Kick back occurs when the saw stalls rapidly and is driven back towards the operator. To avoid kick back keep blades sharp and
always support large work pieces correctly. Release the switch immediately if blade binds or if the circular saw stalls.
• Do not remove the saw from a work piece while the blade is still moving. Never place your hands or fingers behind or in front
of the saw (Fig 11). If kick back occurs, the saw could jump backwards over your hand, possibly causing severe injury.
• Always lower guard with the retaining handle. Before cutting be sure that the depth and bevel adjustments are tight.
• Use only the correct blades for your power tool with the correct bore size.
• Never use defective or incorrect blade washers or bolts.
• Avoid cutting nails by inspecting the work piece, remove all nails from the work piece before cutting.
• Operate with the correct hand and work piece support.
• It is important to support the work piece properly and to hold the saw firmly to prevent loss of control which could cause
personal injury.
• Fig. 12 illustrates the correct hand positions to support of the saw
• Place the wider portion of the saw base on that part of the work piece which is solidly supported, not on the section that will
fall off when the cut is made. If the work piece is short or small, clamp it to a suitable support.
• DO NOT TRY TO HOLD SHORT PIECES BY HAND!
• Fig. 13 illustrates the correct way to cut off the end of a board. Fig.14 shows the wrong way to cut off the end of a board.
• Never attempt to saw with the Circular Saw held upside down in a vice, this is extremely dangerous and can lead to a serious
accident.
• Before setting the tool down after completing a cut, be sure that the lower guard has closed and the blade has come to a
complete stop.
Safety Instructions - Lower Guard
• Check lower guard is properly closed before each use. Do not operate the saw if the lower guard does not move freely and
close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard in the open position. If the saw is accidentally dropped, lower guard may
be bent. Raise the lower guard with the blade guard lever 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 blade guard lever. As soon as blade enters the material, the lower guard must be released. For all other sawing tasks, the
lower guard should operate automatically.
• Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing the saw down on bench or floor.
• Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after the switch is released.
