SR165 CIRCULAR SAW
Warning
Keep hands away from cutting area and the
blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary
handle, or motor housing. If both hands
are holding the saw, they cannot be cut
by the blade.
1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
HANDLING THE CIRCULAR SAW
• Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep
your second hand on auxiliary 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 can-
not protect you from the blade below the workpiece.
• Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the work-
piece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be
visible below the workpiece.
• Never hold the workpiece being cut in your hands or
across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform.
It is important to support the work properly to minimize
body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
• Hold the power tool only by the insulated gripping sur-
faces when performing an operation where the cutting
tool may contac hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact
with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the
power 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 of blade binding.
• Always use blades with correct size and shape of arbour
holes. Blades that do not match the coupling elements of
the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
• Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt.
The blade washers and bolt were specially designed for
your saw, for optimum performance and safety of ope-
ration.
• Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
– Kickback is a sudden reaction 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 reaction dri-
ves 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 toward the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect ope-
rating 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 motion-
less 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 kic-
kback may occur.
Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the
cause of blade binding.
• When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the saw
blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth are not enga-
ged 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 pin-
ching 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 jagged or damaged blades. Unsharpened or
improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing exces-
