ADDITIONAL CIRCULAR SAW SAFETY

a. Do not allow anyone under the age of 18

years to operate this saw.

b. When operating the saw, use safety equip-

ment including safety goggles or shield,

ear protection, dust mask and protective

clothing including safety gloves.

c. Hand-held power tools may produce

vibration. Vibration can cause disease.

Gloves may help to maintain blood circula-

tion in the ngers. Hand-held tools should

not be used for long periods without a

break.

d. Whenever possible, use a vacuum dust

extraction system to control dust/waste.

e. Do not attempt to cut material thicker than

detailed in the Specications section of

this manual.

f. Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness

of the workpiece i.e. less than a full tooth

of the blade should be visible below the

workpiece.

g. Ensure work is correctly supported. Large

panels may sag under their own weight

and bind the saw blade. Supports must be

placed under the panel on both sides,

close to the line of cut and near the edge

of the panel.

h. Ensure all supports and power cables are

completely clear of the cutting path.

i. Always secure the workpiece to a stable

platform, ensuring body exposure is mini-

mised, avoiding blade binding, or loss of

control.

j. Always stand at an angle to the tool when

operating.

k. Be aware that the blade will project from

the underside of the workpiece.

l. Do not reach beneath the workpiece

where the guard cannot protect you from

the blade.

m. Note the direction of rotation of the motor

and the blade.

n. Inspect the workpiece and remove all nails

and other embedded objects prior to

starting work.

o. Do not apply any sideways or twisting

force to the blade whilst cutting.

p. If a cut does not extend to the edge of the

workpiece, or if the blade binds in the cut,

allow the blade to come to a complete

stop and lift the saw out of the workpiece.

q. Do not attempt to free a jammed blade

before rst disconnecting the machine

from power.

r. Do not move the saw backwards at any

time whilst cutting.

s. Beware of projected waste. In some situa-

tions, waste material may be projected at

speed from the cutting tool. It is the user’s

responsibility to ensure other people in the

work area are protected from the possibil-

ity of projected waste.

t. If you are interrupted when operating the

saw, complete the process and switch off

before diverting your attention.

u. Check the lower guard for proper closure

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.

v. Always observe that the lower guard is

covering the blade before resting the saw

on a surface after use. An unprotected,

coasting blade will cause the saw to move

backwards, cutting whatever is in its path.

Be aware of the time it takes for the blade

to stop after the trigger switch is released.

w. Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and

other xings have not become loose, and

tighten where necessary.

The tool must be used only for its pre-

scribed purpose. Any uses other than those

mentioned in this manual will be considered a

case of misuse. The user, and not the manu-

facturer, shall be liable for any damage or injury

resulting from such cases of misuse.

The manufacturer shall not be liable for any

modications made to the tool nor for any

damage resulting from such modications.

Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is

not possible to eliminate all residual risk

factors.

FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR

ALL SAWS

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 operating procedures or

conditions and can be avoided by taking

proper precautions as given below.

a. Maintain a rm 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.

b. When blade is binding, or when inter-

rupting 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. Investi-

gate and take corrective actions to elimi-

nate the cause of blade binding.

c. When restarting a saw in the work-

piece, centre the saw blade in the kerf

and check that saw teeth are not

engaged into the material. If saw blade

is binding, it may walk up or kickback from

the workpiece as the saw is restarted.

d. 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.

e. Do not use dull or damaged blades.

Unsharpened or improperly set blades

produce narrow kerf causing excessive

friction, blade binding and kickback.

f. Blade depth and bevel adjusting lock-

ing levers must be tight and secure

before making cut. If blade adjustment

shifts while cutting, it may cause binding

and kickback.

g. 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

a. Check lower guard for proper closing

before each use. Do not operate the

saw if lower guard does not move freely

and close instantly. Never clamp or tie

the lower guard into the open position.

If saw is accidentally dropped, 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.

b. 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.

c. Lower guard may be retracted manu-

ally only for special cuts such as

"plunge cuts" and "compound cuts".

Raise lower guard by retracting handle

and as soon as blade enters the material,

the lower guard must be released. For all

other sawing, the lower guard should

operate automatically.

d. Always observe that the lower guard is

covering the blade before placing saw

down on bench or oor. 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.
