13Amp 7-1/4in. Circular Saw
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a quali ed repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
Safety instructions for circular saws
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 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 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 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 wash
ers and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum perfor
mance and safety of operation.
Further safety instructions for circular saws
• 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.
