Cordless circular saw safety
warnings
Cutting procedures
1.
DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area
and the blade. Keep your second hand on auxil-
iary handle, or motor housing.Ifbothhandsare
holdingthesaw,theycannotbecutbytheblade.
2. Do not reach underneath the workpiece.The
guardcannotprotectyoufromthebladebelowthe
workpiece.
3. 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.
4. Never hold the workpiece in your hands or
across your leg while cutting. Secure the
workpiece to a stable platform. It is important to
supporttheworkproperlytominimisebodyexpo-
sure,bladebinding,orlossofcontrol.
►Fig.1
5. Hold the 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couldgivetheoperatoranelectricshock.
6. When ripping, always use a rip fence or
straight edge guide.Thisimprovestheaccuracy
ofcutandreducesthechanceofbladebinding.
7.
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off-centre,causinglossofcontrol.
8. 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.
Kickback causes and related warnings
—
kickbackisasuddenreactiontoapinched,jammed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jammedtightlybythe
kerfclosingdown,thebladestallsandthemotorreac-
tion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.
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre
the saw blade in the kerf so that the saw teeth
are not engaged into the material.Ifasawblade
binds,itmaywalkuporkickbackfromthework-
pieceasthesawisrestarted.
4. 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.
►Fig.2
►Fig.3
5. Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Unsharpenedorimproperlysetbladesproduce
narrowkerfcausingexcessivefriction,blade
bindingandkickback.
6. Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers
must be tight and secure before making the
cut.Ifbladeadjustmentshiftswhilecutting,itmay
causebindingandkickback.
7. Use extra caution when sawing into existing
walls or other blind areas.Theprotrudingblade
maycutobjectsthatcancausekickback.
8. ALWAYS hold the tool rmly with both hands.
NEVER place your hand, leg or any part of your
body under the tool base or behind the saw,
especially when making cross-cuts.Ifkickback
occurs,thesawcouldeasilyjumpbackwardsover
yourhand,leadingtoseriouspersonalinjury.
►Fig.4
9. Never force the saw. Push the saw forward at a
speed so that the blade cuts without slowing.
Forcingthesawcancauseunevencuts,lossof
accuracy,andpossiblekickback.
Lower guard function
1. Check the lower guard for proper closing
before each use. 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.Ifthesawisaccidentally
dropped,the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.

8ENGLISH
2. 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.
3. The lower guard may be retracted manually
only for special cuts such as “plunge cuts”
and “compound cuts”. Raise the lower guard
by the retracting handle and as soon as the
blade enters the material, the lower guard
must be released.Forallothersawing,thelower
guardshouldoperateautomatically.
4. Always observe that the lower guard is cover-
ing the blade before placing the 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.
5. To check lower guard, open lower guard by
hand, then release and watch guard closure.
Also check to see that retracting handle does
not touch tool housing.Leavingbladeexposed
isVERYDANGEROUSandcanleadtoserious
personalinjury.
Additional safety warnings
1. Use extra caution when cutting damp wood,
pressure treated lumber, or wood containing
knots.Maintainsmoothadvancementoftoolwith-
outdecreaseinbladespeedtoavoidoverheating
thebladetips.
2. Do not attempt to remove cut material when
blade is moving. Wait until blade stops before
grasping cut material.Bladescoastafterturnoff.
3. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from lumber before cutting.
4. Place the wider portion of the saw base on
that part of the workpiece which is solidly
supported, not on the section that will fall off
when the cut is made. If the workpiece is short
or small, clamp it down. DO NOT TRY TO HOLD
SHORT PIECES BY HAND!
►Fig.5
5. Before setting the tool down after completing a
cut, be sure that the guard has closed and the
blade has come to a complete stop.
6. Never attempt to saw with the circular saw
held upside down in a vise. This is extremely
dangerous and can lead to serious accidents.
►Fig.6
7. Some material contains chemicals which may
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-
tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.
8. Do not stop the blades by lateral pressure on
the saw blade.
9. Do not use any abrasive wheels.
10. Only use the saw blade with the diameter that
is marked on the tool or specied in the man-
ual.Useofanincorrectlysizedblademayaffect
theproperguardingofthebladeorguardopera-
tionwhichcouldresultinseriouspersonalinjury.
11. Keep blade sharp and clean.Gumandwood
pitchhardenedonbladesslowssawand
increasespotentialforkickback.Keepbladeclean
byrstremovingitfromtool,thencleaningitwith
gumandpitchremover,hotwaterorkerosene.
Never use gasoline.
12. Wear a dust mask and hearing protection when
use the tool.
13. Always use the saw blade intended for cutting
the material that you are going to cut.
14. Only use the saw blades that are marked with
a speed equal or higher than the speed marked
on the tool.
15. (For European countries only)
Always use the blade which conforms to
EN847-1.
