2.SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Explanation of the symbols

Denotes risk of personal injury, loss of life or damage to the tool in case of non-observance of the instructions in this manual.

Indicates electrical shock hazard.

Keep bystanders away

Wear ear and eye protection

Wear a dust mask. Working with wood, metals and other materials may produce dust that is harmful to health. Do not work with material containing asbestos

Danger

a) 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 minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
e) 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.
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 bolt. The blade washers and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.

Causes and operator prevention of kickback

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 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.
b) 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.
c) 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.
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 cut. If blade 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.

Safety instructions lower guard

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 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.

Before using the circular saw

Check the following points:

Does the voltage of the motor correspond with the mains voltage (appliances for a mains voltage of 230 V

Are the mains lead and the mains plug in • a good condition: solid, without any loose ends or damage;

Is the saw blade missing any teeth or showing any cracks, it so must be

replaced immediately.

Make sure the blade is secure.

Use this circular saw to saw only wood, • wood-like products.

Do not use circular saw blades wich are • deformed or damaged.

Do not use HSS blades.

• Only use blades meeting the required dimensions, as well as data and descriptions;
• Never apply any blades of which the thickness is greater than that of the riving knife.
• Do not stop the blade of a circular saw by pressing the blade from the side.
• Check that the blade guard can freely move and fully closes.
  • Never lock-up the guard in the open position.
• Never put sideward pressure on the blade. This may cause the blade to break.
• Be careful when cutting wood with knots, nails or cracks in it and/or dirt on it, as these can cause the blade to get stuck.
  • Never leave the circular saw unattended.
• Use this circular saw to saw only wood or wood-like products.

Using the machine

• Use clamps or a vice to hold the work.
- Never remove wood chips and saw dust that is close to the saw blade with your hands. If there are small pieces of wood left between the fixed and the movable parts, the circular saw will have to be stopped. The plug needs to be removed from the socket, before any left piece can be removed.
- Check that the blade is suitable for the spindle speed of the circular saw. Do not attempt to cut before the circular saw has reached full speed. Make sure the circular saw runs without load (i.e. is not in contact with the work) when you switch it on. The circular saw must have reached its full speed first.
- Never cut wood that is thicker than the depth of the saw blade.
- When cutting in wooden walls or floors, check there is no wiring or piping where you intend to cut.
- Switch off the tool and wait until the blade has stopped completely before moving the saw away from the work or putting it down.

Hearing protection should be worn when using circular saw.

Switch off the machine immediately when you

discover:

A defective mains plug or mains lead;•

A defective switch.

Overheating of the circular saw.
