SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR CORDLESS CIRCULAR SAWS
• Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of personal injury.
• Always disconnect the battery pack from
the tool or place the switch in the locked or off
position before any assembly, adjustments or changing
of accessories. Following this instruction will reduce the
risk of serious personal injury.
• Do not place battery tools or their batteries
near fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of
explosion and possibly personal injury.
• Never use a battery which has been
dropped or received a sharp blow. A damaged
battery is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a
dropped or damaged battery immediately.
• Use designated battery packs (Genesis™
- Model GLAB2020B or GLAB2040B) and
charger for this tool. Use of any other batteries
may result in a risk of fire.
KICKBACK CAUSES AND 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.
• 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.
• When
a
blade
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 actions to eliminate the cause of blade
binding.
• When restarting a saw in the workpiece,
center the saw blade in the kerf and check
that saw teeth are not engaged into the
material. If a saw blade binds, it may walk up or
kickback from the workpiece as the saw is restarted.
• Support large panels to minimize the risk of
blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend
to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed
under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and
near the edge of the panel.
is
binding,
or
when
• Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow
kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and
kickback.
• Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking
levers must be tight and secure before
making the cut. If blade adjustments shift while
cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.
• Use extra caution when sawing into existing
walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade
may cut objects that can cause kickback.
LOWER GUARD CAUTIONS
• Check the lower guard for proper closing
before each use. Do not operate the saw if the lower
guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never
clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position. If
the saw is accidentally dropped, the lower guard may be
bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle
and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the
blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
• Check the operation of the lower guard
spring. If the guard and the spring are not operating
properly, they must be serviced before use. Lower guard
may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy
deposits, or a build-up of debris.
• The lower guard may be retracted manually
only for special cuts such as "plunge cuts"
and "compound cuts." Raise the lower guard
by retracting handle and as soon as blade enters the
material, the lower guard must be released. For all other
sawing, the lower guard should operate automatically.
• Always observe that the lower guard is
covering the blade before placing the saw
down on bench or floor. An unprotected, coasting
blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting
whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for
the blade to stop after switch is released.
