bind and are easier to control.
Regularly check external nuts and fixings to ensure vibra-
tion caused by normal use has not begun to loosen them.
Store idle power tools out of reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the Breaker.
Locate the power tool out of reach of children, in a dry,
locked unit.
Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to dam-
age or stress.
Remove the plug from the mains socket / battery (where
applicable) before carrying out any adjustment or main-
tenance.
Always store the power tool/machine in a dry place.
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a
qualified service technician.
Keep the ventilation slots and motor housing as free of
dirt and dust as possible (where applicable).
Clean the power tool/machine by rubbing it with a clean
cloth and blow it clean using low-pressure compressed
air is recommended.
Ensure you have all the pieces listed. If you are miss-
ing any components, contact our customer services
department at hello@domu.co.uk (UK/EU) usasupport@
domubrands.com (US). DO NOT proceed with assembly
if any components are missing.
HAND HELD CIRCULAR SAWS
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.
Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard can-
not protect you from the blade below the workpiece.
Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the work-
piece.
Never hold the workpiece in your hands or across your
leg while cutting. Secure the workpiece to a stable plat-
form.
Hold the Power Tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the fastener may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Fasteners contacting a
'live' wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool 'live' and could deliver an electric shock.
When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight edge
guide.
Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond
versus round) of arbour holes.
Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt.
KICKBACK CAUSES AND RELATED WARNINGS
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, jammed or
misaligned saw blade, causing and uncontrolled saw to
lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator;
When the blade is pinched or jammed 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 of the 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 op-
erating 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 po-
sition 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.
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 kick-
back may occur.
A5P | 01
When restarting the saw in the workpiece, centre the saw
blade in the kerf so that the saw teeth are not engaged
into the material.
Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade pinch-
ing and kickback.
Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be
tight and secure before making a cut.
Use extra caution when sawing into the existing walls or
other blind areas.
PENDULUM GUARD AND SAWS WITH TOW GUARD
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.
Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the
guard and the spring are not operating properly, they
must be serviced before use.
The lower guard may be retracted manually only for spe-
cial 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.
Always observe that the lower guard is covering the
blade before placing the saw down on the bench floor.
