11. Wear earplugs to protect your ears during
operation.
12. Always hold the handle of the power tool firmly.
Otherwise the counterforce produced may result
in inaccurate and even dangerous operation.
13. Do not use saw blades which are deformed or
cracked.
14. Do not use saw blades made of high speed steel.
15. Do not use saw blades which do not comply with
the characteristics specified in these instructions.
16. Do not stop the saw blades by lateral pressure
on the disc.
17. Always keep the saw blades sharp.
18. Ensure that the safety cover moves smoothly and
freely.
19. Never use the circular saw with its safety cover
fixed in the open position.
20. Ensure that the retraction mechanism of the guard
system operates correctly.
21. The saw blades body must be thinner than the
riving knife and the width of cut, or kerf (with
teeth set) must be greater than the thickness of
the riving knife.
22. Never operate the circular saw with the saw blade
turned upward or the side.
23. Ensure that the material is free of foreign matters
such as nails.
24. The riving knife should always be used except
when plunging in the middle of the workpiece.
25. The saw blades range should be from 165 mm
to 150 mm.
26. Be careful of brake kickback.
This circular saw features an electric brake that
functions when the switch is released. As there
is some kickback when the brake functions, be
sure to hold the main body securely.
27. Avoid cutting in the state where the base has
floated up from the material.
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

When cutting operation requires the resting of the
saw on the work piece, the saw shall be rested
on the larger portion and the smaller piece cut
