GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING!
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions 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
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
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. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, 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.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
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.
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.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk
of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
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 influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
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 finger on the switch or
energising power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
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.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
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.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn
into air vents.
Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
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.
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.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
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.
Maintain power tools. 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.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.

CIRCULAR SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
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.
WARNING:
Never use abrasive cut-off wheels of any kind with
this saw. Use of non wood cutting blades can result in
property damage or serious personal injury.
SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
When servicing a power tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may
create a risk of shock or injury.
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.
Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard
can not protect you from the blade below the workpiece.
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.
Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across
your leg. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform.
It is important to support the work properly to minimize
body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
Hold 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 shock the operator.
When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge
guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces
the chance of blade binding.
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
eccentrically, causing loss of control.
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.
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 workpiece toward the operator.
Whenthe blade is pinched or boundtightly 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:
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.
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.
When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the
saw blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth are
not engaged into the material. If saw blade is binding,
it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the
saw is restarted.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

5 - English
CIRCULAR SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
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.
Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened
or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing
excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
Bladedepthandbeveladjustinglockinglevers mustbe
tight and secure before making cut. If blade adjustment
shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.
Use extra caution when making a “plunge cut” into
existingwalls or other blind areas.The protrudingblade
may cut objects that can cause kickback.
Check lower guard for proper closing before each
use. Do not operate the saw if lower guard does not
move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the
lowerguardintothe open position.If saw is accidentally
dropped, 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.
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.
Lower guard should be retracted manually only for
special cuts such as “plunge cuts” and “compound
cuts.” Raise lower guard by retracting handle and as
soon as blade enters the material, the lower guard
must be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard
should operate automatically.
Always observe that the lower guard is covering the
blade before placing saw down on bench or floor. 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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the
work by hand or against your body is unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well
as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,
fire, or serious injury.
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could
result in objects being thrown into your eyes, resulting in
possilbe serious injury.
Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of serious personal injury.
Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during
extended periods of operation. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
Inspect tool cords periodically and, if damaged, have
repaired at your nearest authorized service center.
Constantly stay aware of cord location. Following this
rule will reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.
Check damaged parts. Before further use of the
tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should
be carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions
that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorized service center. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of shock, fire, or serious injury.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least
14 is recommended for an extension cord 50 feet
or less in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not
recommended. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before
using this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
serious personal injury.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced only by the manufacturer or by an authorized
service center to avoid risk.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you
loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.

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.
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with this product to make you
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second
is sufficient to inflict serious injury.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in
objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible
serious injury.
APPLICATIONS
You may use this product for the purposes listed below:
Cutting all types of wood products (lumber, plywood,
paneling, composition board, and hard board)
Cross cutting/rip cutting wood products
Bevel cutting wood products
Pocket cutting wood products
WARNING:
Never use abrasive cut-off wheels of any kind with
this saw. Use of non wood cutting blades can result in
property damage or serious personal injury.
KICKBACK
See Figures 5 - 8, page 18.
Kickback occurs when the blade stalls rapidly and the saw
is driven back towards you. Blade stalling is caused by any
action which pinches the blade in the wood.
DANGER:
Release switch immediately if blade binds or saw stalls.
Kickback could cause you to lose control of the saw. Loss
of control can lead to serious injury.
To guard against kickback, avoid dangerous practices such
as the following:
Setting blade depth incorrectly
Sawing into knots or nails in workpiece
Twisting the blade while making a cut
OPERATION
Making a cut with a dull, gummed up, or improperly set
blade
Supporting the workpiece incorrectly
Forcing a cut
Cutting warped or wet lumber
Operating the tool incorrectly or misusing the tool
To lessen the chance of kickback, follow these safety
practices:
Keep the blade at the correct depth setting. Less than a
full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the
workpiece.
Inspect the workpiece for knots or nails before cutting.
Never saw into a knot or nail.
