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.
WARNING: When used in Australia or New Zealand, it is recommended that this tool is ALWAYS
supplied via Residual Current Device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30mA or less.
5) Service
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 Safety
WARNINGS. Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch power point
receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on
the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage greater than that specified for the
tool can result in serious injury to the user, and damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not plug
in the tool. Using a power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful
to the motor.
DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep your second hand on
the auxiliary, or motor housing. If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by
the blade.
Note: For circular saws with 140 mm or smaller diameter blades, the "keep your second
hand on auxiliary handle, or motor housing" may be omitted.
• 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. Secure the workpiece to a
stable platform. It is important to support the work properly to minimise body exposure,
blade binding, or loss of control.
• 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 electric shock.
• When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy of
cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
• 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.
• 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.
a) Do not allow anyone under the age of 18 years to operate this saw
b) When operating the saw, use safety equipment including safety goggles or shield, ear
protection, dust mask and protective clothing including safety gloves
c) Hand-held power tools may produce vibration. Vibration can cause disease. Gloves may
help to maintain good blood circulation in the fingers. Hand-held tools should not be used
for long periods without a break
d) Whenever possible, use a vacuum dust extraction system to control dust/waste
e) Do not attempt to cut material thicker than detailed in the Specifications section of this
manual
f) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece i.e. less than a full tooth of the
blade should be visible below the workpiece
g) Ensure that work is correctly supported. Large panels may sag under their own weight
and bind the saw blade. Supports must be placed under the panel on both sides, close to
the line of cut and near the edge of the panel
h) Ensure all supports and power cables are completely clear of the cutting path
i) Always secure the workpiece to a stable platform, ensuring body exposure is minimised,
avoiding blade binding, or loss of control
j) Always stand at an angle to the tool when operating
k) Be aware that the blade will project from the underside of the workpiece
GB l) Do not reach beneath the workpiece where the guard cannot protect you from the blade
m) Note the direction of rotation of the motor and the blade
n) Inspect the workpiece and remove all nails and other embedded objects prior to starting
work
o) Do not apply any sideways or twisting force to the blade whilst cutting
p) If a cut does not extend to the edge of the workpiece, or if the blade binds in the cut, allow
the blade to come to a complete stop and lift the saw out of the workpiece
q) Do not attempt to free a jammed blade before first disconnecting the machine from power
r) Do not move the saw backwards at any time whilst cutting

s) Beware of projected waste. In some situations, waste material may be projected at speed
from the cutting tool. It is the user's responsibility to ensure that other people in the work
area are protected from the possibility of projected waste
t) If you are interrupted when operating the saw, complete the process and switch off before
diverting your attention
u) Check the lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if the
lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard
into the open position. If the saw is accidentally dropped, the 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 part, in all angles and depths of cut
v) Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before resting the saw on a
surface after use. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to move backwards,
cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after the
trigger switch is released
w) Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fixings have not loosened,
tighten where necessary
The tool must be used only for its prescribed purpose. Any use other than those mentioned in
this manual will be considered a case of misuse. The user, and not the manufacturer, shall be
liable for any damage or injury resulting from such cases of misuse.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for any modifications made to the tool nor for any damage
resulting from such modifications.
Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk factors.
