SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CIRCULAR
SAWS
Cutting procedures
a.
DANGER: Keep hands away
from cutting area and the
blade. Keep your second hand
on auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If
both hands are holding the saw, they
cannot be cut by the blade.
b.
Do not reach underneath the work-
piece. The guard cannot protect you from
the blade below the workpiece.
c.
Adjust the cutting depth to the thick-
ness of the workpiece. Less than a full
tooth of the blade teeth should be visible
below the workpiece.
d. Never hold piece being cut in your
hands or across your leg. Secure the
workpiece to a stable platform. It is impor-
tant to support the work properly to mini-
mise body exposure, blade binding, or
loss of control.
e.
Hold the power tool by insulated grip-
ping surfaces only, when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will also make
exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and could give the operator an elec-
tric shock.
f.
When ripping, always use a rip fence or
straight edge guide. This improves the
accuracy of cut and reduces the chance
of blade binding.
g.
Always use blades with correct size
and shape (diamond versus round) of
arbour holes. Blades that do not match
the mounting hardware of the saw will run
eccentrically, causing loss of control.
h.
Never use damaged or incorrect blade
washers or bolts. The blade washers and
bolt were specially designed for your saw,
for optimum performance and safety of
operation.
