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 backwards while the blade is in motion or kickback may occur
(investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding; avoid cutting nails or
screws)
• When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth are
not engaged into the material (if saw blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as
the saw is restarted)
• Support large panels to minimize 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)
• Do not use a dull or damaged blade (unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing
excessive friction, blade binding and kickback)
• Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making cut (if blade
adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback)
• Use extra caution when making a plunge cut into existing walls or other blind areas (the protruding
blade may cut objects that can cause kickback)
WARNING
• Check lower guard for proper closing before each use
• Do not operate the saw if lower guard does not move freely and close instantly
• Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position
• If saw is accidentally dropped, 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
• 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)
• Lower guard should be retracted manually only for special cuts such as plunge cuts and compound
cuts; raise lower guard by retracting 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)
• Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing 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)
• Avoid damage that can be caused by screws, nails and other elements in your workpiece; remove them
before you start cutting
• When you put away the tool, switch off the motor and ensure that all moving parts have come to a complete
standstill
• Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords with a capacity of 16Amps (U.K. 13Amps)
• In case of jamming or electrical or mechanical malfunction, immediately switch off the tool and disconnect
the plug
• The WORLDPRO can assure fl awless functioning of the tool only when original accessories are used
• Use only accessories with an allowable speed matching at least the highest no-load speed of the tool
• Never use the tool without the original protection guard system
• This tool should not be used by people under the age of 16 years
• The noise level when working can exceed 85 dB(A);wear ear protection
• If the cord is damaged or cut through while working, do not touch the cord, but immediately disconnect the
plug
• Never use tool when cord is damaged; have it replaced by a qualified person
• Always check that the supply voltage is the same as the voltage indicated on the nameplate of the tool (tools
with a rating of 230V or 240V can also be connected to a 220V supply)
• This tool is not suitable for wet cutting
• After switching off your circular saw, never stop the rotation of the saw blade by a lateral force applied
against it
• Never use circular saw blades made of high speed steel (HSS)
• Never use grinding/cutting discs with this tool
• Do not work materials containing asbestos (asbestos is considered carcinogenic)
• Take protective measures when during work dust can develop that is harmful to one's health,
combustible or explosive (some dusts are considered carcinogenic); wear a dust mask and work with
dust/chip extraction when connectable
• Do not attempt to cut extremely small workpieces
• Remove all obstacles on top of as well as underneath the cutting path before you start cutting
• Do not work overhead with the tool
