Additional Safety Instructions for Circular Saws
The blade washers and the bolt on your saw have
been designed to work as a clutch to reduce the
intensity of a kickback. Understand the operation
and settings of the VARI-TORQUE CLUTCH. The proper
setting of the clutch, combined with firm handling of the
saw will allow you to control kickback.
Never place your hand behind the saw blade.
Kickback could cause the saw to jump backwards over
your hand.
GFCI and personal protection devices like electrician's
rubber gloves and footwear will further enhance your
personal safety.
Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power
supply. While the tool may appear to work, the electrical
components of the AC rated tool are likely to fail and
create a hazard to the operator.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery hands cannot safely control the power tool.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule for
your tool. When cleaning a tool be careful not to
disassemble any portion of the tool since internal
wires may be misplaced or pinched or safety guard
return springs may be improperly mounted. Certain
cleaning agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride,
ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts.
Do not use the saw with an excessive depth of
cut setting. Too much blade exposure increases the
likelihood of the blade twisting in the kerf and increases
the surface area of the blade available for pinching that
leads to kickback.
Do not run the tool while carrying it at your side.
Lower guard may be opened by a contact with your
clothing. Accidental contact with the spinning saw blade
could result in serious personal injury.
Periodically remove the blade, clean the upper, lower
guards and the hub area with kerosene and wipe it
dry. Preventive maintenance and properly operating
guard will reduce the probability of an accident.
Ensure the switch is in the off position before
inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Avoid overheating saw blade tips.
