Power tool use and care
 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.
 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.
 Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preven-
tive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
 Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren 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.
 Maintain power tools. 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.
 Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
 Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing 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.
Service
 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.

Safety Warnings for Circular Saws

Cutting procedures

 DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area
and the blade. Keep your second hand on aux-
iliary handle, or motor housing. If both hands are
holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.
 Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The
guard cannot protect you from the blade below the work-
piece.
 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.
 Never hold piece being cut in your hands or
across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a sta-
ble platform. It is important to support the work prop-
erly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of
control.
 Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden wir-
ing 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.
 When ripping, always use a rip fence or
straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy of
cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
 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.
 Never use damaged or incorrect blade wash-
ers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were specially
designed for your saw, for optimum performance and
safety of operation.
 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 oper-
ating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below.
 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 precau-
tions are taken.
