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 the lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if the
lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard
into the open position. If the saw is accidentally dropped, the 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 due to
damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
c) The lower guard may be retracted manually only for special cuts such as "plunge cuts" and
"compound cuts". Raise the lower guard by the retracting handle and as soon as the 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 the 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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNING FOR TILE CUTTING
Cut-off machine Safety warnings
a) The guard provided with the tool must be securely attached to the power tool and positioned
for maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is exposed towards the operator. Position
yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating wheel. The guard helps to protect
operator from broken wheel fragments and accidental contact with wheel.
b) Use only bonded reinforced or diamond cut-off wheels for your power tool. Just because an
accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
c) The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on
the power tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
d) Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example: do not grind with
the side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces
applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
e) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct diameter for your selected wheel.
Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.
f) Do not use worn down reinforced wheels from larger power tools. Wheels intended for a larger
power tool are not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
g) The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity
rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or
controlled.
h) The arbour size of wheels and flanges must properly fit the spindle of the power tool. Wheels
and flanges with arbour holes that do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out
of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
i) Do not use damaged wheels. Before each use, inspect the wheels for chips and cracks. If
power tool or wheel is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged wheel. After
