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 making a "plunge
cut" into existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding blade may cut objects that can
cause kickback.
Safety instructions lower guard
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.
c) Lower guard should be retracted manually
only for special cuts such as "plunge cuts"
and "compound cuts." Raise lower guard
by retracting handle and as soon as blade
enters the material, the lower guard must
be released. For all other sawing, the lower
guard should operate automatically.
d) Always observe that the lower guard is
covering the blade before placing saw down
on bench or floor. An unprotected, coasting
blade will cause the saw to walk backwards,
cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the
time it takes for the blade to stop after switch
is released.
Before using the circular saw
Check the following points:
• Does the voltage of the motor correspond
with the mains voltage (appliances for a
mains voltage of 230 V
• Are the mains lead and the mains plug in
a good condition: solid, without any loose
ends or damage;
• Is the saw blade missing any teeth or
showing any cracks, it so must be
Ferm
replaced immediately.
• Make sure the blade is secure.
• Use this circular saw to saw only wood,
wood-like products.
• Do not use circular saw blades wich are
deformed or damaged.
• Do not use HSS blades.
• Only use blades meeting the required
dimensions, as well as data and descriptions;
• Never apply any blades of which the thick-
ness is greater than that of the riving knife.
• Do not stop the blade of a circular saw by
pressing the blade from the side.
• Check that the blade guard can freely move
and fully closes.
• Never lock-up the guard in the open position.
• Never put sideward pressure on the blade.
This may cause the blade to break.
• Be careful when cutting wood with knots,
nails or cracks in it and/or dirt on it, as these
can cause the blade to get stuck.
• Never leave the circular saw unattended.
• Use this circular saw to saw only wood or
wood-like products.
Using the machine
• Use clamps or a vice to hold the work.
• Never remove wood chips and saw dust that
is close to the saw blade with your hands. If
there are small pieces of wood left between
the fixed and the movable parts, the circular
saw will have to be stopped. The plug needs
to be removed from the socket, before any left
piece can be removed.
• Check that the blade is suitable for the
spindle speed of the circular saw. Do not
attempt to cut before the circular saw has
reached full speed. Make sure the circular
saw runs without load (i.e. is not in contact
with the work) when you switch it on. The
circular saw must have reached its full speed
first.
• Never cut wood that is thicker than the depth
of the saw blade.
• When cutting in wooden walls or floors, check
there is no wiring or piping where you intend
to cut.
• Switch off the tool and wait until the blade has
stopped completely before moving the saw
away from the work or putting it down.
Hearing protection should be worn when
using circular saw.
Switch off the machine immediately when you
