Original operating instructions

We hereby declare under our sole responsibility 

that these cordless hand-held circular saws, 

identified by type and serial number *1), meet all 

relevant requirements of directives *2) and 

standards *3). Technical documents for *4) - see 

page 3.

The hand-held circular saw is suitable for sawing 

wood, plastics and other similar materials.
The machine is not designed for plunge cuts.
The user bears sole responsibility for any damage 

caused by inappropriate use.
Generally accepted accident prevention 

regulations and the enclosed safety information 

must be observed.

For your own protection and for the 

protection of your electrical tool, pay 

attention to all parts of the text that are 

marked with this symbol!

WARNING

 – Reading the operating instruc-

tions will reduce the risk of injury.

WARNING – Read all safety warnings, 

instructions, illustrations and 

specifications provided with this power tool.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may 

result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future 

reference.

 Pass on your electrical tool only 

together with these documents.

Cutting procedure

a) 

DANGER: 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. 
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 the workpiece in your hands or 

across your leg while cutting. Secure the 

workpiece to a stable platform.

 It is important to 

support the work properly to minimise body 

exposure, blade binding, or loss of control. 

e) 

Hold the power tool by insulated gripping 

surfaces, 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 arbour holes.

Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of 

the saw will run off-centre, 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. 

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 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. 
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, 

centre the saw blade in the kerf so that the saw 

teeth are not engaged into the material.

 If a saw 

blade binds, it may walk up or kickback from the 

workpiece as the saw is restarted. 
d) 

Support large panels to minimise 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.