Make straight cuts. Always use a straight edge guide
when rip cutting. This helps prevent twisting the blade.
Use clean, sharp, and properly set blades. Never make
cuts with dull blades.
Support and clamp the workpiece properly before
beginning a cut.
Use steady, even pressure when making a cut. Never
force a cut.
Do not cut warped or wet lumber.
Hold the saw firmly with both hands and keep your body
in a balanced position so as to resist the forces if kickback
should occur.
WARNING:
When using the saw, always stay alert and exercise
control. Do not remove the saw from the workpiece while
the blade is moving.
SAW BLADES
The best of saw blades will not cut efficiently if they are not
kept clean, sharp, and properly set. Using a dull blade will
place a heavy load on the saw and increase the danger of
kickback. Keep extra blades on hand, so that sharp blades
are always available.
Gum and wood pitch hardened on blades will slow the
saw down. Remove saw blade from the saw and use gum
and pitch remover, hot water, or kerosene to remove these
accumulations. DO NOT USE GASOLINE.
BLADE GUARD SYSTEM
See Figure 9, page 18.
The lower blade guard attached to the circular saw is there
for your protection and safety. Do not alter it for any reason.
If it becomes damaged, do not operate the saw until you
have the guard repaired or replaced. Always leave guard in
operating position when using the saw.

When sawing through work, lower blade guard does not
cover blade on the underside of work. Since blade is
exposed on underside of work, keep hands and fingers
away from cutting area. Any part of your body coming
in contact with moving blade will result in serious injury.
CAUTION:
Never use saw when guard is not operating correctly.
Check the guard for correct operation before each use.
The guard is operating correctly when it moves freely and
readily returns to the closed position. If you drop the saw,
check the lower blade guard and bumper for damage at
all depth settings before reuse.
WARNING:
Never tie the lower blade guard in a raised position.
Leaving the blade exposed could lead to serious injury.
If at any time the lower blade guard does not snap closed,
unplug the saw from the power supply. Exercise the lower
guard by moving it rapidly back and forth from the full open
position to the closed position several times. Normally this
will restore the guard to its normal operating condition. If
it does not correct a slow or sluggish closing lower guard,
do not use the saw. Take it to an authorized factory service
center for repair.
STARTING/STOPPING THE SAW
See Figure 10, page 18.
To start the saw: Depress the switch.
Always let the blade reach full speed, then guide the saw
into the workpiece.
WARNING:
The blade coming in contact with the workpiece before
it reaches full speed could cause the saw to “kickback”
towards you resulting in serious injury.
To stop the saw: Release the switch.
After you release the switch, allow the blade to come to a
completestop. Do not removethesaw fromthe workpiece
while the blade is moving.
ADJUSTING BLADE DEPTH
See Figure 11, page 18.
Alwayskeep correctblade depthsetting. Lessthan a fulltooth
of the blade teeth should be visible below the workpiece.
More blade depth will increase the chance of kickback and
cause the cut to be rough. For more depth of cut accuracy,
a scale is located on the upper blade guard.
To adjust the blade depth:
Unplug the saw.
Pull depth lock lever upward to release. The depth lock
lever is located between the guard and handle of the saw.
Determine the desired depth of cut.
Locate depth of cut scale on back of upper blade guard.
Hold base flat against the workpiece and raise or lower
saw until the index point (or reference mark) on bracket
aligns with notch on blade guard.
Push down on the depth lock lever to lock the lever in
place and secure the position.
OPERATING THE SAW
See Figures 12 - 14, pages 18 and 19.
Itis important to understand thecorrectmethod for operating
the saw. Refer to the figures in this section to learn the correct
and incorrect ways for handling the saw.
WARNING:
To make sawing easier and safer, always maintain proper
control of the saw, by holding the saw with both hands.
Loss of control could cause an accident resulting in
possible serious injury.
