WARNING
The vibration and noise emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardized
test given in EN 62841 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of
exposure.
The declared vibration and noise emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for
diff erent applications, with diff erent accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may diff er. This may
signifi cantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should also take into account the times when the tool is
switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may signifi cantly reduce the exposure level over the
total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the eff ects of vibration and/or noise such as: maintain the
tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organization of work patterns.
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifi cations provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
CIRCULAR SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
Cutting procederes
Danger: Keep hands away from cutting area and the
blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle, or
motor housing. If both 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 workpiece being cut in your hands or
across your leg while cutting. Secure the workpiece to
a stable platform. It is important to support the work
properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss
of control.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
only when performing an operation where the cutting

tool 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.
When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge
guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the
chance of blade binding.
Always use blades with correct size and shape
(diamond versus round) of arbour 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 bolt.
The blade washers and bolt were specially designed for
your saw, for optimum performance and safety of
operation.
Kickback causes and related warnings:
- 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 saw misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below.
Maintain a fi rm 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 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 actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the saw
blade in the kerf and check 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.
Support large panels to minimise 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.
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 cut. If blade
adjustment shifts 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 function
Check lower guard for proper closing before each use.
Do not operate the saw 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.
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 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 saw down on bench or fl oor. 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.
