blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR CIRCULAR SAW WITH
INNER PENDULUM GUARD
Lower guard function
a) 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.
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) The lower guard may be retracted manually
only for special cuts such as "plunge cuts"
and "compound cuts." Raise the lower
guard by retracting handle and as soon as
10
the 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 the 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. Use only saw blades recommended by the
manufacturer, which conform to EN 847-1, if
intended for wood and analogous materials.
2. Do not use any abrasive wheels.
3. Use only blade diameter(s) in accordance with the
markings.
4. Identify the correct saw blade to be used for the
material to be cut.
5. Use only saw blades that are marked with a speed
equal or higher than the speed marked on the
tool.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY
RULES FOR YOUR CUTTING-
OFF MACHINES
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 bonded reinforced or 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 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. Incorrectly 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) Do not use damaged wheels. Before each
use, inspect the wheels for chips and
cracks. If power tool or wheel is dropped,
inspect for damage or install an undamaged
wheel. After inspecting and installing the
wheel, position yourself and bystanders
away from the plane of the rotating wheel
and run the power tool at maximum no load
speed for one minute. Damaged wheels will
normally break apart during this test time.
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
