21.The saw blades body must be thinner than the riving knife and the width of cut, or kerf (with teeth set) must be greater than the thickness of the riving knife.

22.Never operate the circular saw with the saw blade turned upward or the side.

23.Ensure that the material is free of foreign matters such as nails.

24.The riving knife should always be used except when plunging in the middle of the workpiece.

25.The saw blades range should be from 165 mm to 150 mm.

26.Be careful of brake kickback.

This circular saw features an electric brake that functions when the switch is released. As there is some kickback when the brake functions, be sure to hold the main body securely.

27.Avoid cutting in the state where the base has floated up from the material.

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.

28.Support large panels to minimize 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 as shown in Fig. 1.

To minimize the risk of blade pinching and kickback.

When cutting operation requires the resting of the saw on the work piece, the saw shall be rested on the larger portion and the smaller piece cut off.

29.Use extra caution when making a “Pocket Cut” into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause

KICKBACK.

NEVER place your hand or fingers behind the saw (Fig. 3). If kickback occurs, the saw could easily jump backwards over your hand, possibly causing severe injury.

30.WARNING: It is important to support the work piece properly and to hold the saw firmly to prevent loss of control which could cause personal injury. Fig. 4 illustrates typical hand support of the saw.

31.Place the wider portion of the saw base on that part of the work piece which is solidly supported, not on the section that will fall off when the cut is made. As examples, Fig. 5 illustrates the RIGHT way to cut off the end of board, and Fig. 6 the WRONG way. If the work piece is short or small, clamp is down.

DON’T TRY TO HOLD SHORT PLACES BY HAND!

32.Never attempt to saw with the circular saw held upside down in a vise. This is extremely dangerous and can lead to serious accidents. (Fig. 7)

33.When the brake becomes ineffective, replace the carbon brushes with new ones.
