TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 1
SAFETY

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 mains-operated (corded) 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 earthed (grounded) power tools.

Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk
of electric shock.

b)

Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded

surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.

There is an increased risk of electric

shock if your body is earthed or 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 an earth leakage circuit breaker.

Use of an earth leakage circuit breaker 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 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 off-position before connecting to power
source, 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 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. 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 INSTRUCTIONS FOR CIRCULAR SAWS

DANGER

•

Keep hands away from cutting area and the

blade; keep your second hand on front handle

(if both hands are holding the saw, they can not be cut
by the blade)

•

Do not reach underneath the workpiece

(the guard

cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece)

•

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)

•

Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across

your leg

(it is important to support the work properly to
minimise body exposure, blade binding, or loss of
control)

•

Hold 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
tool “live” and shock the operator)

•

When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge

guide

(this improves the accuracy of cut and reduces

the chance for blade binding)

•

Always use blades with correct size and shape of

arbor holes (diamond or round)

(blades that do not
match the mounting hardware of the saw will run
eccentrically, causing loss of control)

•

Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or

bolts

(the blade washers and bolt were specially
designed for your saw, for optimum performance and
safety of operation)

KICKBACK - CAUSES

•

Kickback is a sudden r

eaction 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 r

eaction

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 towar

ds operator

KICKBACK - OPERATOR PREVENTION

Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below

•

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)

•

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 backwards while the
blade is in motion or kickback may occur (investigate

and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of
blade binding; avoid cutting nails or screws)

•

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)

•

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)

•

Do not use a dull or damaged blade

(unsharpened or
improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing
excessive friction, blade binding and kickback)

•

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)

•

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)

WARNING

•

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
position

• If saw is accidentally dr

opped, lower guard may be
bent; disconnect the plug, 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

• 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 should be retracted manually only for

special cuts such as plunge cuts and 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)
