a ) Maintain a firm grip with both hands 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, centre
the saw blade in the kerf so that the saw teeth are
not engaged into the material. If saw blade binds, it
may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw
is restarted.
d ) Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade
pinching and kickback. 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 the 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 Saws with a
Pendulum Blade 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 the handle
and as soon as 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 Specific Safety Instructions for
Circular Saws

WARNING: Do not allow familiarity (gained from
frequent use of your saw) to replace safety rules. Always
remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient
to inflict severe injury.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
•
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the
work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
• Keep your body positioned to either side of the blade,
but not in line with the saw blade. KICKBACK could cause
the saw to jump backwards (see kickback Causes and
Related Warnings and kickback).
• Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from
lumber before cutting.
• Always make sure nothing interferes with the movement
of the lower blade guard.
• Install the dust extraction port onto the saw before use.
• Accessories must be rated for at least the speed
recommended on the tool warning label. Wheels and
other accessories running over rated speed can fly apart and
cause injury. Accessory ratings must always be above tool
speed as shown on tool nameplate.
• Always make sure the saw is clean before using.
• Stop using this saw and have it properly serviced if any
unusual noise or abnormal operation occcurs.
• Always be sure all components are mounted properly and
securely before using tool.
• Always handle the saw blade with care when mounting or
removing it or when removing the diamond knockout.
• Always wait until the motor has reached full speed before
starting a cut.
• Always keep handles dry, clean and free of oil and grease. Hold
the tool firmly with both hands when in use.
• Always be alert at all times, especially during repetitive,
monotonous operations. Always be sure of position of your
hands relative to the blade.
• Stay clear of end pieces that may fall after cutting off. They
may be hot, sharp and/or heavy. Serious personal injury
may result.
• Use only saw blades that are marked with a speed equal
or higher than the speed marked on the tool.
• Avoid overheating of the blade tips.