DANGER:
When lifting the saw from the workpiece, the blade is
exposed on the underside of the saw until the lower blade
guard closes. Make sure the lower blade guard is closed
before setting the saw down.
WARNING:
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body is unstable and
may lead to loss of control which could cause possible
serious injury.
To make the best possible cut:
Hold the saw firmly with both hands.
Avoid placing your hand on the workpiece while making
a cut.
Support the workpiece so that the cut (kerf) is always to
your side.
Support the workpiece near the cut.
Clamp the workpiece securely so that the workpiece will
not move during the cut.

13 - English
OPERATION
Always place the saw on the workpiece that is supported,
not the “cut off” piece.
Place the workpiece with the “good” side down.
Draw a guideline along the desired line of cut before
beginning your cut.
DANGER:
If the cord hangs up on the workpiece during a cut,
release the switch immediately and allow the blade to
come to a complete stop. Unplug the saw and reposition
the cord to prevent it from hanging up again.
DANGER:
Using a saw with a damaged cord could result in serious
injury or death. If the cord has been damaged, have it
replaced before using the saw again.
CROSS CUTTING/RIP CUTTING
See Figures 15 and 16, page 19.
When making a cross cut or rip cut, align the line of cut with
the blade guide notch on the base.
Since blade thicknesses vary, always make a trial cut in scrap
material along a guideline to determine how much, if any,
you must offset the guideline to produce an accurate cut.
NOTE: The distance from the line of cut to the guideline is
the amount you should offset the guide.
TO RIP CUT WITHOUT EDGE GUIDE
See Figure 16, page 19.
Use a guide when making long or wide rip cuts with the saw.
NOTE: You may also use a edge guide to make rip cuts. Refer
to OPTIONAL EDGE GUIDE later in this manual.

RÈGLES DE SÉCURITÉ RELATIVES AUX OUTILS ÉLECTRIQUES
AVERTISSEMENT !
Lire tous les avertissements et toutes les instructions.
Ne pas suivre l’ensemble des avertissements et des
instructions peut entraîner une électrocution, un incendie
ou des blessures graves.
Conserver les avertissements et les instructions à des
fins de référence ultérieure. Le terme « outil motorisé »,
utilisé dans tous les avertissements ci-dessous désigne tout
outil fonctionnant sur secteur (câblé) ou sur piles (sans fil).
SÉCURITÉ DU LIEU DE TRAVAIL
Garder le lieu de travail propre et bien éclairé. Les
endroits encombrés ou sombre s sont propices aux
accidents.
Ne pas utiliser d’outils électriques dans des
atmosphères explosives, par exemple en présence
de liquides, gaz ou poussières inflammables. Les
outils électriques produisent des étincelles risquant
d’enflammer les poussières ou vapeurs.
Garder les enfants et badauds à l’écart pendant
l’utilisation d’un outil électrique. Les distractions
peuvent causer une perte de contrôle.
SÉCURITÉ ÉLECTRIQUE
Les fiches des outils électriques doivent correspondre
à la prise secteur utilisée. Ne jamais modifier la fiche,
de quelque façon que ce soit. Ne jamais utiliser
d’adaptateurs de fiche avec des outils mis à la terre.
Les fiches et prises non modifiées réduisent le risque de
choc électrique.
Éviter tout contact du corps avec des surfaces mises
à la terre, telles que tuyaux, radiateurs, cuisinières et
réfrigérateurs. Le risque de choc électrique est accru
lorsque le corps est mis à la terre.
Ne pas exposer les outils électriques à l’eau ou
l’humidité. La pénétration d’eau dans ces outils accroît
le risque de choc électrique.
Ne pas maltraiter le cordon d’alimentation. Ne jamais
utiliser le cordon d’alimentation pour transporter
l’outil et ne jamais débrancher ce dernier en tirant
sur le cordon. Garder le cordon à l’écart de la chaleur,
de l’huile, des objets tranchants et des pièces en
mouvement. Un cordon endommagé ou emmêlé accroît
le risque de choc électrique.
