p. 

Ensure the lower guard is appropriately positioned before each 
use. Do not use the saw when the lower guard does not move 
freely and does not close immediately. Do not fix and do not 
leave the lower guard open.

When the saw is accidentally dropped 

the lower guard may get deformed. Lift the lower guard with pull-
handle and ensure it is free to move and does not touch the blade nor 
any other part of the tool for any setting of cutting depth and angle.

q. 

Check functioning of the lower guard spring. Repair the guard 
and its spring before use when they do not work properly.

Lower 

guard functioning may be slowed down due to damaged parts, sticky 
sediments or building up of layers of wastes.

r. 

Manual pulling off the lower guard is allowed only when special 
cutting is performed, such as “in-depth cutting” and “compound 
cutting”. Lift the lower guard with its pull handle. As soon as the 
cutting blade sinks in the material the guard must be released.

 For 

all other cuts it is recommended that the guard works automatically.

s. 

Always ensure the lower guard covers cutting blade before 
putting the circular saw on the work bench or floor.

 Uncovered, 

rotating blade will move the circular saw back and will cut everything 
in its way. Consider time required for stopping the blade after the saw 
is switched off.

CAUSES OF KICK BACK AND WAYS TO REDUCE IT

•

Kick back is sudden lift and backing of the saw in the line cutting 
line towards operator. This is caused by  cutting blade being 
pinched or incorrectly guided.

•

When cutting blade is caught or pinched in material, the blade 
stops and motor reaction produces sudden movement of the saw 
to the back, towards operator.

•

If the cutting blade is warped or positioned incorrectly in the 
object being cut, blade teeth may hit the upper surface of the 
material when leaving the material. It will cause sudden raise of 
the blade and the saw, and kick back towards operator.

Kick back is effect of improper use of circular saw, or wrong 
operating procedures or conditions, and can be avoided by 
observing applicable, below mentioned precautions: 

Precautions

•

Do not use damaged or deformed cutting blades.

•

Use only cutting blades that are recommended by the 
manufacturer and comply with the standard EN 847-1.

•

Do not use cutting blades without sintered carbide tips on teeth.

•

Use personal protection measures, such as:

-

earmuff protectors to reduce risk of hearing damage,

-

eye shield,

-

respiratory system protection to reduce risk of harmful dusts 
inhalation,

-

gloves for maintenance of cutting blades and other rough and 
sharp materials (hold cutting blades by mount hole whenever 
possible).

•

Connect dust extraction system when cutting wood.

Safe operation

•

Match cutting blade with material that you plan to cut.

•

Never use the saw for cutting materials other than wood and 
wood-like.

•

Do not use the saw without guard or when the guard is blocked. 

•

Floor close to the machine work place must be kept tidy and 
without loose materials and protrusions.

•

Provide appropriate work place illumination.

•

Machine operator must be properly trained for use, operation and 
working with the machine.

•

Use only sharp cutting blades.

•

Observe maximum speed marked on the cutting blade.

•

Ensure that parts are used in accordance with the manufacturer 
instructions.

•

If the saw is equipped with laser, replacement with laser of another 
type is forbidden and all repairs must be carried out by the service.

CAUTION! This device is designed to operate indoors.

The design is assumed to be safe, protection measures and 
additional safety systems are used, nevertheless there is always a 
small risk of operational injuries.

CONSTRUCTION AND USE

Circular saw is a hand-held power tool with insulation class II. It is 
driven by a single-phase commutator motor. This type of power 
tools is widely used for cutting wood and objects made of wood-
like materials that match with the tool size. Do not use the saw for 
cutting firewood. Attempts to use the circular saw for purposes 
other than specified will be considered an improper use. Use the 
circular saw only with appropriate cutting blades with teeth with 
sintered carbide tips. Circular saw is designed for light duty works in 
service workshops and any individual, amateur activities (tinkering). 

Use the power tool according to the manufacturer’s instructions 
only.
