General safety advice

Attention! To avoid the risk of injury:

a)Keep your hands away from the area around the saw and clear of the saw blade. Hold the auxiliary handle or the motor housing with your free hand. If you have both hands on the saw they cannot be injured by the saw blade.

b)Do not grip the underside of the workpiece. The blade guard cannot protect you from the saw blade under the workpiece.

c)Set the cutting depth to match the thickness of the workpiece. Less than a full tooth height should be visible below the workpiece.

d)Never hold the workpiece in your hand or steady it with your leg whilst sawing. Keep the workpiece steady on a stable supporting surface. It is important to see that the workpiece is firmly held in place to minimise any danger of it making contact with your body, jamming of the saw blade or loss of control.

e)Hold the device by the insulated handle surfaces when you are undertaking work where there is the danger of the cutting tool striking hidden electricity cables or the device‘s mains lead. Contact with a live wire means that the metal parts of the device may also become live and this can result in an electric shock.

f)When cutting longitudinally always use a guide fence or a straight edge guide. This will improve the accuracy of your cut and reduce the risk of the blade jamming.

g)Always use a saw blade of the correct size and with the appropriate central fixing hole bore. Saw blades that do not correspond with the attachment components on the saw will not run true and could lead to loss of control.

h)Never use a damaged or incorrect saw blade washer or screw. The saw blade washer and screw have been specially designed to give your saw optimum performance and safety in use.

What causes kickback and how to avoid it:

a)A kickback is a sudden reaction to a saw blade becoming hooked, jammed or misaligned. This causes an out of control circular saw to raise itself and move out of the workpiece and towards the operator.

b)If the sawblade becomes hooked or trapped in a narrowing saw gap, it is suddenly prevented from rotating and the force of the motor throws the device back in the direction of the operator.

c)If the sawblade distorts or becomes misaligned in the saw cut, the teeth at the rear edge of the sawblade may hook themselves into the workpiece surface causing the sawblade to move out of the saw gap and the circular saw to jump backwards in the direction of the operator.

Special safety advice for circular saws and automatic blade guards

a)Before you use the saw, always check that the automatic blade guard 6 closes properly. Do not use the saw if the bottom compartment of the blade guard does not move freely or close immediately. Never jam or tie the automatic blade guard in the open position. The bottom part of automatic blade guard may become bent if the saw falls on to the floor. Open the blade guard with the release lever and make sure that it moves freely and does not touch the saw blade or other parts at all cutting angles and depths.

b)Check that the spring on the automatic blade guard functions properly. If the automatic blade guard or spring does not function properly, have the device serviced before you use it. Damaged parts, sticky deposits or accumulations of splinters can delay the operation of the bottom blade guard.

c)Open the automatic blade guard by hand only for certain cuts such as plunge or angle cuts. Open the automatic blade guard with the release lever and let it go again as soon as the saw blade penetrates
