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.
►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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.
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

7ENGLISH
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.
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 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, 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!
►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 inhalation 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.

makesrepeatedcutsofuniformwidthpossible.
Lanyard (tether strap) connection
Safety warnings specic for use at height
Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure
to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
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-
bineers. Do not use single action spring clip
carabineers.
16. In the event the tool is dropped, it must be
tagged and removed from service, and should
be inspected by a Makita Factory or Authorized
Service Center.
