workpiece and moving towards the
operator.
• If the saw blade having snagged or
jammed in a self-closing saw cut, is
locked and the motors power jolts the
device back towards the operator.
• If the saw blade is rotated or misaligned
in the saw cut, the teeth on the rear edge
of the blade can become hooked in the
surface of the workpiece, whereby the
saw blade jumps out of the cut and the
saw springs back in the direction of the
operator.
A kickback is the result of improper or incor-
rect use of the saw. It can be avoided by
taking suitable precautions, as described
below:
a. Hold the saw firmly with both hands
and place your arms in such a
position that you can absorb the
force of a kickback. Always keep
yourself to one side of the saw blade
and never bring the blade in line with
your body. In the event of a kickback,
the circular saw may spring backwards;
however, the operator can control the
kickback force if suitable measures have
been taken.
b. If the saw blade becomes jammed or
if you interrupt the work, switch the
saw off and keep it held gently in the
material until the saw blade has come
to rest. Never attempt to extract the
saw from the workpiece or to pull it
backwards while the saw blade is
moving; otherwise a kickback may
occur. Find and remove the cause for
the saw-blade's jamming.
c. If you wish to restart a saw that is
already in the workpiece, centre the
saw blade in the cut and check that
the teeth are not snagged in the
workpiece. If the saw blade jams, it
may run out of the workpiece or cause a
kickback when the saw is restarted.
d. Provide support for large sheets to
reduce the risk of a kickback through
jamming of the saw blade. Large
sheets can bend under their own

weight. The sheets must be supported
on both sides, at the edges and close to
the saw cut.
e. Do not use blunt or damaged saw
blades. If saw blades with blunt or
misaligned teeth are used, the saw cut
is too narrow resulting in increased
friction, jamming of the blade and
kickback.
f. Before sawing, firmly tighten the
adjustments of the cutting depth and
cutting angle. If the settings adjust
themselves during sawing, the saw
blade may become clamped and a
kickback will occur.
g. Be especially careful, if you are
making a plunge cut in an existing
wall or other nonvisible area. The
immersed saw blade can jam when
sawing into hidden objects and cause a
kickback.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THIS
MINI CIRCULAR SAW
a. Check before each use that the
safety guard closes correctly. Do not
use the saw if the lower safety guard
does not move freely and does not
close immediately. Never clamp or
secure the lower safety guard in the
open position. If the saw should
accidentally fall to the ground, the
lower safety guard may become bent.
Open the safety guard with the
retraction lever and ensure that it moves
freely. Check that it does not interfere
with the saw blade or other
components, at any cutting angle or
cutting depth.
b. Check the condition and operation of
the spring for the lower safety guard.
Do not use the equipment if the lower
safety guard and spring do not work
perfectly. Damaged parts, adhesive
deposits or accumulations of shavings
retard the operation of the lower safety
guard.
c. When making a plunge cut which is
not at right angles, make sure that
the saw's guide plate can not move
