e) Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce
narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade
binding and kickback.
f) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking
levers must be tight and secure before
making 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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR PLUNGE TYPE SAW
a) Check guard for proper closing before
each use. Do not operate the saw if guard
does not move freely and enclose the
blade instantly. Never clamp or tie the
guard so that the blade is exposed. If saw is
accidentally dropped, guard may be bent. Check
to make sure that guard moves freely and does
not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles
and depths of cut.
b) Check the operation and condition of the
guard return spring. If the guard and the
spring are not operating properly, they
must be serviced before use. Guard may
operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy
10
deposits, or a build-up of debris.
c) Assure that the base plate of the saw will not
shift while performing the "plunge cut" when
the blade bevel setting is not at 90°. Blade
shifting sideways will cause binding and likely kick
back.
d) Always observe that the guard is covering
the blade before placing 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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY
RULES FOR YOUR
CIRCULAR SAW
1) Always wear a dust mask, hearing protection and
eye protection.
2) Only use saw blades recommended in the
specification.
3) Use only blade diameter(s) in accordance with the
markings.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY
WARNING FOR TILE
CUTTING
a) The guard provided with the tool must be
securely attached to the power tool and
positioned for maximum safety, so the least
amount of wheel is exposed towards the
operator. Position yourself and bystanders
away from the plane of the rotating wheel.
The guard helps to protect operator from broken
wheel fragments and accidental contact with
wheel.
b) Use only diamond cut-off wheels for your
power tool. Just because an accessory can be
attached to your power tool, it does not assure
safe operation.
C) The rated speed of the accessory must be at
least equal to the maximum speed marked
on the power tool. Accessories running faster
than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
d) Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications. For example: do not grind with
the side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off
wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side
forces applied to these wheels may cause them to
shatter.
e) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that
are of correct diameter for your selected
wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the wheel
thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.
f) Do not use worn down reinforced wheels
from larger power tools. Wheels intended for
a larger power tool are not suitable for the higher
speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
g) The outside diameter and the thickness of
your accessory must be within the capacity
rating of your power tool. lncorrectly sized
accessories cannot be adequately guarded or
controlled.
h) The arbour size of wheels and flanges must
properly fit the spindle of the power tool.
Wheels and flanges with arbour holes that do not
match the mounting hardware of the power tool
will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and
may cause loss of control.
i) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
j) Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face
shield, safety goggles or safety glasses.
As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and shop apron capable
of stopping small abrasive or workpiece
fragments. The eye protection must be capable
of stopping flying debris generated by various