Pour les travaux à l’extérieur, utiliser un cordon
spécialement conçu à cet effet. Utiliser un cordon
conçu pour l’usage extrérieur pour réduire les risques de
choc électrique.
S’il est nécessaire d’utiliser l’outil électrique dans un
endroit humide, employer un dispositif interrupteur de
défaut à la terre (GFCI). L’utilisation d’un GFCI réduit le
risque de décharge électrique.
SÉCURITÉ PERSONNELLE
Rester attentif, prêter attention au travail et faire
preuve de bon sens lors de l’utilisation de tout
outil électrique. Ne pas utiliser cet outil en état de
fatigue ou sous l’influence de l’alcool, de drogues
ou de médicaments. Un moment d’inattention pendant
l’utilisation d’un outil électrique peut entraîner des
blessures graves.
Utiliser l’équipement de sécurité. Toujours porter une
protection oculaire. L’équipement de sécurité, tel qu’un
masque filtrant, de chaussures de sécurité, d’un casque
ou d’une protection auditive, utilisé dans des conditions
appropriées réduira le risque de blessures.
Éviter les démarrages accidentels. S’assurer que
le commutateur est en position d’arrêt avant de
brancher l’outil. Porter un outil avec le doigt sur son
commutateur ou brancher un outil dont le commutateur
est en position de marche peut causer un accident.
Retirer les clés de réglage avant de mettre l’outil en
marche. Une clé laissée sur une pièce rotative de l’outil
peut causer des blessures.
Ne pas travailler hors de portée. Toujours se tenir
bien campé et en équilibre. Ceci permettra de mieux
contrôler l’outil en cas de situation imprévue.
Porter une tenue appropriée. Ne porter ni vêtements
amples, ni bijoux. Garder les cheveux, les vêtements
et les gants à l’écart des pièces en mouvement. Les
vêtements amples, bijoux et cheveux longs peuvent se
prendre dans les pièces en mouvement.
Si les outils sont équipés de dispositifs de
dépoussiérage, s’assurer qu’ils sont connectés et
correctement utilisés. L’usage de ces dispositifs de
dépoussiérage peut réduire les dangers présentés par
la poussière.
Ne porter ni vêtements amples, ni bijoux. Attacher ou
couvrirles cheveux longs.Les vêtementsamples, bijouxet
cheveuxlongs peuvent se prendredans lesouïes d’aération.
Ne pas utiliser l’outil sur une échelle ou un support
instable. Une bonne tenue et un bon équilibre permettent
de mieux contrôler l’outil en cas de situation imprévue.
UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN DES OUTILS
ÉLECTRIQUES
Ne pas forcer l’outil. Utiliser l’outil approprié pour
l’application.Unoutilappropriéexécuteraletravailmieuxetde
façonmoinsdangereuses’ilestutilisédansles limites prévues.
Ne pas utiliser l’outil si le commutateur ne permet pas
de le mettre en marche ou de l’arrêter. Tout outil qui ne
peut pas être contrôlé par son commutateur est dangereux
et doit être réparé.
Débrancher l’outil et/ou retirer le bloc-piles avant
d’effectuer des réglages, de changer d’accessoire ou
de remiser l’outil. Ces mesures de sécurité préventives
réduisent les risques de démarrage accidentel de l’outil.

4 - Français
Ranger les outils motorisés hors de la portée des
enfants et ne laisser personne n’étant pas familiarisé
avec l’outil ou ces instructions utiliser l’outil. Dans les
mains de personnes n’ayant pas reçu des instructions
adéquates, les outils sont dangereux.
Entretenir les outils motorisés. Vérifier qu’aucune pièce
mobile n’est mal alignée ou bloquée, qu’aucune pièce
n’est brisée et s’assurer qu’aucun autre problème ne
risque d’affecter le bon fonctionnement de l’outil. En
cas de dommages faire réparer l’outil avant de l’utiliser
de nouveau. Beaucoup d’accidents sont causés par des
outils mal entretenus.
