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 nar-
row kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
f) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before mak-
ing 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.
Safety Instructions for Circular Saw with Inner Pendulum Guard 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 op-
erating 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 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.
Additional Safety Rules for Your Circular Saw
1) Use only saw blades recommended by the manufacturer, which conform to EN 847-1, if
intended for wood and analogous materials.
2) Do not use any abrasive wheels.
3) Use only blade diameter(s) in accordance with the markings.
4) Identify the correct saw blade to be used for the material to be cut.
5) Use only saw blades that are marked with a speed equal or higher than the speed marked
on the tool.
