the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
SERVICE
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CIRCULAR SAWS
Cutting procedures
• DANGER: Keep your hands away from the cutting area and the blade. Keep your sec-
ond hand on the auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both your hands are holding the saw,
they cannot be cut by the blade.
• Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below
the workpiece.
• 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.
• Never hold the workpiece in your hands or across your leg while cutting. Secure the work-
piece to a stable platform. It is important to support the workpiece properly to minimise body
exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cut-
ting tool may make contact with 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.
• When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy of
the cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
• Always use blades with the 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.
• 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.
Kickback causes and related warnings
• Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, jammed or misaligned saw blade, causing an
uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator;
• when the blade is pinched or jammed tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and
the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator;
• if the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade
can dig into the top surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back
toward the operator. Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures
or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below Maintain a firm grip
with both hands on the saw and position your arms to resist kickback forces. Position your body
to either side of the blade, but not in line with the blade. Kickback could cause the saw to jump
backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.
