General Power Tool SafetyWarnings
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1)Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the OFF-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch ON invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool ON. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it ON and OFF. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) Battery tool use and care
6) Service
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 131^ may cause explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
b) Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorised service providers.
Circular Saw SafetyWarnings
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 workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece.
c) 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.
d) 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 minimise body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
e) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping 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 electric 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.
i) Even when this tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk factors. If you are in any doubt as to the safe use of this tool, do not use it.
Further safety instructions for all saws
Kickback Causes and RelatedWarnings:
- 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 precautions as follows:
a) Maintain a firm grip 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 the 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.
c) When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf and check that the 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 locking levers must be tight and secure before making a 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 the lower guard before each use and do not use if it does not close freely, ensuring that the blade does not touch any part of the guard or tool in all angles and depths of cut. Never clamp or tie the lower guard in the open position.
b) Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the guard and the spring are not operating correctly, they must be serviced before use. The 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 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 guard should operate automatically.
d) Ensure that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing the saw down. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to 'propel backwards', cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after the switch is released. Do not use abrasive wheels, doing so will void the warranty.
Guard function
a) Check guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if guard does not move freely and enclose the blade instantly. Never clamp or tie the guard so that the blade is exposed. If saw is accidentally dropped, guard may be bent. Check to make sure that guard moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
b) Check the operation and condition of the guard return spring. If the guard and the spring are not operating properly, they must be serviced before use. Guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
c) Assure that the base plate of the saw will not shift while performing the "plunge cut" when the blade bevel setting is not at 90^ . Blade shifting sideways will cause binding and likely kick back.
d) Always observe that the 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 Circular Saw Safety
- Do not allow anyone under the age of 18 years to operate this saw
- When operating the saw, use safety equipment including safety goggles or shield, ear protection, dust mask and protective clothing including safety gloves
- Hand-held power tools may produce vibration. Vibration can cause disease. Gloves may help to maintain good blood circulation in the fingers. Hand-held tools should not be used for long periods without a break
- Whenever possible, use a vacuum dust extraction system to control dust/waste
- Do not attempt to cut material thicker than detailed in the Specifications section of this manual
- 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
- Ensure that 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
- Ensure all supports and power cables are completely clear of the cutting path
- Always secure the workpiece to a stable platform, ensuring body exposure is minimised, avoiding blade binding, or loss of control
Always stand at an angle to the tool when operating - Be aware that the blade will project from the underside of the workpiece
- Do not reach beneath the workpiece where the guard cannot protect you from the blade
Note the direction of rotation of the motor and the blade - Inspect the workpiece and remove all nails and other embedded objects prior to starting work
- Do not attempt to cut material that contains embedded objects unless you know that the cutting tool fitted to your machine is suitable for the job
- Do not apply any sideways or twisting force to the blade whilst cutting
- 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
- Do not attempt to free a jammed blade before first disconnecting the machine from power
- Do not move the saw backwards at any time whilst cutting
- Beware of projected waste. In some situations, waste material may be projected at speed from the cutting tool. It is the user's responsibility to ensure that other people in the work area are protected from the possibility of projected waste
- If you are interrupted when operating the saw, complete the process and switch off before diverting your attention
- Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fixings have not loosened, tighten where necessary
Avoid blade overheating
- Always check the condition of the blade prior to any cutting operations. Ensure the blade is sharp and is the correct type of blade for the material. If the blade is blunt, replace or have professionally sharpened (if applicable)
- During cutting operations, run the tool without load for 15-20 second intervals to ensure the air cools the blade
- Take extra care when cutting hardwood. Harder materials generate more resistance and more heat on the blade and motor, so ensure more frequent air cooling intervals are applied
Fitting cutting tools
- Ensure cutting tools are correctly and securely fitted and check that wrenches / adjusters are removed prior to use
- Only use cutting tools recommended for your machine
- Do not attempt to modify cutting tools
- Ensure blades are sharp, in good condition and correctly fitted
- Do not attempt to sharpen blades that are not suitable for sharpening, these may include specially hardened blades or blades made from hardened alloys typically containing tungsten
- Blades that can be sharpened should be sharpened only according to the blade manufacturer's instructions. These may include a limited number of times the blade can be sharpened
- Sharpened blades should be more thoroughly inspected before use and replaced immediately if there is any doubt about their condition and suitability for use
- In the event blades encounter an embedded object in use that the blades are not suitable for, blades should be replaced immediately
- Cutting tools and workpieces may become hot in use. Do not attempt to change tools until they have been allowed to cool completely
Control of dust and swarf
- Do not allow dust or swarf to build up. Sawdust is a fire hazard, and some metal swarf is explosive
- Be especially careful when cutting wood and metal. Sparks from metal cutting are a common cause of wood dust fires
- Where possible, use a dust extraction system to ensure a safer working environment
WARNING: The dust produced from working with some materials can be toxic. Beech, oak, mahogany and teak natural woods, man-made composite woods and some surface treatments, including paint with lead, are toxic. Lead-based paint is common in buildings built before 1960. Always wear suitable respiratory protection; for example, a respirator face mask. Use a dust extraction system or regularly vacuum the work area to prevent the build-up of dust. In addition, vacuum the work area after the work has been completed. Most dust is a fire hazard. Overhead work surfaces have an increased safety risk for dust.

