The circular saw is a device designed for cutting wood and wood-like elements. The product is intended for home use only. The user is liable for any damage resulting from unintended use of the device. 3.1. Device description The description applies to both models.EN

7. Lower guard retracting lever

3.2. Preparing for use

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

1. 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.

2. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the

3. 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.

4. Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a stable

platform. It is important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure, lade binding, or loss of control.

5. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool

may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock the operator.

6. When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and

reduces the chance of blade binding.

7. 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.

8. Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt ere specially

designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation. Further safety instructions for all saws causes and operator prevention of kickback:

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

1. Maintain a firm 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.

2. 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.EN

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf

causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.

6. 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.

7. 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. Safety instructions for saws with a pendulum blade guard

1. 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.

2. Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the guard and the spring are not operating properly,

they must be serviced before use.

3. Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.

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.

4. 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 all saws with riving knife

1. Use the appropriate riving knife for the blade being used. For the riving knife to work, it must be

thicker than the body of the blade but thinner than the tooth set of the blade.

2. Adjust the riving knife as described in this instruction manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning and

alignment can make the riving knife ineffective in preventing kickback.

3. Always use the riving knife except when plunge cutting. Riving knife must be replaced after plunge

cutting. Riving knife causes interference during plunge cutting and can create kickback.

4. For the riving knife to work, it must be engaged in the workpiece. The riving knife is ineffective in

preventing kickback during short cuts.

5. Do not operate the saw if riving knife is bent. Even a light interference can slow the closing rate of a

guard. Additional safety instructions for circular saws

1. Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.

2. Preferably wear a dust mask.

3. Do not use blades of larger or smaller diameter than recommended. For the proper blade rating refer

to the technical data.

4. Do not use distorted or cracked saw blades.

5. Do not use a blade made of high-speed steel.

6. Do not use a blade not in conformity with features as described in this manual.

7. Do not exert lateral force to stop the blade.

8. Do not set the movable guard in the open position.

9. Ensure freely moving guard without binding.

10. Ensure proper movement of retracting mechanism of all the protection system.

11. Prior to blade replacement, adjustment or other maintenance, always unplug the tool.

12. Never use any abrasive wheel unless a tool is specially designed for abrasive wheels.

13. Do not use a blade with thinner blade body than the riving knife and tooth set.EN

14. The riving knife must be adjusted not more than 5 mm from the blade tooth circle, and the tooth

length below the lower edge of the riving knife shall not be bigger than 5 mm.

15. Always use the riving knife except when plunge cutting.

16. Never use abrasive cut-off wheels.
