GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
Service
• 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.

CIRCULAR SAW SAFETY WARNINGS

Cutting Procedures

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.
• Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard can not
protect you from the blade below the workpiece.
• 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.
• Never hold piece 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.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
when performing an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will also
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
• When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight edge guide.
This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of
blade binding.
• 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.
• When servicing a power tool, use only identical replacement
parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of
this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.
• 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, 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 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:
• 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.
• 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
