General power tool safety warnings
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, 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 instruc-
tions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
Electrical safety
1. 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.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Use of power supply via an RCD with a rated
residual current of 30 mA or less is always
recommended.
8. Power tools can produce electromagnetic
elds (EMF) that are not harmful to the user.
However, users of pacemakers and other similar
medical devices should contact the maker of their
device and/or doctor for advice before operating
this power tool.
9. Do not touch the power plug with wet hands.
10. If the cord is damaged, have it replaced by the
manufacturer or his agent in order to avoid a
safety hazard.
Personal safety
1. 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 med-
ication. A moment of inattention while operating
powertoolsmayresultinseriouspersonalinjury.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. Always wear protective goggles to protect
your eyes from injury when using power tools.
The goggles must comply with ANSI Z87.1 in
the USA, EN 166 in Europe, or AS/NZS 1336
in Australia/New Zealand. In Australia/New
Zealand, it is legally required to wear a face
shield to protect your face, too.
It is an employer's responsibility to enforce
the use of appropriate safety protective equip-
ments by the tool operators and by other per-
sons in the immediate working area.

4ENGLISH
Power tool use and care
1. 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.
2.
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.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4.
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.
5. 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.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7.
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.
8. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasp-
ing surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control
of the tool in unexpected situations.
9. When using the tool, do not wear cloth work
gloves which may be entangled. The entangle-
ment of cloth work gloves in the moving parts may
resultinpersonalinjury.
Service
1.
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.
2. Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.
Circular saw safety warnings
Cutting procedures
1. 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.
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.
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 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.
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.

5ENGLISH
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.
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.
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 acciden-
tally 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.
2. Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If
the guard and the spring are not operating prop-
erly, 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 han-
dle 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 hous-
ing. Leaving blade exposed is VERY DANGEROUS
andcanleadtoseriouspersonalinjury.
Additional safety warnings
1.
Use extra caution when cutting damp wood, pres-
sure treated lumber, or wood containing knots.
Maintain smooth advancement of tool without 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!

6ENGLISH
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.
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.

Alwaysuseafrontgripandrearhandleandrmlyholdthetoolby
both the front grip and rear handle during operations. The tool is
provided with both the front grip and rear handle. If both hands are
holding saw, they cannot be cut by the blade. Set the base on the
workpiece to be cut without the blade making any contact. Then turn
the tool on and wait until the blade attains full speed. Now simply
movethetoolforwardovertheworkpiecesurface,keepingitatand
advancing smoothly until the sawing is completed.
To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and your
speed of advance uniform. If the cut fails to properly follow
your intended cut line, do not attempt to turn or force the tool
back to the cut line. Doing so may bind the blade and lead
todangerouskickbackandpossibleseriousinjury.Release
switch, wait for blade to stop and then withdraw tool. Realign

seriousinjury.
1.
Always keep the tool tethered when working "at
height". Maximum lanyard length is 2 m (6.5 ft).
2. Use only with lanyards appropriate for this tool
type and rated for at least 6.0 kg (13.3 lbs).
3. Do not anchor the tool lanyard to anything on
your body or on movable components. Anchor
the tool lanyard to a rigid structure that can
withstand the forces of a dropped tool.
4. Make sure the lanyard is properly secured at
each end prior to use.
5. Inspect the tool and lanyard before each use
for damage and proper function (including
fabric and stitching). Do not use if damaged or
not functioning properly.
6. Do not wrap lanyards around or allow them to
come in contact with sharp or rough edges.
7.
Fasten the other end of the lanyard outside the
working area so that a falling tool is held securely.
8. Attach the lanyard so that the tool will move
away from the operator if it falls. Dropped tools
willswingonthelanyard,whichcouldcauseinjury
or loss of balance.
9. Do not use near moving parts or running
machinery. Failure to do so may result in a crush
or entanglement hazard.
10. Do not carry the tool by the attachment device
or the lanyard.
11. Only transfer the tool between your hands
while you are properly balanced.
12. Do not attach lanyards to the tool in a way that
keeps guards, switches or lock-offs from oper-
ating properly.
13. Avoid getting tangled in the lanyard.
14. Keep lanyard away from the cutting area of the
tool.
15. Use multi-action and screw gate type cara-

MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspec-
tion or maintenance.
• Clean out the guard to ensure there is no
accumulated sawdust and chips which
may impede the operation of the guarding
system. A dirty guarding system may limit the
proper operation which could result in serious
personalinjury.Themosteffectivewayto
accomplish this cleaning is with compressed air.
If the dust is being blown out of the guard,
be sure the proper eye and breathing protec-
tion is used.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol
or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks
may result.
