7.
Use extra caution when sawing into existing
walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade
may cut objects that can cause kickback.
8.
ALWAYS hold the tool firmly 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, the saw could easily jump backwards over
your hand, leading to serious personal injury.
Never force the saw. Push the saw forward at a
9.
speed so that the blade cuts without slowing.
Forcing the saw can cause uneven cuts, loss of
accuracy, and possible kickback.
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. 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.
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.
Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to
damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of
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
guard should operate automatically.
4.
Always observe that the lower guard is cover-
ing the blade before placing the 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.
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
personal injury.
Additional safety warnings
1.
Intended use
This tool is intended to cut wood products by
lengthways and crossways straight cuts and
miter cuts with angles while in firm contact
with the workpiece.
Accumulated sawdust on the lower guard and hub
from other materials may effect the proper closure
of the lower guard which could lead to serious
personal injury.
Use extra caution when cutting damp wood,
2.
pressure treated lumber, or wood containing
knots. Maintain smooth advancement of tool with-
out decrease in blade speed to avoid overheating
the blade tips.
3.
Do not attempt to remove cut material when
blade is moving. Wait until blade stops before
grasping cut material. Blades coast after turn off.
4.
Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from lumber before cutting.
Place the wider portion of the saw base on
5.
that part of the workpiece which is solidly
supported, not on the section that will fall off
when the cut is made. If the workpiece is short
or small, clamp it down. DO NOT TRY TO HOLD
SHORT PIECES BY HAND!
6.
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.
7.
Never attempt to saw with the circular saw
held upside down in a vise. This is extremely
dangerous and can lead to serious accidents.
8.
Some material contains chemicals which may
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-
tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.
