4. Always observe that the lower guard is cover-

ing the blade before placing the 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.

To check lower guard, open lower guard by hand,

then release and watch guard closure. Also check

to see that retracting handle does not touch

tool housing.LeavingbladeexposedisVERY

DANGEROUSandcanleadtoseriouspersonalinjury.

Additional safety warnings

Use extra caution when cutting damp wood, pres-

sure treated lumber, or wood containing knots.

Maintain smooth advancement of tool without decrease

in blade speed to avoid overheating the blade tips.

2. Do not attempt to remove cut material when

blade is moving. Wait until blade stops before

grasping cut material. Blades coast after turn off.

3. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all

nails from lumber before cutting.

4. Place the wider portion of the saw base on

that part of the workpiece which is solidly

supported, not on the section that will fall off

when the cut is made. If the workpiece is short

or small, clamp it down. DO NOT TRY TO HOLD

SHORT PIECES BY HAND!

5. Before setting the tool down after completing a

cut, be sure that the guard has closed and the

blade has come to a complete stop.

6. Never attempt to saw with the circular saw

held upside down in a vise. This is extremely

dangerous and can lead to serious accidents.

Some material contains chemicals which may be

toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and

skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.

8. Do not stop the blades by lateral pressure on

the saw blade.

9. Do not use any abrasive wheels.

10. Only use the saw blade with the diameter that

ual. Use of an incorrectly sized blade may affect

the proper guarding of the blade or guard opera-

tionwhichcouldresultinseriouspersonalinjury.

pitch hardened on blades slows saw and
