TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 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.
Unmodified 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 an earth leakage circuit breaker.
Use of an earth leakage circuit breaker 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 finger 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
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery 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.

9
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
different 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 INSTRUCTIONS FOR CIRCULAR SAWS
DANGER
• Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade;
keep your second hand on front handle (if both hands
are holding the saw, they can not be cut by the blade)
• Do not reach underneath the workpiece (the guard
cannot 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 (it is important to support the work properly to
minimise body exposure, blade binding, or loss of
control)
• Hold 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
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 for blade binding)
• Always use blades with correct size and shape of
arbor holes (diamond or round) (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
bolts (the blade washers and bolt were specially
designed for your saw, for optimum performance and
safety of operation)
KICKBACK - CAUSES
• 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 - OPERATOR PREVENTION
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
• 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 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)
• 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)
• 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 a dull or damaged blade (unsharpened or
improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing
excessive friction, blade binding and kickback)
• 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)
• 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)
WARNING
• 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
• 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)

10
• 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)
GENERAL
• This tool should not be used by people under the age of
16 years
• This tool is not suitable for wet cutting
• Always disconnect plug from power source before
making any adjustment or changing any accessory
• Never use the tool when cord is damaged; have it
replaced by a qualified person
• Do not work materials containing asbestos (asbestos
is considered carcinogenic)
• Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some
wood species, minerals and metal may be harmful
(contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause
allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the
operator or bystanders); wear a dust mask and work
with a dust extraction device when connectable
• Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic
(such as oak and beech dust) especially in conjunction
with additives for wood conditioning; wear a dust
mask and work with a dust extraction device when
connectable
• Follow the dust-related national requirements for the
materials you want to work with
• Only use a saw table provided with a switch that
prevents restarting of the motor after interruption of
voltage
• Only use a saw table provided with a kerf guide
ACCESSORIES
• SKIL can assure flawless functioning of the tool only
when original accessories are used
• Use only accessories with an allowable speed matching
at least the highest no-load speed of the tool
• Never use saw blades made of high speed steel (HSS)
• Never use grinding/cutting discs with this tool
BEFORE USE
• Always check that the supply voltage is the same as the
voltage indicated on the nameplate of the tool (tools
with a rating of 230V or 240V can also be connected to
a 220V supply)
• Avoid damage that can be caused by screws, nails and
other elements in your workpiece; remove them before
you start working
• Remove all obstacles on top of as well as underneath
the cutting path before you start cutting
• Secure the workpiece (a workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more securely than
by hand)
• Use suitable detectors to find hidden utility lines or
call the local utility company for assistance (contact
with electric lines can lead to fire or electrical shock;
damaging a gas line can result in an explosion;
penetrating a water pipe will cause property damage or
an electrical shock)
• Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords with
a capacity of 16 Amps (U.K. 13 Amps)
DURING USE
• The noise level when working can exceed 85 dB(A);
wear ear protection
• Never use the tool without the original protection guard
system
• Do not attempt to cut extremely small workpieces
• Do not work overhead with the tool
• In case of jamming or electrical or mechanical
malfunction, immediately switch off the tool and
disconnect the plug
• If the cord is damaged or cut through while working, do
not touch the cord, but immediately disconnect the plug
AFTER USE
• When you put away the tool, switch off the motor and
ensure that all moving parts have come to a complete
standstill
• After switching off your circular saw, never stop the
rotation of the saw blade by a lateral force applied
against it
WHEN CONNECTING NEW 3-PIN PLUG (U.K. ONLY):
• Do not connect the blue (= neutral) or brown (= live) wire
in the cord of this tool to the earth terminal of the plug
• If for any reason the old plug is cut off the cord of this
tool, it must be disposed of safely and not left

correspond with value on cutting depth scale
• 90° Cutting angle check 5
- adjust and tighten foot K to maximum cutting depth 4
- adjust and tighten cutting angle to 0°
- check for a 90° angle between the blade and bottom
of foot with a square
• Line-of-cut indicator P 6
- for guiding tool along desired line of cut marked on
the workpiece
- for a straight 0° cut or a 45° bevel cut use the
indicator line concerned
! the wide part of the foot should rest on the
supported part of the workpiece
! cutting width is determined by width of blade
teeth and not by width of blade body
! always make trial cuts first to verify actual line of
cut
• Dust suction
- connect vacuum cleaner to extension Q 7
! never let the vacuum cleaner hose interfere with
the lower guard or the cutting operation
- one may also use a dust bag (SKIL accessory
2610387402)

