2. Do not attempt to remove cut material when blade
is moving. Wait until blade stops before grasping
cut material. Blades coast after turn off.
3. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from lumber before cutting.
4. Place the wider portion of the saw base on that
part of the workpiece which is solidly supported,
not on the section that will fall off when the cut is
made. If the workpiece is short or small, clamp it
down. DO NOT TRY TO HOLD SHORT PIECES BY
HAND! (Fig. 5)
5. Before setting the tool down after completing a
cut, be sure that the guard has closed and the
blade has come to a complete stop.
6. Never attempt to saw with the circular saw held
upside down in a vise. This is extremely
dangerous and can lead to serious accidents.
(Fig. 6)
7. Some material contains chemicals which may be
toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and
skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.
8. Do not stop the blades by lateral pressure on the
saw blade.
9. Do not use any abrasive wheels.
10. Only use the saw blade with the diameter that is
marked on the tool or specified in the manual. Use
of an incorrectly sized blade may affect the proper
guarding of the blade or guard operation which could
result in serious personal injury.
11. Keep blade sharp and clean. Gum and wood pitch
hardened on blades slows saw and increases
potential for kickback. Keep blade clean by first
removing it from tool, then cleaning it with gum and
pitch remover, hot water or kerosene. Never use
gasoline.
12. Wear a dust mask and hearing protection when
use the tool.
13. Always use the saw blade intended for cutting the
material that you are going to cut.
14. Only use the saw blades that are marked with a
speed equal or higher than the speed marked on
the tool.
15. (For European countries only)
Always use the blade which conforms to EN847-1,
if intended for wood and analogous materials.
16. Place the tool and the parts on a flat and stable
surface. Otherwise the tool or the parts may fall and
cause an injury.