Garder les outils bien affûtés et propres. Des outils
correctement entretenus et dont les tranchants sont bien
affûtés risquent moins de se bloquer et sont plus faciles
à contrôler.
Utiliser l’outil, les accessoires et embouts, etc.
conformément à ces instrutions pour les applications
pour lesquelles ils sont conçus, en tenant compte des
conditions et du type de travail à exécuter. L’usage d’un
outil motorisé pour des applications pour lesquelles il n’est
pas conçu peut être dangereux.
AVERTISSEMENT :
Ne jamais utiliser aucune sorte de meules abrasives
avec cette scie. L’utilisation de lames autres que pour le
bois peut causer des dommages à la propriété ou des
blessures graves.
DÉPANNAGE
Les réparat ions doivent être confiées à un technicien
qualifié, utilisant exclusivement des pièces identiques
à celles d’origine. Ceci assurera le maintien de la sécurité
de l’outil.
Utiliser exclusivement des pièces identiques à celles
d’origine pour les réparations. Se conformer aux
instructions de la section Entretien de ce manuel.
L’usage de pièces non autorisées ou le non-respect des
instructions peut présenter des risques de choc électrique
ou de blessures.
DANGER :
Garder les mains à l’écart de la zone de coupe et
de la lame. Garder la deuxième main sur la poignée
auxiliaire ou le boîtier du moteur. Lorsque les mains
sont utilisées pour tenir la scie, elle ne risquent pas d’être
coupées par la lame.
Ne pas passer les mains au-dessous de la pièce à
couper. La garde de lame n’offre aucune protection au-
dessous de la pièce à couper.
Ajuster la profondeur de coupe en fonction de
l’épaisseur de la pièce à travailler. Sous la pièce à
travailler, on devrait pouvoir distinguer moins d’une dent
entière parmi celles de la lame.
Ne jamais tenir une pièce en train d’être coupée à
la main ou posée sur la jambe. Immobiliser la pièce
à travailler sur une surface stable. Il est essentiel de
soutenir correctement la pièce à couper pour éviter les
risques de coupure, de blocage de la lame et de perte
du contrôle.
Tenir l’outil par ses surfaces de préhension isolées
lors des opérations pendant lesquelles l’accessoire de
coupe peut entrer en contact avec du câblage caché
ou avec son propre cordon d’alimentation. Le contact
avec un fil sous tension « électrifie » les pièces métalliques
exposées de l’outil et peut électrocuter l’utilisateur.
Pour les coupes en long, utiliser un guide de chant ou
autre. Cela augmente la précision de la coupe, en plus
de réduire les risques de coincement de la lame.
Toujours utiliser des lames de la taille correcte, dont
le trou d’axe est approprié (losange au lieu de rond).
Une lame incompatible avec la quincaillerie de montage
de la scie tournerait en faux rond, causant la perte du
contrôle.
Ne jamais utiliser de rondelles ou boulon de lame
incorrects ou endommagés. Les rondelles et boulon
de lame fournis sont conçus spécialement pour assurer
une efficacité et une sécurité maximum.
RÈGLES DE SÉCURITÉ RELATIVES AUX OUTILS ÉLECTRIQUES
AVERTISSEMENTS DE SÉCURITÉ RELATIFS AU SCIE CIRCULAIRE

5 - Français
CAUSES DU REBOND ET PRÉCAUTIONS À
PRENDRE :
Le rebond est une réaction soudaine, causée par une lame
coincée, bloquée ou mal alignée et projetant la scie hors
de la pièce coupée vers le haut, en direction de l’opérateur.
Lorsque la lame est pincée ou bloquée par la fermeture du
trait de coupe, elle se bloque et la force du moteur projette
la scie en direction de l’opérateur.
