DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting

area and the blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both handsareholdingthesaw,theycannotbecutby the blade.

2. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The

guardcannotprotectyoufromthebladebelowthe workpiece.

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 the workpiece in your hands or

across your leg while cutting. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform. It is important to supporttheworkproperlytominimisebodyexpo- sure, blade binding, or loss of control. ►Fig.1

5. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

6. When ripping, always use a rip fence or

straight edge guide.Thisimprovestheaccuracy 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 ofthesawwillruno󰀨-centre,causinglossof control.

8. Never use damaged or incorrect blade wash-

ers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were speciallydesignedforyoursaw,foroptimum performanceandsafetyofoperation. Kickback causes and related warnings — kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, jammedormisalignedsawblade,causingan uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator; — whenthebladeispinchedorjammedtightlybythe kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reactiondrivestheunitrapidlybacktowardthe 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 toclimboutofthekerfandjumpbacktowardthe operator. Kickbackistheresultofsawmisuseand/orincorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided bytakingproperprecautionsasgivenbelow.

1. Maintain a 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 couldcausethesawtojumpbackwards,but kickbackforcescanbecontrolledbytheoperator, 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.

3. When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre

the saw blade in the kerf so that the saw teeth are not engaged into the material. If a saw blade binds,itmaywalkuporkickbackfromthework- piece 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. ►Fig.2 ►Fig.3

5. Do not use dull or damaged blades.

Unsharpenedorimproperlysetbladesproduce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.

6. Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers8 ENGLISH

must be tight and secure before making the cut.Ifbladeadjustmentshiftswhilecutting,itmay cause binding and kickback.

7. Use extra caution when sawing into existing

walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade maycutobjectsthatcancausekickback.

8. ALWAYS hold the tool rmly with both hands.

NEVER place your hand, leg or any part of your body under the tool base or behind the saw, especially when making cross-cuts. If kickback occurs,thesawcouldeasilyjumpbackwardsover yourhand,leadingtoseriouspersonalinjury. ►Fig.4

9. Never force the saw. Push the saw forward at a

speed so that the blade cuts without slowing. Forcing the saw can cause uneven cuts, loss of accuracy,andpossiblekickback. Lower guard function

1. 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.Ifthesawisaccidentally dropped,thelowerguardmaybebent.Raisethe lower guard with the retracting handle and make sureitmovesfreelyanddoesnottouchtheblade oranyotherpart,inallanglesanddepthsofcut.

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. Lowerguardmayoperatesluggishlydueto damagedparts,gummydeposits,orabuild-upof debris.

3. The lower guard may be retracted manually

only for special cuts such as “plunge cuts” and “compound cuts”. Raise the lower guard by the retracting handle and as soon as the blade enters the material, the lower guard must be released. For all other sawing, the lower guardshouldoperateautomatically.

4. Always observe that the lower guard is cover-

ing the blade before placing the saw down on bench or 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.

5. To check lower guard, open lower guard by

hand, then release and watch guard closure. Also check to see that retracting handle does not touch tool housing. Leaving blade exposed is VERY DANGEROUS and can lead to serious personalinjury. Additional safety warnings

1. Use extra caution when cutting damp wood,

pressure treated lumber, or wood containing knots. Maintain smooth advancement of tool with- out decrease in blade speed to avoid overheating the blade tips.

2. Do not attempt to remove cut material when

blade is moving. Wait until blade stops before grasping cut material.Bladescoastafterturno󰀨.

3. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all

nails from lumber before cutting.

4. Place the wider portion of the saw base on

that part of the workpiece which is solidly supported, not on the section that will fall o󰀨 when the cut is made. If the workpiece is short or small, clamp it down. DO NOT TRY TO HOLD SHORT PIECES BY HAND! ►Fig.5

5. Before setting the tool down after completing a

cut, be sure that the guard has closed and the blade has come to a complete stop.

6. Never attempt to saw with the circular saw

held upside down in a vise. This is extremely dangerous and can lead to serious accidents. ►Fig.6

7. Some material contains chemicals which may

be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala- tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.

8. Do not stop the blades by lateral pressure on

9. Do not use any abrasive wheels.

10. Only use the saw blade with the diameter that

is marked on the tool or specied in the man- ual.Useofanincorrectlysizedblademaya󰀨ect the proper guarding of the blade or guard opera- tionwhichcouldresultinseriouspersonalinjury.

11. Keep blade sharp and clean. Gum and wood

pitch hardened on blades slows saw and increasespotentialforkickback.Keepbladeclean byrstremovingitfromtool,thencleaningitwith gum and pitch remover, hot water or kerosene. Never use gasoline.

13. Always use the saw blade intended for cutting

the material that you are going to cut.

14. Only use the saw blades that are marked with

a speed equal or higher than the speed marked on the tool.

15. (For European countries only)

Always use the blade which conforms to EN847-1, if intended for wood and analogous materials.

16. Place the tool and the parts on a at and stable

surface.Otherwisethetoolorthepartsmayfall andcauseaninjury. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
