backward while the blade is in motion or kick-
back may occur. Investigate and take corrective
actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
• 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 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.
• Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpe-
ned 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 sawing into existing
walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade
may cut objects that can cause kickback.
Lower guard function
• 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 posi-
tion. 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.
• The lower guard may be retracted manually
only for special cuts such as "plunge cuts and
angle cuts". Raise the lower guard by retracting
the handle and as soon as the blade enters the
material, release the lower guard. For all other
sawing operations, 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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
• Do not reach into the chip ejector with your
hands. They could be injured by rotating parts.
• Do not work overhead with the saw. In this
manner you do not have sufficient control over
the power tool.
• Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility
lines are hidden in the work area or call the lo­
cal utility company for assistance. Contact with
electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock.
Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Pe-
netrating a water line causes property damage.
• Do not operate the power tool stationary. It is
not designed for operation with a saw table.
• Do not use high speed steel (HSS) saw blades.
Such saw blades can easily break.
• Do not saw ferrous metals. Red hot chips can
ignite the dust extraction.
• When working with the machine, always hold it
firmly with both hands and provide for a secure
stance. The power tool is guided more secure
with both hands.
• Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held more
secure than by hand.
• Always wait until the machine has come to a
complete stop before placing it down. The tool
insert can jam and lead to loss of control over
the power tool.
• Circular saws are intended to cut wood or
wood­like products, they cannot be used with
abrasive cut­off wheels for cutting ferrous ma­
terial such as bars, rods, studs, etc. Abrasive
dust causes moving parts such as the lower
guard to jam. Sparks from abrasive cutting will
burn the lower guard, the kerf insert and other
plastic parts.
• Use only saw blades that are marked with a
speed equal or higher than the speed marked
on the machine.
• Only use saw blades that match the specifica­
tions given in this operating manual and that
have been tested and marked in accordance
with EN 847­1.
