WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your electric (corded) power tool or battery­operated (cordless) power tool.
1. Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with grounded power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS
Page 4

operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off­position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
4. Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation.
Page 5
JCB, SO53 3LE www.JCBDIY.com Customer Helpline 0333 0143092
If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5. Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

SAFETY WARNINGS FOR ALL SAWS
a)
DANGER: Keep hands away
from cutting area and the blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle, or motor housing.If both hands are holding
the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.
b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot
protect you from the blade below the workpiece.
c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece.
Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the workpiece.
d) Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform. It is important
to support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
e) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock the operator.
f) When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide.
This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
g) Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbour holes.
Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt.
The blade washers and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.
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.
Page 7
JCB, SO53 3LE www.JCBDIY.com Customer Helpline 0333 0143092
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 firm 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 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.
c) When restarting a saw in the workpiece, 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 locking 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 making a "plunge cut" into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade
may cut objects that can cause kickback.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAWS WITH OUTER PENDULUM GUARD, INNER PENDULUM GUARD, OR TOW GUARD
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
Page 8
JCB, SO53 3LE www.JCBDIY.com Customer Helpline 0333 0143092
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.
Lower guard may be retracted manually only for special cuts such as "plunge cuts" and c) "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 floor. 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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR CIRCULAR SAW
1. Always wear a dust mask, hearing protection and eye protection.
2. Only use saw blades recommended in the specification.
3. Do not use any abrasive wheels.
4. Use only blade diameter(s) in accordance with the markings.

3. CHANGING A SAW BLADE (See A)
Press the spindle lock button (18), and use the spanner (21) provided to remove the blade bolt (22) and outer flange (23). Rotate lower blade guard (13) clockwise and hold open using the lower blade guard lever (14) whilst changing the saw blade (12). Ensure the blade bore is located on the inner flange (24) and the blade direction arrow points in the same direction as the lower blade guard (13) arrow. Check the blade surface and flanges are clean. Depress the spindle lock (18) again and re-fit the outer flange (23) over spindle (25), and tighten bolt 1/4 turn more than finger tight. Check the blade is securely clamped. Warning: blade teeth are very sharp and wear gloves. For best cutting results ensure you use a saw blade suited to the material and cut quality you need.
4. DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENT
Lift the depth of cut Adjustment lever (20) and raise the saw body away from the base plate (15). Set the depth of cut using the scale (19) and push the lever (21) down to lock (See D). Always add 3mm to your depth of cut so the blade can cut through the material.
Page 17
JCB, SO53 3LE www.JCBDIY.com Customer Helpline 0333 0143092
5. BASE PLATE
Adjusting the angle of the base plate (15) enables bevel cutting (See E). The base plate (15) must always be held firmly against the material being cut to reduce saw vibration, blade jumping or blade breakage (See F).
6. BASE PLATE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
Loosen the base plate bevel lock button (6) and rotate the base plate (15) to set the bevel angle using the base plate bevel scale (4) provided. Then clamp the base plate (15) position using the lock (6) (See E). Finally, check the angle and ensure the base plate is firmly clamped. The angle markings on the base plate (15) are accurate for most general purposes but it is recommended for accurate work to set the angle with a protractor and make a test cut on other material. Do not use the depth of cut scale when making bevel cuts due to possible inaccuracy.

WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR CIRCULAR SAW
If your power tool becomes too hot, run no load for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor. Avoid prolonged usage at very low speeds. Always use a blade suited to the material and material thickness to be cut. The quality of cut will improve as the number of blade teeth increases. Always ensure that the work-piece is firmly held or clamped to prevent movement. Support large panels close to the cut line. Any movement of the material may affect the quality of the cut. The blade cuts on the upward stroke and may chip the uppermost surface or edges of your work piece. When cutting, ensure your uppermost surface is a non- visible surface when your work is finished.
POCKET CUTTING (SOFT MATERIALS ONLY)
This operation requires skill and caution and must only be carried by a competent person.
WARNING
: The blade teeth
are exposed during this operation so proceed with extreme caution.
Clearly mark the area to be cut. Set the depth of cut on the saw. Position the saw over the marked area with the front edge of the base plate resting on the work surface and cutting guide aligned with marked line
Page 21
JCB, SO53 3LE www.JCBDIY.com Customer Helpline 0333 0143092
on work piece (See J and K). Ensure the blade is not touching but is close to the work surface. The lower blade guard (14) must be rotated open by using lever. Switch the saw on and gently swing the blade down into the material but maintain a pivoting force on the front edge of the base. Move the saw both forward and downward until the base plate is resting on the workpiece for normal cutting. The lower blade guard can now be released for normal action of the guard.