Note: If the Red LED is not constantly illuminated after an uncharged Battery is inserted into the Charger, the Battery or Charger may be faulty. Recheck the Battery is fully inserted in the Battery Charger. If the fault persists do not use and contact your authorised Silverline distributor.
- When the Battery is fully-charged, only the Green LED (28) will be illuminated
Battery Charge Level
The Battery has a built-in Battery Charge Indicator (11). Pressing on the button to the right will indicate the charge level. The number of bars that illuminate when the button is pressed indicate the charge level; 1 bar indicating a low charge, 3 bars indicating a full charge.
IMPORTANT: When a low charge level is indicated, be aware the tool may stop operating while in use. This may be dangerous. It is recommended to always ensure the Battery has a good charge level.
Notes about battery charging
IMPORTANT: Batteries are an expendable supply whose capacity shortens over time. Always adhere to the correct handling and charging instructions in the manual. If the battery does not hold charge or working time is shortened, purchase a genuine Silverline replacement.
The battery should be charged at ambient temperatures between 10^ and 40^ (ideally around 20^ )
After charging, allow 15 minutes for the battery to cool before use
- Ensure that the charger is disconnected from the mains supply after use, and is stored correctly
- Do not leave batteries on charge for extended periods and never store batteries on charge
- The charger monitors battery temperature and voltage while charging. Remove the battery once charging has been completed to maximise charge cycles of the battery and not waste power
- Batteries can become faulty over time, individual cells in the battery can fail, and the battery could short. The charger will not charge faulty batteries. Use another battery, if possible, to check correct functionality of the charger and purchase a replacement battery if a faulty battery is indicated
- Do not store Lithium-ion battery packs in a discharged state long term. This can damage the Lithium-ion cells. For long-term storage, store batteries in a high charge state disconnected from the power tool
- The capacity of batteries will reduce over time. After 100 charge cycles, the battery's operation time and the performance will slightly reduce. This decline will continue until the battery has minimal capacity after 500 charge cycles. This is normal and not a fault with the battery pack
Fitting a blade
WARNING: ALWAYS ensure that the tool is switched OFF and the battery removed, before fitting or removing saw blades.
WARNING: ALWAYS wear suitable cut-proof gloves when handling saw blades
WARNING: ONLY fit blades that are in perfect condition. Blunt, bent, and cracked blades should be discarded
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS use the correct blade type for the material to be cut (refer to the blade manufacturer's guidelines before use)
- Push and hold the Spindle Lock Button (22) inwards
- Turn the Blade (19) by hand until you feel the spindle lock engage

5. Move the saw forward until the blade starts cutting, then release the Blade Guard
6. Push the saw smoothly forward, across the workpiece (Fig. VII (c))
7. Maintain a steady movement and keep the Base Plate pressed against the workpiece NOTE: The front edge of the Base Plate features a Guide Notch (21). For normal cutting align the notch marked '0" with the intended cutting line; for 45^ bevel cutting align the notch marked 4 5^ with the cutting line.
8. Allow the Blade to pass through the material and release the ON/OFF Switch (12).
WARNING: If the cut does not reach the edge of the workpiece, release the ON/OFF Switch and allow the Blade to stop moving before lifting out of the cut.
WARNING: Remove the Battery (10) and Blade when the tool is to be left unattended.
Making a plunge cut
WARNING: Plunge cutting is an advanced technique with higher risk. Only attempt plunge cuts when you are competent and experienced with this technique. These instructions are given as a guide only.
WARNING: ONLY attempt the plunge cutting procedure in soft materials such as wood, plasterboard and similar materials. DO NOT attempt plunge cuts in metal or hard materials. ONLY use blades specifically designed for plunge cutting. If in doubt, refer to the blade manufacturer's instructions.
WARNING: Inspect both sides of the surface you are planning on plunge cutting into. Ensure there are no foreign objects on the underneath, or objects that could be damaged. Be aware of hidden pipework and cables when plunge cutting into drywalls, ceilings or floorboards. If pipes or cables may be present, switch OFF all electrical circuit breakers and shut off water and gas supplies at the relevant mains valves.
WARNING: Blindly plunge cutting into walls, floors and ceilings may lead to serious injury and substantial property damage.
1. Mark out the cutting line
2. Adjust the Base Plate (13) to the required depth
3. Position the front of the Base Plate on the workpiece so that the Blade (19) is in line with the cutting line (Fig.VIII(a))
4. Ensure the Blade is clear of the workpiece
5. Hold the tool securely, ensuring you always have full control
6. Switch the tool ON and allow the Blade to reach full speed
