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.
1. WORK AREA SAFETY
1) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2) 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.
3) Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1) 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.
2) 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.
3) Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
4) 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.
5) 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.
6) 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
1) 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.
2) 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.
3) 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.
4) 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.
5) Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.This
enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
6) 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.
7) 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
1) 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.
2) 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.
3) 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.
4) 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.
5) 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.
6) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
7) 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. BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
1) Recharge only with the charger
specified by the manufacturer. A
charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when
used with another battery pack.
2) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
3) When battery pack is not in use, keep
it away from other metal objects, like
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws
or other small metal objects, that can
make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
4) Under abusive conditions, liquid
may be ejected from the battery;
avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
6. SERVICE
1) 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
ALL SAWS
a) DANGER: Keep hands away from
cutting area and the blade. If both
hands are holding the saw, they cannot 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 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.
e) Hold the power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces only, when
performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring. 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 rip fence
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.
FURTHER SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL
SAWS
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 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 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. Investigate and
take corrective actions to eliminate the
cause of blade binding.
c) When restarting a saw in the
workpiece, center 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 minimize the
risk of blade pinching and kickback.

15
20V Lithium-Ion Cordless Circular Saw
WX523
WX523.9
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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR PLUNGE TYPE SAW
GUARD FUNCTION
a) Check guard for proper closing before
each use. Do not operate the saw
if guard does not move freely and
enclose the blade instantly. Never
clamp or tie the guard so that the
blade is exposed. If saw is accidentally
dropped, guard may be bent. Check to
make sure that guard moves freely and
does not touch the blade or any other part,
in all angles and depths of cut.
b) Check the operation and condition of
the guard return spring. If the guard
and the spring are not operating
properly, they must be serviced
before use. Guard may operate sluggishly
due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or
a build-up of debris.
c) Assure that the base plate of the saw will
not shift while performing the “plunge
cut” when the blade bevel setting is not
at 90°. Blade shifting sideways will cause
binding and likely kick back.
d) Always observe that the 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 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) Use only blade diameter(s) in accordance
with the markings.
CUT-OFF MACHINE SAFETY
WARNINGS
a) The guard provided with the tool must
be securely attached to the power
tool and positioned for maximum
safety, so the least amount of wheel
is exposed towards the operator.
Position yourself and bystanders away
from the plane of the rotating wheel.
The guard helps to protect operator from
broken wheel fragments and accidental
contact with wheel.
b) Use only diamond cut-off wheels
for your power tool. Just because an
accessory can be attached to your power
tool, it does not assure safe operation.
C) The rated speed of the accessory
must be at least equal to the
maximum speed marked on the power
tool. Accessories running faster than their
rated speed can break and fly apart.
d) Wheels must be used only for
recommended applications. For
example: do not grind with the side
of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels
are intended for peripheral grinding, side
forces applied to these wheels may cause
them to shatter.
e) Always use undamaged wheel flanges
that are of correct diameter for your
selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges
support the wheel thus reducing the
possibility of wheel breakage.
f) Do not use worn down reinforced
wheels from larger power tools.
Wheels intended for a larger power tool
are not suitable for the higher speed of a

16
20V Lithium-Ion Cordless Circular Saw
WX523
WX523.9
smaller tool and may burst.
g) The outside diameter and the
thickness of your accessory must
be within the capacity rating of your
power tool. lncorrectly sized accessories
cannot be adequately guarded or
controlled.
h) The arbour size of wheels and flanges
must properly fit the spindle of
the power tool. Wheels and flanges
with arbour holes that do not match the
mounting hardware of the power tool will
run out of balance, vibrate excessively and
may cause loss of control.
i) Hold the power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces only, when
performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden
wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a
“live” wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool “live” and could give the
operator an electric shock.
j) Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face
shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. As appropriate, wear dust
mask, hearing protectors, gloves and
shop apron capable of stopping small
abrasive or workpiece fragments.
The eye protection must be capable of
stopping flying debris generated by various
operations.The dust mask or respirator
must be capable of filtrating particles
generated by your operation. Prolonged
exposure to high intensity noise may cause
hearing loss.
k) Keep bystanders a safe distance away
from work area. Anyone entering
the work area must wear personal
protective equipment. Fragments of
workpiece or of a broken wheel may fly
away and cause injury beyond immediate
area of operation.
I) Hold the power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces only, when
performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden
wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a
“live” wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool “live” and could give the
operator an electric shock.
m)Never lay the power tool down until
the accessory has come to a complete
stop. The spinning wheel may grab the
surface and pull the power tool out of your
control.
n) Do not run the power tool while
carrying it at your side. Accidental
contact with the spinning accessory could
snag your clothing, pulling the accessory
into your body.
o) Regularly clean the power tool’s air
vents. The motor’s fan will draw the
dust inside the housing and excessive
accumulation of powdered metal may
cause electrical hazards.
p) Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials. Sparks could ignite
these materials.
KICKBACK AND RELATED WARNINGS
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel. Pinching or snagging
causes rapid stalling of the rotating wheel
which in turn causes the uncontrolled power
tool to be forced in the direction opposite of
the wheel’s rotation at the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged
or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the
wheel that is entering into the pinch point can
dig into the surface of the material causing
the wheel to climb out or kick out.The wheel
may either jump toward or away from the
operator, depending on direction of the
wheel’s movement at the point of pinching.
Abrasive wheels may also break under these
conditions.
Kickback is the result of power 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 on the power
tool and position your body and
arm to allow you to resist kickback
forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if
provided, for maximum control over
kickback or torque reaction during
start-up. The operator can control torque
reactions or kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.

17
20V Lithium-Ion Cordless Circular Saw
WX523
WX523.9
b) Never place your hand near the
rotating accessory. Accessory may
kickback over your hand.
C) Do not position your body in line with
the rotating wheel. Kickback will propel
the tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s
movement at the point of snagging.
d) Use special care when working
Corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid
bouncing and snagging the accessory.
Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a
tendency to snag the rotating accessory
and cause loss of control or kickback.
e) Do not attach a saw chain,
woodcarving blade, segmented
diamond wheel with a peripheral
gap greater than 10 mm or toothed
saw blade. Such blades create frequent
kickback and loss of control.
f) Do not “jam” the wheel or apply
excessive pressure. Do not attempt
to make an excessive depth of cut.
Overstressing the wheel increases the
loading and susceptibility to twisting or
binding of the wheel in the cut and the
possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
g) When wheel is binding or when
interrupting a cut for any reason,
switch off the power tool and hold the
power tool motionless until the wheel
Comes to a complete stop. Never
attempt to remove the wheel from
the cut while the wheel is in motion
otherwise kickback may occur.
lnvestigate and take corrective action to
eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
h) Do not restart the cutting operation
in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach
full speed and carefully re-enter the
cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or
kickback if the power tool is restarted in the
workpiece.
i) Support panels or any oversized
workpiece to minimize the risk of
wheel pinching and kickback. Large
workpieces tend to sag under their own
weight. Supports must be placed under the
workpiece near the line of cut and near the
edge of the workpiece on both sides of the
wheel.
j) Use extra caution when making a
“pocket cut” into existing walls or
other blind areas.The protruding wheel
may cut gas or water pipes, electrical
wiring or objects that can cause kickback.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY
RULES:
1. Always wear a dust mask.
