For your personal safety always ensure that you:
a. Review and follow the instructions carefully, particularly when changing blades.

WARNING
If used carelessly or improperly, circular saw blades can cause serious injury.
Always ensure that all safety instructions for the power tool or woodworking machine are observed.
a. Remove all contents from the packaging and inspect the contents to ensure no damage occurred during
shipping.
b. Perform a saw check and make sure every part of the circular saw is working properly.
c. Check the markings on the circular saw blades for the direction of rotation and machine settings.
d. Check the condition of the circular saw blades – any with visible cracks should be scrapped.
e. Check the condition of the saw blades – do not use deformed, cracked, worn or otherwise damaged
blades.
f. Never use a blade with missing or damaged teeth or carbide tips – damaged blades should be discarded
properly.
g. Ensure that the blades are sharp – never use a dull/blunt blade.
h. Before installation please ensure the blade is the correct diameter and arbour size for your saw. Blades
that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
i. When starting the saw for the rst time after installing a blade, allow the saw to run at full ‘No Load Speed’
for a few seconds. Be sure to stand aside from the blade path during this time. Look out for any blade
wobble or vibration that could indicate incorrect installation.
j. A blunt blade may burn the cutting surface. If this happens, please replace the blade immediately.
Overheated blade tips may loosen and cause serious injury.

1) Before use
a. All users should be adequately trained and experienced in the use of these tools.
b. Choose a suitable circular saw blade for the material to be worked.
c. Ensure that the diameter, width and bore sizes are correct for the machine to be used.
d. When the tool is not in use, it should be stored in a way that will prevent damage to the blade’s teeth.
e. Do not touch cutting discs until they have cooled down. The cutting discs become very hot while
operating.
f. Ensure that the permitted maximum speed of the cutting disc matches at least the maximum speed of the
power tool.
g. Remove the circular saw blade before transporting the power tool in order to prevent damage.
h. Disconnect the power supply before changing the circular saw blade.
i. Do not overreach while cutting - when trying to cut long boards with your circular saw, do not try to
overreach or try to cut further than your hands can extend.
