thickness of the processed material.
ATTENTION! If you carry out work during which the tool could get into contact with hidden
electric wiring or its own cord, hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces intended for

ATTENTION! During longitudinal cutting, always use the longitudinal guide scale or straight
guide rail.
ATTENTION! Never use damaged or incorrect washers or clamping bolts.
ATTENTION! If the circular-saw blade is pinched or when interrupting a cut for other
reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the material until the blade comes
to a complete stop.
ATTENTION! Never attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw backward
while the blade is in motion. A kickback may occur.
ATTENTION! When restarting the saw in a work-piece, centre the saw blade in the kerf and
check that saw teeth are not engaged into the material.
ATTENTION! Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade pinching or kickback.
ATTENTION! Do not use dull or otherwise damaged blades.
ATTENTION! Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure
before making a cut.
ATTENTION! Use extra caution especially when making a “plunge cut”, e.g. cut into existing
walls or blind areas.
ATTENTION! Never operate the saw without the blade guard attached.
Lower guard
ATTENTION! Check lower guard for proper closing before each use.
ATTENTION! Do not operate the saw if the lower guard does not move freely and close
instantly! Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position.
ATTENTION! Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the guard and the spring are
not operating properly, they must be repaired before use.
ATTENTION! Lower guard should be retracted manually only for special cuts such as
“plunge cuts” or “compound cuts”. Raise the lower guard by the lower guard lift lever and as
soon as the blade enters the material, the lower guard must be released.
ATTENTION! Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing saw
down on the bench or floor.

FDK 2001-E
20EN Safety instructions
ATTENTION! Except for plunge cuts, always use the riving knife.
ATTENTION! In order for the riving knife to work, it must fit into the cut-out in the processed
piece.
ATTENTION! Do not operate the saw if the riving knife is bent.
ATTENTION! Make sure that the riving knife is so adjusted that the distance between the
riving knife and the blade rim is not greater than 5 mm and the blade rim does not reach out
behind the lower edge of the riving knife by more than 5 mm.
ATTENTION! When replacing the circular-saw blade, make sure that the cut width is not
smaller than the depth of the riving knife.
Avoid the kickback of the saw.
ATTENTION! Kickback occurs when a force is exerted against the saw blade causing a
quick and unexpected lift up of the wood. Kickback is very dangerous but can be minimised if
you identify its causes and avoid them.
The root of the circular-saw blade should always be in tight contact with the cut material
Always hold the saw with your both hands. Support the cut parts by large panels.
Be careful when cutting long parts which can be bent, twisted or pinch the circular-saw blade.
Never cut in the centre of the supported piece of wood. The wood could bend over and pinch
the circular-saw blade.
Never cut overhead.
Do not exert pressure upon the saw. Let the circular-saw blade work at its own rate.
Secure the flange using clamps or cramp to avoid vibrations and irregular cuts.
Do not let the blade leave the cutting line as it could cause the saw jump out of the kerf.
Before cutting, check the wood and remove all bolts, clamps and nails.
Replace the circular-saw blade if it is dull.
Only use circular-saw blades according to EN 847-1 and never use circular-saw blades made
of high speed steel - HSS.
ATTENTION! Wear hearing protection to reduce the risk of impaired hearing! Use protection
against dangerous dust inhaling.
ATTENTION! Wear gloves when working with circular-saw blades and roughly machined
materials - circular-saw blades should be carried in holders, if possible.
ATTENTION! Use means of protection against noise, dust and vibrations !!!
ATTENTION! Keep these safety instructions.
