GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings designated by the symbol and
all 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 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 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.
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.

CIRCULAR SAW 2000W TTB287CSW
SAFETY INSTRUCTION FOR YOUR CIRCULAR SAW WITH INNER
PENDULUM GUARD
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. Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle and make sure it moves freely
and does not touch the blade or any other parts, 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 blade to stop after
switch is released.
DANGER!
a. Keep hands away form 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.
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 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 properly to minimise
body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
e. 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.
f. When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the
accuracy of cut and reduce the chance of blade binding.
g. Always use blades with correct size and shape of arbor 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.
FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL SAWS
Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
- Kickback is a sudden reaction to pinched, bound or misalign 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 misalign 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 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. Switch off
and disconnect the power supply then investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate
the cause of blade binding.
c. When restarting a saw in the work-piece, 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 work-piece as the saw is restarted.
d. Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade pinching and kickback.
Large 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 product narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade
binding and kickback.
f. Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure befor
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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR YOUR CIRCULAR SAW
1. Always wear a dust mask, hearing protection and eye protection.
2. Only use saw blades recommended in the specification.
3. Always wear gloves when handling saw blades and rough material. Saw blades shall be
carried in a holder whenever practicable.
4. Fully unwind cable drum extension to avoid potential overheating.
5. When an extension cable is required you must ensure it has the correct ampere rating for
your power tool and is in a safe electrical condition.
6. Ensure your mains supply voltage is the same as indicated on the rating plate.
7. Your circular saw is a hand held tool, do not clamp your circular saw.
8. Before cutting, check the cutting line is free of nails, screws, etc.
9. Do not cut small workpieces with a circular saw.
10. Only make cuts with the blade direction downwards, never upwards or at the side.
11. Only Use blades that have a rated speed higher than the power tools no load speed.
12. Never remove the guard system. Never use the saw if the guard system does not function
correctly. Never lock the moving guard open. The guard must move freely.
13. Never use saw blades made from high speed steel(HSS).
14. Always check walls, floors and ceilings to avoid hidden power cable and pipes.
15. After long working periods external metal parts and accessories could be hot.
16. Do not cut material containing asbestos.
17. Do not use metal or stone saw blades. Only use wood saw blades.
18. Do not use circular saw to cut tree limbs or logs.

other construction jobs contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
Lead from lead-based paints.
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products.
Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated timber.
Your risk form these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
Work in a well ventilated area.
Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that specially designed
to filter out microscopic particles and use the dust extraction facility at all time.
- Wear ear protectors when using this tool. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
VIBRATION
The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive has been brought in to help reduce hand arm
vibration syndrome injuries to power tool users. The directive requires power tool manufacturers
and suppliers to provide indicative vibration test results to enable users to make informed
decisions as to the period of time a power tool can be used safely on a daily basis and the choice
of tool.

WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR CIRCULAR
SAW
If your power tool becomes too hot, run no load for 2-3
minutes to cool the motor. Avoid prolonged usage at very
low speeds. Always use a blade suited to the material and
material thickness to be cut. The quality of cut will improve
as the number of blade teeth increases. Always ensure that
the work-piece is firmly held or clamped to prevent
movement. Support large panels close to the cut line. Any
movement of the material may affect the quality of the cut.
The blade cuts on the upward stroke and may chip the
uppermost surface or edges of your work piece. When
cutting, ensure your uppermost surface is a non- visible
surface when your work is finished.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying
out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or
maintenance. There are no user serviceable parts in your
power tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean
your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store
your power tool in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation
slots clean. Keep all working controls free of dust.
Occasionally you may see sparks through the ventilation
slots. This is normal and will not damage your power tool. If
the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Waste electrical products should not be disposed
of with household waste. Please recycle where
