Support the work properly.
Never reach over the blade to remove waste
or off-cuts.
Do not attempt to free a jammed blade
before first switching off the tool.
Do not slow or stop a blade with a piece of
wood. Let the blade come to rest naturally.
If you are interrupted when operating the
saw, complete the process and switch off the
tool before looking up.
Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and
other fixings are properly tightened.
Always hold the saw on parts that are
insulated. If you accidentally cut into hidden
wiring or the saw's own cable, the metal
parts of the saw will become “live”.
Never use the saw near flammable liquids or
gases.
Note the direction of rotation of the motor and
the blade.
Do not lock the movable guard in the open
position and always ensure that it is working
properly, freely rotating and returning to fully
cover the teeth of the blade.
This circular saw is installed with a riving
knife. The function of a riving knife is to
prevent the work piece from closing onto the
blades. It must be securely fitted clear of the
blade.
Always use the riving knife provided except
when plunging in the middle of work piece or
glove cut is required.
