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
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
RULES FOR YOUR
CIRCULAR SAW
1. Use only saw blades recommended by the
manufacturer, which conform to EN 847-1, if
intended for wood and analogous materials.
2. Do not use any abrasive wheels.
3. Use only blade diameter(s) in accordance with
the markings.
4. Identify the correct saw blade to be used for the
material to be cut.
5. Use only saw blades that are marked with a
speed equal or higher than the speed marked on
the tool.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY
RULES FOR YOUR
CUTTING-OFF MACHINES
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 inspecting
and installing the wheel, position yourself and
bystanders away from the plane of the rotating
wheel and run the power tool at maximum no
load speed for one minute. Damaged wheels will
normally break apart during this test time.
j) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending
on application, use face shield, safety goggles
or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust
mask, hearing protectors, gloves and shop apron
capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece
fragments. The eye protection must be capable
