• Never hold the workpiece to be cut in your hands or on your leg.
Fix the workpiece to a solid base. Good clamping of the
workpiece is important to avoid the danger of contact with the
body, jamming of the rotating cutting blade or loss of cutting
control.
• Hold the saw by the insulated surfaces designed for this purpose
during work where the rotating cutting disc may come into contact
with live wires or the saw's power cord. Contact with "live wires"
of metal parts of the power tool may cause electrocution of the
operator.
• When rip cutting, always use a rip guide or edge guide. This
improves cutting accuracy and reduces the possibility of jamming
of the rotating cutting disc.
• Always use a cutting disc with the correct size of mounting holes.
Cutting discs that do not fit into the mounting slot may run
eccentrically, causing loss of control of the work.
• Never use damaged or inappropriate washers or bolts to secure
a cutting disc. The washers and bolts securing the cutting disc
have been specially designed for the saw to ensure optimum
function and safe use. Causes of recoil and prevention of recoil.
➢
Back recoil is the sudden lifting and withdrawal of the
saw towards the operator in the cutting line, caused by
a jammed or improperly guided cutting disc.
➢
When the saw blade is snagged or jammed in a slot,
the cutting blade stops and the reaction of the motor
causes the saw to move rapidly backwards towards
the operator.
➢
If the cutting disc is twisted or misaligned in the
workpiece being cut, the teeth of the cutting disc, on
exiting the material, may strike the upper surface of the
material being cut causing the cutting disc and
therefore the saw to lift and kickback towards the
operator.
Rear kickback is the result of improper use of the saw or improper
procedures or operating conditions and can be avoided by taking
appropriate precautions.
Precautions
• Hold the saw firmly with both hands, with the arms positioned to
withstand the force of the rear kickback. Assume a body position
on one side of the saw, but not in the line of cut. Rear kickback
can cause the saw to move violently backwards, but the force of
the rear kickback can be controlled by the operator if proper
precautions are taken.
• When the cutting disc jams or when it interrupts the cut for any
reason, release the switch button and hold the saw stationary in
the material until the cutting disc stops completely. Never attempt
to remove the cutting disc from the cut material or pull the saw
• backwards as long as the cutting disc is moving can cause rear
kickback. Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the
cause of the cutting disc jamming.
• When restarting the saw in the workpiece, centre the cutting disc
in the cut and check that the teeth of the cutting disc are not
jammed in the material. If the cutting disc jams when the saw is
restarted, it may slide out or cause backlash against the
workpiece.
• Support large plates to minimise the risk of jamming and back-
rejection of the saw. Large plates tend to bow under their own
weight. Supports should be placed under the slab on both sides,
near the cutting line and close to the edge of the slab.
• Do not use dull or damaged cutting discs. Unsharpened or
misaligned cutting disc teeth will create a narrow cut causing
excessive friction, jamming of the cutting disc and back recoil.
• Set the depth of cut and rake angle clamps securely before
making the cut. If the saw settings change during cutting, this can
cause jamming and back kickback.
• Be particularly careful when making plunge cuts in partitions. The
cutting blade may cut other objects not visible from the outside,
causing rear kickback.
Bottom guard functions
• Check the bottom guard before each use to ensure that it is
correctly slipped on. Do not use the saw if the bottom guard does
not move freely and does not come off immediately. Never attach
or leave the bottom guard open. If the saw is accidentally
dropped, the bottom guard may be bent. Lift the bottom guard
with the pulling handle and ensure that it moves freely and does
not touch the cutting blade or any other part of the machine for
each angle and depth of cut setting.
• Check the operation of the bottom guard spring. If the guard and
spring are not working properly, they should be repaired before
use. The operation of the bottom guard may be slowed down by
damaged parts, sticky deposits, or build-up of waste.
• Manual withdrawal of the bottom guard is only permitted for
special cuts such as "plunge cuts" and "compound cuts". Lift the
bottom guard with the pull-back handle and when the cutting disc
penetrates the material, the bottom guard should be released.
For all other cuts, it is recommended that the bottom guard
operates automatically.
• Always observe that the bottom guard covers the cutting disc
before putting the saw down on the workbench or floor. An
uncovered rotating cutting disc will cause the saw to reverse
cutting anything in its path. Consider the time required for the
cutting disc to stop after switching off.
Additional safety instructions Precautions
• Do not use damaged or deformed cutting discs.
• Do not use grinding wheels.
• Use only cutting discs recommended by the manufacturer, which
comply with EN 847-1.
• Do not use cutting discs which do not have carbide tipped teeth.
• Dust from certain types of wood can be hazardous to health.
Direct physical contact with dust may cause allergic reactions
and/or respiratory diseases in the operator or bystanders. Oak
and beech dusts are considered carcinogenic, especially in
connection with
preservatives).
• Use personal protective equipment such as:
➢
hearing protectors to reduce the risk of hearing loss;
➢
eye protection;
➢
respiratory protection to reduce the risk of inhaling
harmful dust;
➢
gloves for handling cutting discs and other rough and
sharp materials (cutting discs should be held by the
opening whenever possible);
• Connect a dust extraction system when cutting wood.
Safe working
• Select the cutting blade for the type of material to be cut.
• Do not use the saw to cut materials other than wood or wood-
based materials.
• Do not use the saw without the guard or when it is blocked.
• The floor in the area where the machine is being worked on
should be well maintained with no loose materials or protrusions.
• Adequate lighting of the work area should be provided.
• The worker operating the machine should be adequately trained
in the use, handling and operation of the machine.
• Use only sharp cutting discs.
• Pay attention to the maximum speed marked on the cutting disc.
• Ensure that the parts used comply with the manufacturer's
recommendations.
• Disconnect the saw from the power supply when carrying out
maintenance work.
• If the power cord is damaged during operation, immediately
disconnect the power supply. DO NOT TOUCH THE POWER
CORD BEFORE DISCONNECTING THE POWER.
• If the saw is equipped with a laser, do not replace the laser with
another type and any repairs must be carried out by a service
technician. Do not point the laser beam at people or animals.
• Do not use this tool in stationary mode. It is not intended for use
with a cutting table.
• Fix the workpiece on a stable surface and secure with a clamp or
vise to eliminate movement. This type of workpiece clamping is
safer than holding the workpiece in your hand.
• Wait for the blade to come to a complete stop before putting the
tool down. The cutting blade may jam and cause you to lose
control of the tool.
CAUTION: The tool is intended for indoor use.
Despite the inherently safe design, the use of safety measures
and additional protective measures, there is always a risk of
residual injury during operation.
CONSTRUCTION AND USE
The circular saw is a class II insulated hand-held power tool. It is
driven by a single-phase commutator motor. This type of power tool
is widely used for sawing wood and wood-like materials, matching
the size of the machine. It should not be used for sawing firewood.
