Cutting procedures
Keep
hands
away
from
cutting
area
and
blade.
Keep your second
hand on auxiliary
handle,
or motor housing.
If 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 piece being cut in your
hands
or across
your
leg. Secure
the workpiece
to
stable
platform.
It is important
to support the
work
properly
to minimize
body
exposure,
blade binding, or loss of control.
Hold power
tool
by the insulated
gripping
surfaces
when
performing
an operation
where
the cutting
tool
may contact
hidden
wiring
or it own cord. Contact with a "live" wire
will also make exposed
metal parts of the tool
"live" and shock the operator.
When
ripping
always
use a rip fence
or
straight
edge
guide.
This improves
accuracy
of cut and reduces the chance for blade binding.
Always
use
blades
with
correct
size
and
shape
(diamond
vs. round)
of arbor
holes.
Blades
that
do not match
the mounting
hardware
of the saw
will run eccentrically,
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.
This
product
is intended
to cut wood
and
wood-like
products
only.
Dust
build up
around
the lower guard and hub from other
materials
(plastic,
masonry
or metal)
may
disable the lower guard operation.
Inspect
the condition
and quality
of the
wood
and remove
all nails
from
lumber
before
cutting.
Wet lumber,
green lumber or
pressure
treated
lumber
require
special
attention
during
cutting
operation
to prevent
kickback.
Hold
the saw
firmly
to prevent
loss
of
control.

all instructions.
Depending upon use, the switch may not
last the life of the saw. If the switch should
fail in the "OFF" position, the saw may not
start. If it should fail while the saw is
running, the saw may not shut off. If either
occurs, unplug the saw immediately and do
not use until repaired.
This circular saw should not be mounted to
a table
and converted
to a table
saw.
Circular saws are not designed or intended to
be used as table saws.
Kickback and related warnings
Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
Kickback
is a sudden
reaction
to a pinched,
bound
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 bound 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 tool 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
body and arm to
allow
you
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.
When blade is binding,
or when interrupting
a cut for any reason,
release the trigger
and
hold
the saw
motionless
in the material
until
the blade
comes
to a complete
stop.
Never attempt
to remove
the saw from the
work
or pull the saw
backward
while
the
blade
is in motion
or kickback
may occur.
Investigate
and take
corrective
action
to
eliminate the cause of blade binding.
When
restarting
a saw
in a workpiece,
center
the saw blade in the kerf and check
that
saw
teeth
are not engaged
