When the cutting blade jams or stops cutting due to any
b.
reason, release the switch button and hold the saw still in the
material until the blade or disc stops completely. Never attempt
removing the cutting blade from material being cut nor pull the
saw back when the blade is rotating. It may cause kick back.
Investigate and implement correction actions to eliminate causes of
cutting blade seizing.
When restarting the saw in the processed material, centre
c.
the cutting blade in the kerf and ensure the blade teeth are
not blocked in the material. When the cutting blade jams during
restart, it may slide off or cause kick back against the processed
material.
Support large boards to minimize risk of pinching and kick back
d.
of the circular saw. Large boards tend to bend under own weight.
Place supports under board on both sides, close to the cutting line
and close to the board edge.
Do not use blunt or damaged cutting blades. Blunt or incorrectly
e.
positioned blade teeth create narrow kerf, excessive friction, jamming
of cutting blade and kick back.
Firmly set clamps for cutting depth and bevel angle before
f.
making a cut. Change of saw settings when making a cut may cause
jamming and kick back.
Be very careful during plunge cutting in division walls. Cutting
g.
blade may encounter objects not visible from the outside and cause
kick back.
Features of the lower protective guard.
Make sure the lower guard is appropriately positioned before
a.
each use. Do not use the saw when the lower guard does not
move freely and does not close immediately. Do not fix and
do not leave the lower guard open. When the saw is accidentally
dropped the lower guard may get deformed. Lift the lower guard
with pull-handle and ensure it is free to move and does not touch the
blade nor any other part of the tool for any setting of cutting depth
and angle.
Check functioning of the lower guard spring. Repair the guard
b.
and its spring before use when they do not work properly. Lower
guard functioning may be slowed down due to damaged parts, sticky
sediments or building up of layers of wastes.
Manual pulling off the lower guard is allowed only when special
c.
cutting is performed, such as "plunge cutting" and "compound
cutting". Lift the lower guard with its pull handle. As soon as the
cutting blade sinks in the material the guard must be released.
For all other cuts it is recommended that the lower guard works
automatically.
Always make sure the lower guard covers cutting blade before
d.
putting the circular saw away on the workbench or floor.
Uncovered, rotating blade will move the circular saw back and will
cut everything
Additional safety instructions
Precautions
• Do not use damaged or deformed cutting blades.
• Do not use grinding wheels.
• Use only cutting blades that are recommended by the
manufacturer and comply with the standard EN 847-1.
• Do not use cutting blades without sintered carbide tips on teeth.
• Dust of certain wood types may be dangerous to health. Direct
physical contact with dusts may cause allergic reaction and/or
respiratory system diseases of operator or bystanders. Dusts of oak
and beech are considered carcinogenic, especially in connection
with wood processing substances (wood impregnants).
• Use personal protection measures, such as:
- earmuff protectors to reduce risk of hearing damage,
- eye shield,
- respiratory system protection to reduce risk of harmful dusts
inhalation,
- gloves for maintenance of cutting blades and other rough and
sharp materials (hold cutting blades by mount hole whenever
possible).
• Connect dust extraction system when cutting wood.
Safe work and maintenance
• Match cutting blade with material that you plan to cut.
• Never use the saw for cutting materials other than wood and
wood-like.
• Do not use the saw without guard or when the guard is blocked.
• Floor close to the machine work place must be kept tidy and
without loose materials and protrusions.
• Provide appropriate work place illumination.
• Machine operator must be properly trained for use, operation and
working with the machine.
• Use only sharp cutting blades.
• Observe maximum speed indicated on the cutting blade.
• Make sure to use parts in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
• Disconnect the saw from power supply when performing
maintenance tasks.
• If the power cord gets damaged during operation, disconnect the
power supply immediately. DO NOT TOUCH POWER CORD BEFORE
DISCONNECTING FROM THE POWER SUPPLY.
• If the saw is equipped with laser, replacement with laser of
another type is forbidden and all repairs must be carried out by
Do not use the tool in stationary mode. It is not designed for use
with sawing table.
• Fix processed material to stable surface and secure with clamps or
vice to eliminate shifting. This kind of work piece fixation is safer
than holding the work piece in hand.
• Wait until blade comes to a complete stop before putting the
power tool away. Cutting blade may jam and cause loss of control
over the power tool.
CAUTION! This device is designed to operate indoors.
The design is assumed to be safe, protection measures and
additional safety systems are used, nevertheless there is always a
small risk of injuries at work.
