Safety warnings for circular saw
Cutting procedures
a) Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
The guard cannot protect you from the
blade below the workpiece.
b) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness
of the workpiece. Less than a full tooth
of the blade teeth should be visible below
the workpiece.
c) Never hold the workpiece in your hands
or across your leg while cutting. Secure
the workpiece to a stable platform. It is
important to support the work properly to
minimize body exposure, blade binding, or
loss of control.
d) Hold the power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces, 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
electric shock.
e) When ripping, always use a rip fence or
straight edge guide. This improves the
accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of
blade binding.
f) 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 off-
centre, causing loss of control.
g) Never use damaged or incorrect blade
washers or bolt. The blade washers and
bolt were specially designed for your saw,
for optimum performance and safety of
operation.
