CORDLESS CIRCULAR SAW SAFETY

WARNINGS

Cutting procedures

1. DANGER: 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.

2. Do not reach underneath the workpiece.

The guard cannot protect you from the blade below

the workpiece.

3. 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.

4. Never hold the workpiece in your hands or

across your leg while cutting. Secure the

workpiece to a stable platform.

It is important to support the work properly to

minimise body exposure, blade binding, or loss of

control.

5. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces, when performing an operation where

the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.

Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed

metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the

operator an electric shock.

6. When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight

edge guide.

This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the

chance of blade binding.

7. 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 off-centre, causing loss of control.

8. Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers

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, jammed

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 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 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.

5

Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect

operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by

taking proper precautions as given below.

1. 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 precautions are taken.

2. 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 kickback may occur.

Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate

the cause of blade binding.

3. When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre

the saw blade in the kerf so that the saw teeth

are not engaged into the material.

If a saw blade binds, it may walk up or kickback from

the workpiece as the saw is restarted.

4. Support large panels to minimise the risk of

blade pinching and kickback.

Large panels tend to sag under their own weight.

Supports must be placed under the panel on both

sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the

panel.

5. Do not use dull or damaged blades.

Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce

narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding

and kickback.

6. Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers

must be tight and secure before making the cut.

If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause

binding and kickback.

7. Use extra caution when sawing into existing

walls or other blind areas.

The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause

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 covering

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.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND SYMBOLS

1. Adjustments. Before cutting be sure depth and

bevel adjustments are tight.

2. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all

nails from work piece before cutting.

3. When operating the saw, keep the cord away

from the cutting area and position it so that it will

not be caught on the workpiece during the

cutting operation.

Operate with proper hand support, proper workpiece

support, and supply cord routing away from the work

area.
