5ENGLISHExplanation of general viewSPECIFICATIONSIntended use ENE028-1The tool is intended for performing lengthways andcrossways straight cuts and mitre cuts with angles inwood while in firm contact with the workpiece.SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES GEB014-1DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gainedfrom repeated use) replace strict adherence toCircular Saw safety rules. If you use this tool unsafelyor incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.DANGER:1. Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade.Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle, ormotor housing. If both hands are holding the saw,they cannot be cut by the blade.2. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guardcannot protect you from the blade below theworkpiece. Do not attempt to remove cut materialwhen blade is moving.CAUTION: Blades coast after turn off. Wait until bladestops before grasping cut material.3. Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of theworkpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teethshould be visible below the workpiece.4. Never hold piece being cut in your hands oracross your leg. Secure the workpiece to stableplatform. It is important to support the work properlyto minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss ofcontrol.A typical illustration of proper hand support, workpiecesupport, and supply cord routing (if applicable).(Fig. 1)5. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaceswhen performing an operation where the cuttingtool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metalparts of the power tool “live” and shock the operator.6. When ripping always use a rip fence or straightedge guide. This improves the accuracy cut andreduces the chance of blade binding.7. Always use blades with correct size and shape(diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Bladesthat do not match the mounting hardware of the sawwill run eccentrically, causing loss of control.8. Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers orbolt. The blade washers and bolt were speciallydesigned for your saw, for optimum performance andsafety of operation.9. Causes and Operator Prevention of Kickback:- kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, boundor misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolledsaw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward theoperator;- When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by thekerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motorreaction drives the unit rapidly back toward theoperator;- if the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in thecut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can diginto the top surface of the wood causing the bladeto climb out of the kerf and jump back toward theoperator.Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrectoperating procedures or conditions and can beavoided by taking proper precautions as given below.• Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the sawand position your arms to resist kickbackforces. Position your body to either side of theblade, but not in line with the blade. Kickbackcould cause the saw to jump backwards, butkickback forces can be controlled by the operator, ifproper precautions are taken.
