adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding
and kickback.
g. Use extra caution when making a "plunge cut" into
existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding
blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
Lower guard safety instructions
a. Check the 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.
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. The lower guard should 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 INSTRUCTIONS FOR
CIRCULAR SAWS
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
•
hearing loss.
Wear a dust mask. Exposure to dust particles can
•
cause breathing difficulty and possible injury.
Do not use blades of larger or smaller diameter than
•
recommended. For the proper blade rating refer to the
technical data. Use only the blades specified in this
manual, complying with EN 847-1.
Never use abrasive cut-off and diamond wheels. Do
•
not cut concrete, brick, steel or other hand materials.
Do not use water feed attachments.
•
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
•
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
Do not use this saw as a table saw.

RESIDUAL RISKS
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual
risks cannot be avoided. These are:
– Impairment of hearing
– Risk of personal injury due flying particles.
– Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot
during operation.
– Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.
– Risk of dust from hazardous substances.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Your tool is double insulated; therefore no earth
wire is required. Always check that the main
voltage corresponds to the voltage on the rating
plate.
WARNING! If the power cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer, authorized
STANLEY Service Center or an equally qualified
person in order to avoid damage or injury. If the
power cord is replaced by an equally qualified
person, but not authorized by STANLEY, the
warranty will not be valid.
USING AN EXTENSION CABLE
If an extension cable is required, use an approved 3–core
extension cable suitable for the power input of this tool (see
Technical Data).The minimum conductor size is 1.5 mm2;
the maximum length is 30 m. When using a cable reel,
always unwind the cable completely.
