performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
5) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety
of the power tool is maintained.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR
ALL SAWS
Cutting procedures
a) DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting
area and the blade. If both hands are holding
the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.
b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The
guard cannot protect you from the blade below the
workpiece.
c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of
the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade
teeth should be visible below the workpiece.
d) Never hold piece being cut in your hands or
across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a stable
8
platform. It is important to support the work properly
to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of
EN
control.
e) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire
will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
f) When ripping always use a rip fence or
straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy
of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
g) Always use blades with correct size and
shape (diamond versus round) of arbor
holes. Blades that do not match the mounting
hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing
loss of control.
h) 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 operation.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL
SAWS
Kickback causes and related warnings
— kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, jammed
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 jammed tightly by the
kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor
reaction drives 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
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided
by taking proper precautions as given below.
a) Maintain a firm grip 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 workpiece,
center 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 workpiece as the saw is restarted.
d) Support large panels to minimize 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
INNER PENDULUM GUARD
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
