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. If possible, use a jigsaw.
10. Only make cuts with the blade direction
08
downwards, never upwards or at the side.
11. Do not use a blade unless the rated blade
speed exceeds the saw 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.
19. Do not use any abrasive wheels.
WARNING
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 can
not 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
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 reduce the chance of
blade binding.
g. Always use blades with correct size
and shape (diamond versus round) 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
