Safety instructions for
circular saws
Cutting Procedures
• DANGER! Keep hands away
from cutting area and the blade.
Keep your second hand on aux-
iliary handle, or motor housing.
If both hands are holding the saw,
they cannot be cut by the blade.
• Do not reach underneath the
workpiece. The guard cannot pro-
tect 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 work-
piece.
• Never hold the workpiece in your
hands or across your leg while
cutting. Secure the workpiece to
a stable platform. It is important
to support the workpiece properly
to minimise body exposure, blade
binding, or loss of control.
• Hold the power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces, when per-
forming an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring. Cutting accessor-
ies contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and could give
the operator an electric shock.
• When ripping always use a rip
fence or straight edge guide.
This improves the accuracy of cut
and reduces the chance of blade
binding.
• 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 off-
centre, causing loss of control.

• Never use damaged or incor-
rect blade washers or bolt. The
blade washers and bolt were spe-
cially designed for your saw, for
optimum performance and safety
of operation.
Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a
pinched, jammed or misaligned saw
blade, causing an uncontrolled saw
to lift up and out of the workpiece to-
ward the operator.
When the blade is pinched or jammed
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 mis-
aligned 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.
Kickback is the result of power 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 back-
wards, 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 com-
plete stop. Never attempt to re-
move the saw from the work or
pull the saw backward while the
blade is in motion or kickback
