SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CIRCULAR

SAWS Cutting procedures a. DANGER: 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. b. Do not reach underneath the work- piece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece. c. Adjust the cutting depth to the thick- ness of the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the workpiece. d. Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform. It is impor- tant to support the work properly to mini- mise body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control. e. Hold the power tool by insulated grip- ping surfaces only, 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 could give the operator an elec- tric shock. f. When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding. g. 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. h. Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolts. The blade washers and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.English

a. Do not allow anyone under the age of 18 years to operate this saw. b. When operating the saw, use safety equip- ment including safety goggles or shield, ear protection, dust mask and protective clothing including safety gloves. c. Hand-held power tools may produce vibration. Vibration can cause disease. Gloves may help to maintain blood circula- tion in the ngers. Hand-held tools should not be used for long periods without a break. d. Whenever possible, use a vacuum dust extraction system to control dust/waste. e. Do not attempt to cut material thicker than detailed in the Specications section of this manual. f. Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece i.e. less than a full tooth of the blade should be visible below the workpiece. g. Ensure work is correctly supported. Large panels may sag under their own weight and bind the saw blade. Supports must be placed under the panel on both sides, close to the line of cut and near the edge of the panel. h. Ensure all supports and power cables are completely clear of the cutting path.

i. Always secure the workpiece to a stable

platform, ensuring body exposure is mini- mised, avoiding blade binding, or loss of control. j. Always stand at an angle to the tool when operating. k. Be aware that the blade will project from the underside of the workpiece. l. Do not reach beneath the workpiece where the guard cannot protect you from the blade. m. Note the direction of rotation of the motor and the blade. n. Inspect the workpiece and remove all nails and other embedded objects prior to starting work. o. Do not apply any sideways or twisting force to the blade whilst cutting. p. If a cut does not extend to the edge of the workpiece, or if the blade binds in the cut, allow the blade to come to a complete stop and lift the saw out of the workpiece. q. Do not attempt to free a jammed blade before rst disconnecting the machine from power. r. Do not move the saw backwards at any time whilst cutting. s. Beware of projected waste. In some situa- tions, waste material may be projected at speed from the cutting tool. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure other people in the work area are protected from the possibil- ity of projected waste. t. If you are interrupted when operating the saw, complete the process and switch off before diverting your attention. u. Check the lower guard for proper closure 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.

v. Always observe that the lower guard is

covering the blade before resting the saw on a surface after use. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to move backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after the trigger switch is released. w. Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other xings have not become loose, and tighten where necessary. The tool must be used only for its pre- scribed purpose. Any uses other than those mentioned in this manual will be considered a case of misuse. The user, and not the manu- facturer, shall be liable for any damage or injury resulting from such cases of misuse. The manufacturer shall not be liable for any modications made to the tool nor for any damage resulting from such modications. Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk factors.

FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR

ALL SAWS Kickback causes and related warnings – 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. – 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. – 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. a. 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 could cause the saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled by the operator if proper precautions are taken. b. When blade is binding, or when inter- rupting 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. Investi- gate and take corrective actions to elimi- nate the cause of blade binding. c. When restarting a saw in the work- piece, 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. d. 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. e. Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback. f. Blade depth and bevel adjusting lock- ing levers must be tight and secure before making 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. Lower guard function a. 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. 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. Lower guard may be retracted manu- ally 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 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.English

• Avoid damage that can be caused by screws, nails and other elements in your workpiece; remove them before you start working.

• Use suitable detectors to nd hidden utility lines or call the local utility company for assistance (contact with electric lines can lead to re or electrical shock; damaging a gas line can result in an explosion; pene- trating a water pipe will cause property damage or an electrical shock)

• Secure the workpiece (a workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more securely than by hand)

Remove the machine and the accessories from the packaging. Check the machine for trans- port damage and do not use the machine in case of damages. Keep the packing materials away from children, risk of suffocation! INTENDED USE Hand-held battery-powered electric circular saw for cross, rip and bevel cutting of hard and softwood timber and sheet material. OPERATION

• Before using the saw, practise on scrap material. The settings of the machine are crucial to achieving a good quality nish, and your work could easily be damaged by using an incorrect setting. Handling your circular saw

• Always hold the saw securely, with both hands, by the handles provided.

• Always allow the blade to come to a com- plete stop before placing the machine down.

• Always make sure that work will not move whilst being cut. Use clamps where appropriate. Making a cut

• Hold the saw securely and rest the front edge of the Base Plate (14) on the edge of the workpiece.

• Check the blade is not in contact with the workpiece or any other object.

• Start the machine by pressing in the Lock Off Button (2) and squeezing the On/Off Trigger (3). Note: The saw is tted with two Lock Off But- tons - one on each side of the saw - to allow left or right-handed operation.

• Allow the motor to reach full speed and push the saw forwards smoothly across the workpiece.

• Maintain a steady movement and ensure the Base Plate is kept pressed against the workpiece. Note: The front edge of the Base Plate fea- tures an indentation. For normal 0° cutting, align the left side, 0° Line (19) with the line to be cut, for 45˚ bevel cutting align the right side, 45° Line (20) with the line to be cut.

• Allow the blade to pass through the mate- rial and release the On/Off Trigger. Alter- natively, if the cut does not reach the edge of the workpiece, release the On/Off Trig- ger and allow the blade to stop moving before lifting out of the cut.

• Do not place the machine down until the blade has stopped completely.

WARNING: Wear cut-proof gloves when han-

• Always check the blade being tted is suitable for the material being cut.

• Only t blades that are in perfect condi- tion. Blunt, bent, and cracked blades should be discarded.

• Press in the Spindle Lock Button (26) and carefully rotate the blade by pushing on the side face of the saw blade until the spindle lock engages. Unscrew the Blade Securing Bolt (16) anti-clockwise using the supplied hex key.

• Remove the Blade Securing Bolt, washer (if tted) and Blade Flange (17).

• Use the Lower Guard Lever (25) to rotate the Lower Guard out of the way.English