switch which cannot be locked) and then pulling
trigger V
! the tool should run at full speed before the blade
enters into the workpiece
- lower guard F opens automatically when saw blade
enters the workpiece (open lower guard manually by
using lever G only for special cuts such as plunge
cuts)
- do not force the tool; apply light and continuous
pressure
! while working, always hold the tool at the grey-
coloured grip area(s)
- after completing the cut switch off tool by releasing
trigger V
! ensure that the blade has come to a complete
standstill, before you lift the tool from the
workpiece
APPLICATION ADVICE
• Always face the good side of the workpiece down to
ensure minimum splintering
• Only use sharp saw blades of the correct type 8
- quality of cut improves by the number of teeth
- carbide tipped blades stay sharp up to 30 times
longer than ordinary blades
• Rip fence W 9
- for making exact cuts along a workpiece edge
- can be inserted in either side of foot
Adjusting rip fence
- loosen knob X
- adjust to desired cutting width by using rip fence
scale (use line-of-cut indicator P as 0-reference)
- tighten knob X
• Plunge cutting 0
- set desired cutting depth
- tilt tool forward with line-of-cut indicator P lined up
with desired line of cut marked on the workpiece
- open lower guard F with lever G
- just before blade enters workpiece, switch on tool
and gradually lower back end of tool using front end
of foot as hinge-point
- gradually move tool downward as well as forward
- as soon as blade enters the material, release lever G
! never pull tool backwards
• Cutting large panels !
- support panel close to the cut either on floor, table or
workbench
! set cutting depth so that you cut through panel
and not through support
- in case rip fence does not allow desired width of cut,
clamp or nail straight piece of wood to workpiece as
a guide, and use the right side of the foot against this
guide

SPECIFICATIONS TECHNIQUES 1
SECURITE
INSTRUCTIONS GENERALES DE SECURITE
ATTENTION! Lisez tous les avertissements de
sécurité et toutes les instructions. Ne pas suivre les
avertissements et instructions peut entraîner un choc
électrique, un incendie et/ou de graves blessures sur les
personnes. Conservez tous les avertissements et
toutes les instructions pour pouvoir s’y reporter
ultérieurement. La notion d’”outil électroportatif” dans les
avertissements se rapporte à des outils électriques
raccordés au secteur (avec câble de raccordement) et à
des outils électriques à batterie (sans câble de
raccordement).
1) SECURITE DE LA ZONE DE TRAVAIL
a) Maintenez l’endroit de travail propre et bien éclairé.
Un lieu de travail en désordre ou mal éclairé augmente
le risque d’accidents.
b) N’utilisez pas l’outil dans un environnement
présentant des risques d’explosion et où se trouvent
des liquides, des gaz ou poussières inflammables.
Les outils électroportatifs génèrent des étincelles
risquant d’enflammer les poussières ou les vapeurs.
c) Tenez les enfants et autres personnes éloignés
durant l’utilisation de l’outil électroportatif. En cas
d’inattention vous risquez de perdre le contrôle sur
l’outil.
2) SECURITE RELATIVE AU SYSTEME ELECTRIQUE
a) La fiche de secteur de l’outil électroportatif doit être
appropriée à la prise de courant. Ne modifiez en
aucun cas la fiche. N’utilisez pas de fiches
d’adaptateur avec des outils avec mise à la terre.
Les fiches non modifiées et les prises de courant
appropriées réduisent le risque de choc électrique.
b) Evitez le contact physique avec des surfaces mises
à la terre telles que tuyaux, radiateurs, fours et
réfrigérateurs. Il y a un risque élevé de choc électrique
au cas où votre corps serait relié à la terre.
c) N’exposez pas l’outil électroportatif à la pluie ou à
l’humidité. La pénétration d’eau dans un outil
électroportatif augmente le risque d’un choc électrique.
d) N’utilisez pas le câble à d’autres fins que celles
prévues, n’utilisez pas le câble pour porter l’outil ou
pour l’accrocher ou encore pour le débrancher de la
prise de courant. Maintenez le câble éloigné des
sources de chaleur, des parties grasses, des bords
tranchants ou des parties de l’outil en rotation.
Un câble endommagé ou torsadé augmente le risque
d’un choc électrique.
e) Au cas où vous utiliseriez l’outil électroportatif à
l’extérieur, utilisez une rallonge autorisée
homologuée pour les applications extérieures.
L’utilisation d’une rallonge électrique homologuée pour
les applications extérieures réduit le risque d’un choc
électrique.
f) Si l’usage d’un outil dans un emplacement humide
est inévitable, utilisez un disjoncteur de fuite à la
terre. L’utilisation d’un disjoncteur de fuite à la terre
réduit le risque de choc électrique.
