TECHNICAL DATA 1
SAFETY
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areasinviteaccidents.
b) 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.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a power tool.Distractionscancauseyoutolosecontrol.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Waterenteringapowertoolwillincreasetheriskof
electric shock.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) 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.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.Thisenablesbettercontrolofthepowertool
in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts.Looseclothes,jewelryorlonghair
canbecaughtinmovingparts.
g) 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.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) 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.

10
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likelytobindandareeasiertocontrol.
g) 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
dierentfromthoseintendedcouldresultinahazardous
situation.
5) SERVICE
a) 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.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR CIRCULAR SAWS
1) CUTTING PROCEDURES
a) 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cannotbecutbytheblade.
b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard
cannotprotectyoufromthebladebelowtheworkpiece.
c) 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.
d) Never hold the workpiece 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.
e) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, 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.
f) When ripping always use a parallel guide or straight
edge guide.Thisimprovestheaccuracyofcutand
reducesthechanceofbladebinding.
g) 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.
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.
2) KICKBACK CAUSES AND RELATED WARNINGS
• 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
• 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towardsoperator
• Kickbackistheresultoftool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 in the material until the blade
comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to
remove the saw from the work or pull the saw
backwards while the blade is in motion or kickback
may occur.Investigateandtakecorrectiveactionsto
eliminatethecauseofbladebinding.Avoidcuttingnails
or screws.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or
improperlysetbladesproducenarrowkerf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 sawing into existing walls or
other blind areas.Theprotrudingblademaycutobjects
that can cause kickback.
3) LOWER GUARD FUNCTION
a) 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 lower guard into the open position.Ifsawis
accidentallydropped,lowerguardmaybebent.Disconnect
the plug, 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.
b) 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.
c) 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.
d) 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.
