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 Causes and Operator
Prevention
of
Kickback
and KICKBACK).

Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are
NO T safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation
is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT_
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI $12.6 ($3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA
respiratory protection.
A WARNING:
Some dust created by power
sanding,
sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products, and
• arsenic and chromMm from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved
safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged
contact
with dust from power
sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities.
Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap
and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on
the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
A WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust,
which may cause serious and permanent
respiratory
or other
injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA
approved
respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face
and body.
_ WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing protection
that conforms to ANSI $12.6 ($3.19) during use. Under some
conditions
and duration of use, noise from this product
may
contribute to hearing loss.
A CAUTION: When not in use, place circular saw on a stable
surface, shoe side down, where it will not cause a tripping or
falling hazard. Some tools with large battery packs will stand upright
on the battery pack but may be easily knocked over.
