WARNING
The vibra tion and noise emiss ion level given in this i nformation she et has been measure d in accordance with a s tandardized tes t given in
EN 62841 and may be us ed to compare one too l with another. It may be us ed for a preliminar y assessment of e xposure.
The decla red vibration and n oise emission level r epresents the m ain applications o f the tool. However if th e tool is used for di erent
applicat ions, with dier ent accessories o r poorly maintai ned, the vibratio n and noise emission m ay dier. This may signic antly increase
the expo sure level over the tot al working perio d.
An estima tion of the level of ex posure to vibrati on and noise should al so take into account th e times when the tool i s switched o or wh en
it is runni ng but not actuall y doing the job. This may si gnicantly redu ce the exposure le vel over the total work ing period.
Identif y additional s afety measure s to protect the op erator from the e ects of vibr ation and/or noise suc h as: maintain the too l and the
accessor ies, keep the hands w arm, organizatio n of work pattern s.
Wear ear prote ctors. Exp osure to noise can c ause hearing loss .

CIRCULAR SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
Cutting procedures
DANGER: Keep ha nds away from cut ting area and
a)
the blad e. Keep your second h and on auxiliar y handle, or
motor housing. If both hands ar e holding the saw, they ca nnot be
cut by the bl ade.
b) Do not reach u nderneath the wo rkpiece. The gua rd cannot
protec t you from the blade b elow the workpie ce.
c) Adjust the cut ting depth to th e thickness of t he workpiece. Less than a full t ooth of the blade tee th should be visible
below the wo rkpiece.
d) Never hold the wor kpiece in your h ands or across
your leg w hile cutting . Secure the wor kpiece to a stab le
platform. It is impor tant to support t he work properly t o minimise
body exp osure, blade bindi ng, or loss of contro l.
e) Hold the power to ol by insulated g ripping sur faces,
when performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a „ live“ wire will als o
make expo sed metal part s of the power tool „l ive“ and could give
the opera tor an electric s hock.
f) When ripp ing, always use a r ip fence or strai ght edge
guide. Th is improves the accur acy of cut and red uces the chance
of blade binding.

g) Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond
versus round) of arbour holes. Blades t hat do not match the
mounting h ardware of the saw wi ll run o-centre, c ausing loss of
control.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt.
The blade wa shers and bolt were s pecially design ed for your saw,
for optim um performan ce and safety of op eration.
Kickback causes and related warnings
– kickba ck is a sudden react ion to a pinched, jamm ed or misaligned
saw blade, c ausing an uncontrol led saw to lift up an d out of the
workpie ce toward the opera tor;
– when the bla de is pinched or jamm ed tightly by the ker f closing
down, the bl ade stalls and the mot or reaction dri ves the unit
rapidly b ack toward the oper ator;
– if the blad e becomes twis ted or misaligned i n the cut, the teeth
at the back e dge of the blade can di g into the top surf ace of the
wood caus ing the blade to climb o ut of the kerf and jum p back
toward the o perator.
Kickba ck is the result of saw m isuse and/or incorre ct operating
procedu res or conditions a nd can be avoided by tak ing proper
XI
precau tions as given below.
a) Maintain a r m grip with both h ands on the saw an d
positi on your arms to res ist kickbac k forces. Posit ion your
body to ei ther side of the bl ade, but not in lin e with the
blade. Ki ckback could cau se the saw to jump back wards, but kick-
back forc es can be controlle d by the operator, if pro per precaution s
are taken.
b) When blade is b inding, or when i nterruptin g a cut for
any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless
in the mate rial until the b lade comes to a comp lete stop.
Never att empt to remove the s aw from the work or p ull the
saw back ward while th e blade is in moti on or kickback m ay
occ ur.Inves tigate and take cor rective ac tions to eliminate t he cause
of blade binding.
c) When restar ting a saw in the wo rkpiece, centr e the saw
blade in t he kerf so that th e saw teeth are not e ngaged into
the material. If the saw blade bin ds, it may lift up th e workpiece
and cause k ickback when t he saw is restar ted.
d) Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade
pinching and kickback.Large panel s tend to sag under the ir own
weight. Sup ports must be p laced under the pan el on both sides,
near the lin e of cut and near the edg e of the panel.
e) Do not use dull o r damaged blade s. Unsharpened or i m-
proper ly set blades prod uce narrow kerf cau sing excessive fr iction,
blade bind ing and kickback .
f) Blade dep th and bevel adjus ting lockin g levers must be
tight an d secure befo re making the cu t. If blade adjustment
shift s while cuttin g, it may cause bindin g and kickback.
g) Use extra ca ution when sawi ng into existi ng walls or
other blind areas. The protrudi ng blade may cut objec ts that can
cause kickback.
Lower guard function
a) Check the lower guard for proper closing before each
use. Do not o perate the saw if t he lower guard doe s not
move free ly and close ins tantly. Never cla mp or tie the
lower guard into the open position. If the saw is accident ally
droppe d, the lower guard may be be nt. Raise the lower gua rd with
the retr acting handle and m ake sure it moves fre ely and does not
touch the b lade or any other par t, in all angles and dep ths of cut.
b) Check the ope ration of the lowe r guard spring . If the
guard an d the spring are n ot operating pr operly, they mus t
be ser viced before u se. Lower guard may oper ate sluggishly due
to damaged p arts, gummy dep osits, or a build- up of debris.
c) The lower guard m ay be retracte d manually onl y for
specia l cuts such as „p lunge cuts“ a nd „compound c uts“.
Raise th e lower guard by the r etracting h andle and as soon
as the blade enters the material, the lower guard must be
released. For all other sawing, the lower guard should operate
automatically.
d) Always obser ve that the lower g uard is covering t he
blade before placing the saw down on bench or oor. An
unprotec ted, coastin g blade will cause th e saw to walk backwar ds,
cutti ng whatever is in its p ath. Be aware of the tim e it takes for the
blade to sto p after switch i s released.