Si la lame dévie dans le trait de coupe, les dents de l’arrière
risquent de mordre la surface de la planche, causant la
projectiondela lame hors du bois,en directionde l’opérateur.
Une mauvaise utilisation de la scie peut entraîner un rebond
et/ou des méthodes de travail incorrectes et il peut être évité
en prenant les précautions suivantes :
Tenir fermement la scie avec les deux mains et
positionner les bras de manière à pouvoir résister
aux rebonds. Se tenir d’un côté de lame, et non dans
la trajectoire de celle-ci. En cas de rebond, la scie peut
être propulsée vers l’arrière. L’utilisateur peut toutefois
résister aux rebonds et demeurer en contrôle en prenant
les précautions adéquates.
Si la lame se bloque ou si la coupe est interrompue
pour une raison quelconque, relâcher la gâchette et
maintenir la lame dans le trait de coupe jusqu’à ce
qu’elleait complètement cessé de tourner.Pouréviter
un rebond, ne jamais essayer de retirer la scie de la
pièce ou de la tirer en arrière pendant que la lame est
en rotation. Déterminer et éliminer la cause du blocage
de la lame.
Avantderemettrelascieenmarcheen coursde coupe,
centrer la lame dans le trait de scie et s’assurer que
les dents ne mordent pas dans le bois. Si la lame est
bloquée, elle peut causer un rebond et l’éjection du trait
de coupe lorsque la scie est remise en marche.
Soutenir les planches longues afin d’éviter les risques
de pincement de la lame et de rebond. Les planches
longue ont tendance à ployer sous leur propre poids. Des
supports doivent être placés sous la planche, de chaque
côté, près du trait de coupe et du bord de la planche.
Nepasutiliserdelames émousséesou endommagées.
Une lames émoussée ou incorrectement réglée produit
un trait de scie étroit, causant le pincement de la lame
et le rebond.
Les leviers de réglage de profondeur et d’angle de
coupe doivent être fermement serrés et assujettis
avant de commencer la coupe. Si la lame se dérègle
en cours de coupe, elle peut se bloquer et causer un
rebond.
Redoubler de prudence lors de la découpe
d’évidements dans des cloisons ou autres endroits
sans visibilité arrière. La lame peut heurter des objets
ou matériaux causant un rebond.
Avant chaque utilisation, s’assurer que la garde
inférieure se ferme correctement avant chaque
utilisation. Ne pas utiliser la scie si la garde ne
fonctionne pas librement ou ne se ferme pas
instantanément. Ne jamais bloquer la garde inférieure
en position ouverte. En cas de chute accidentelle de la
scie, la garde inférieure peut se déformer. Relever la garde
inférieure avec la poignée de rétraction et vérifier qu’elle
fonctionne librement et ne touche ni la lame, ni aucune
autre pièce, quelle que soit l’angle ou la profondeur de
coupe.
Vérifier le fonctionnement du ressort de la garde
inférieure. Tout problème de fonctionnement de la
garde et du ressort doit être corrigé avant d’utiliser la
scie. Des pièces endommagées, des résidus gommeux
et les accumulations de débris peuvent ralentir le
fonctionnement de la garde inférieure.
La garde doit être rétractée manuellement seulement
pour des coupes spéciales comme des « coupes
plongeantes » ou des « coupes combinées. » Relever
le protège-lame avec la poignée de rétraction puis
relâcher-le dès que la lame pénètre dans le matériau.
La garde inférieure opérera automatiquement pour toutes
les autres coupes.
Toujours s’assurer que la garde inférieure couvre la
lame avant de poser la scie sur le sol ou un établi.
Une lame non protégée tournant en roue libre causerait
un mouvement en arrière de la scie, qui couperait tout ce
qui se trouve sur son passage. Tenir compte du temps
nécessaire à l’arrêt complet de la lame une fois que la
gâchette est relâchée.
RÈGLES DE SÉCURITÉ SUPPLÉMENTAIRES
