conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
a) 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.
b) 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 backward while the blade is in motion or kickback may occur.
Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
c) When restarting a saw in the work-piece, 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 work-piece as the saw is
restarted.
d) 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.
e) Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades
produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
f) 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. g) Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls
or other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause
kickback.

Safety instructions for Circular saw with outer pendulum guard, Circular saw
with inner pendulum guard and Circular saw with tow guard (use the type if
appropriate)
Lower guard function
a) 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 dropped,
lower guard may be bent. 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.
b) 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.
