account the working conditions and the work to be 

performed.

 Use of the power tool for operations different 

from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

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 CIRCULAR SAWS

1) CUTTING PROCEDURES

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 can not 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 being cut in your hands or 

across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a stable 

platform.

 It is important to support the work properly to 

minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of 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 parallel guide 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 

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.

2) kICkBACk CAUSES AND RELATED WARNINGS

•  Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound 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 bound 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 towards operator

•  Kickback is the result of tool 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 backwards while the 

blade is in motion or kickback may occur.

 Investigate 

and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of 

blade binding. Avoid cutting nails or screws.

c) 

When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre 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 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.

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.

3) 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. 

Disconnect the plug, 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.
