WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: Lead from lead-based
paint, crystalline silica from bricks and cements and other masonry products, and Arsenic and
chromium from chemically-treated Lumber.
Safety instructions for all saws
a) DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep your second hand on
the body of the motor housing. If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be
cut by the blade.
b) Do not reach underneath the work piece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade
below the work piece.
c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the work piece. Less than a full tooth of the blade
teeth should be visible below the work piece.
d) Never hold the work piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure the work piece to
a stable platform. It is important to support the work piece properly to minimize body exposure,
blade binding, or loss of control.
e) Hold the Rotorazer Saw 3000 Series, RZ120 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 Rotorazer Saw 3000 Series, RZ120 "live"
could/may 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 the correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbor holes
that adapt perfectly to the hole they are inserted. 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.
Further safety instructions for all saws
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 work piece 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 on the work piece until the blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt
to remove the saw from the work piece 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 work piece, center the saw blade in the kerf/groove and check that
saw teeth are not engaged into the material. If saw blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback
from the work piece as the saw is restarted.
SAFETY WARNINGS
d) Provide support for large panels to minimize 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.
e) Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow
kerf/groove 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
a) Check blade guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if blade guard
does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the blade guard into the open
position. If saw is accidentally dropped, blade guard may be bent. Raise the blade guard by the
sole plate 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 blade guard spring. If the guard and the spring are not operating
properly, they must be serviced before use. Blade guard may operate sluggishly due to
damaged parts, sticky residue, or an accumulation of debris.
c) Blade guard may be retracted manually only for special cuts such as "plunge cuts" and
"compound cuts." Raise blade guard by sole plate and as soon as blade enters the material,
the lower guard must be released. For all other sawing, the blade guard should operate
automatically.
d) Always observe that the blade guard is covering the blade before placing saw down on bench
or floor. An unprotected, spinning 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 spinning after switch is released.
• DO NOT use any abrasive cutting blades.
• Use only blade diameter(s) in accordance with the markings.
Safety instructions for this mini circular saw
a. Check before each use that the safety guard closes correctly. Do not use the saw if the lower
safety guard does not move freely and does not close immediately. Never clamp or secure
the lower safety guard in the open position. If the saw should accidentally fall to the ground,
the lower safety guard may become bent. Open the safety guard with the retraction lever
and ensure that it moves freely. Check that it does not interfere with the saw blade or other
components, at any cutting angle or cutting depth.
b. Check the condition and operation of the spring for the lower safety guard. Do not use the
equipment if the lower safety guard and spring do not work perfectly. Damaged parts,
adhesive deposits or accumulations of shavings retard the operation of the lower safety guard.
c. When making a plunge cut which is not at right angles, make sure that the saw's guide plate
can not move laterally. Lateral movements can cause the saw blade to jam and hence result
in kickback.
d. Do not put down the saw on the workbench or floor, without the lower safety guard covering
the saw blade. When slowing down after use, an unprotected saw blade will move the saw
in the direction opposite to the cutting direction and will saw whatever lies in its path. Pay
attention, therefore, to the deceleration time of the saw.
e. Use only saw blades with the correct diameter according to what is printed on the saw.
f. When sawing plastics please ensure not to overheat the saw teeth tips to avoid melting
the plastic.
