DETAILED SAFETY REGULATIONS
DETAILED SAFETY REGULATIONS FOR SAFE OPERATION WITH
CIRCULAR SAW WITHOUT SPLITTING WEDGE
Caution:
Remove the battery powering the device before any adjustments,
maintenance (replacement of cutting blade) or repair.
• Keep your hands away from cutting area and cutting blade.
Keep the second hand on the secondary handle or the
motor casing. When holding the saw with both hands the risk
of injury with cutting blade is reduced.
• Do not reach under the processed material. Guard does not
protect from rotating cutting blade below processed material.
• Adjust cutting depth to thickness of processed material.
It is recommended that the cutting blade reaches below the
processed material no more than tooth-length.
• Never hold processed material in hands, never keep it on
legs. Fix processed material to sound base. Good fixing of
processed material is important to avoid danger of contact with
body, rotating cutting blade being caught or loss of control over
the operation.
• Hold the insulated surfaces of the saw that are designed
for such purpose whenever the rotating cutting blade can
encounter live wires. Contact of device metal parts with live
wire may cause operator's electric shock.
• When ripping always use guide for ripping or edge guide.
It improves cutting accuracy and reduces risk of pinching the
rotating cutting blade in material.
• Use only cutting blades with correct arbour hole diameter.
Cutting blades that do not match seating may operate with
eccentric offset, which causes loss of control over operation.
• Never use damaged or incorrect washers or bolts to install
cutting blade. Washers and fixing bolts for cutting blade
installation were designed especially for circular saw to provide
optimal operation and safety of use.
KICK BACK, CAUSES AND WAYS TO REDUCE IT
• Kick back is a sudden lift and moving the saw back in the cutting
line towards operator. This is caused by uncontrolled cutting with
cutting blade being caught, pinched or incorrectly guided.
• When the cutting blade is caught or pinched in material, the blade
stops and motor reaction produces sudden movement of the saw
to the back, towards operator.
• If the saw is unaligned or positioned incorrectly in the object
being cut, blade teeth may hit the upper surface of the material
when leaving the material. It will cause sudden raise of the saw,
and kick back towards operator.
CAUTION! Kick back is an effect of improper use of circular saw, or
wrong operating procedures or conditions, and can be avoided by
observing applicable, below-mentioned precautions:
• Hold the circular saw firmly with both hands in position that
allows to resist kick-back. Stand to the side of the circular saw
but not in the line of cutting. Kick back may cause sudden move
of circular saw to the back, but its force can be controlled by operator
when appropriate precaution measures are taken.
• When the cutting blade jams or stops cutting due to any
reason, release the switch button and hold the saw still in the
material until the blade or disc stops completely.
• Never attempt to remove the cutting blade from material
being cut nor pull the saw back when the blade is rotating. It
may cause kick back. Investigate and implement correction actions
to eliminate causes of cutting blade seizing.
• When restarting the saw in the processed material, centre
the cutting blade in the kerf and ensure the blade teeth are
not blocked in the material. When the cutting blade jams during
restart, it may slide off or cause kick back against the processed
material.
• Support large boards to minimize risk of pinching and kick
back of the circular saw. Large boards tend to bend under own
weight. Place supports under board on both sides, close to the cutting
line and close to the board edge.
• Do not use blunt or damaged cutting blades. Blunt or incorrectly
positioned blade teeth create narrow kerf, excessive friction, jamming
of cutting blade and kick back.
• Firmly set clamps for cutting depth and bevel angle before
making a cut. Change of saw settings during cutting may cause
jamming and kick back.
• Be very careful during plunge cutting in division walls. Cutting
blade may encounter objects not visible from the outside and cause
kick back.
FEATURES OF LOWER PROTECTIVE GUARD
• Make sure the lower guard is appropriately positioned before
each use. Do not use the saw when the lower guard does not
move freely and does not close immediately. Do not fix and
do not leave the lower guard open. When the saw is accidentally
dropped the lower guard may get deformed. Lift the lower guard
with pull-handle and ensure it is free to move and does not touch the
blade nor any other part of the tool for any setting of cutting depth
and angle.
• Check functioning of the lower guard spring. Repair the guard
and its spring before use when they do not work properly.
Lower guard may be malfunctioning and slowed down due to
damaged parts, sticky sediments or building up of layers of wastes.
• Manual pulling off the lower guard is allowed only when
special cutting is performed, such as "plunge cutting" and
"compound cutting". Lift the lower guard with its pull handle.
As soon as the cutting blade sinks in the material the guard
must be released. For all other cuts it is recommended that the
lower guard works automatically.
• Always make sure the lower guard covers cutting blade before
putting the circular saw away on the workbench or floor.
Uncovered, rotating blade will move the circular saw back and will
cut everything in its way. Consider time required for stopping the
blade after the saw is switched off.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Do not use damaged or deformed cutting blades.
• Do not use grinding wheels.
• Use only cutting blades that are recommended by the
manufacturer and comply with the standard EN 847-1.
• Do not use cutting blades without sintered carbide tips on teeth.
• Dust of certain wood types may be dangerous to health. Direct
physical contact with dusts may cause allergic reaction and/or
respiratory system diseases of operator or bystanders. Dusts of oak
and beech are considered carcinogenic, especially in connection
with wood processing substances (wood impregnants).
• Use personal protection measures, such as:
- earmuff protectors to reduce risk of hearing damage,
- eye shield,
- respiratory system protection to reduce risk of harmful dusts
inhalation,
