Lower Guard Function; Additional Safety Instructions For Circular Saws - Evolution F165 CCSL Notice Originale

eliminate the cause of blade binding.
c) When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre
the saw blade in the kerf so that the 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.
d) Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce
narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade
binding and kickback.
e) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking
levers must be tight and secure before making
a cut. If the blade adjustment shifts while cutting it
may cause binding and kickback.
f) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking
levers must be tight and secure before
making the cut. If blade adjustment shifts while
cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.
g) Use extra caution when sawing into
existing walls or other blind areas. The
protruding blade may cut objects that can
cause kickback.

LOWER GUARD FUNCTION

a) 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.
b) 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.
c) The lower guard may be retracted manually
only for special cuts such as "plunge cuts" and
"compound cuts". Raise the lower guard by
the retracting handle and as soon as the blade
enters the material, the lower guard must be
released. For all other sawing, the lower guard
should operate automatically.
d) 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.

guard protection system. Do not lock
the moving guard in the open position.
Ensure that the guard operates freely
without jamming.
d) Only use blades that comply with the
characteristics specified in this manual. Before
using accessories, always compare
the maximum allowed RPM of the
accessory with the RPM of the machine.
e) Do not use any abrasive wheels.
f) Use only blade diameter(s) in accordance
with the markings.
WARNING: If any parts are missing, do not
