that saw teeth are not engaged into the
material. If saw blade is binding, it may walk
up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw is
restarted.
d) 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.
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 CIRCULAR SAW WITH
INNER PENDULUM GUARD
a) Check lower guard for proper closing
before each use. Do not operate the saw
8
if lower guard does not move freely and
close instantly. Never clamp or tie the
lower guard into the open position. If saw is
accidentally dropped, 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) Lower guard may be retracted manually
only for special cuts such as "plunge cuts"
and "compound cuts." Raise 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.
d) Always observe that the lower 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. Do not use any abrasive wheels.
4. Use only blade diameter(s) in accordance with
the markings.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR BATTERY PACK
a) Do not dismantle, open or shred cells or
battery pack.
b) Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do not
store battery packs haphazardly in a box or
drawer where they may short-circuit each
other or be short-circuited by conductive
materials. When battery pack is not in use, keep
it away from other metal objects, like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small
metal objects, that can make a connection from
one terminal to another. Shorting the battery
terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
c) Do not expose battery pack to heat or fire.
Avoid storage in direct sunlight.
d) Do not subject battery pack to mechanical
shock.
e) In the event of battery leaking, do not
allow the liquid to come into contact
with the skin or eyes. If contact has been
made, wash the affected area with copious
amounts of water and seek medical advice.
f) Seek medical advice immediately if a cell or
battery pack has been swallowed.
g) Keep battery pack clean and dry.
h) Wipe the battery pack terminals with a
clean dry cloth if they become dirty.
i) Battery pack needs to be charged before
use. Always refer to this instruction and
use the correct charging procedure.
j) Do not maintain battery pack on charge
when not in use.
k) After extended periods of storage, it may
be necessary to charge and discharge
the battery pack several times to obtain
maximum performance.
l) Battery pack gives its best performance
when it is operated at normal room
temperature (20°C ± 5°C).
m) When disposing of battery packs, keep
battery packs of different electrochemical
systems separate from each other.
n) Recharge only with the charger specified
by WORX. Do not use any charger other
than that specifically provided for use with
the equipment. A charger that is suitable for
