Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable
and may lead to loss of control.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR 15A CIRCULAR SAW
WARNING: Know your circular saw. Do not plug in the tool until you have
read and understand this Instruction Manual. Learn the tool’s applications
and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
Always wear eye protection. Any power tool can throw foreign objects into
your eyes and cause permanent eye damage. ALWAYS wear safety goggles
(not glasses) that comply with ANSI safety standard Z87.1. Everyday glasses
have only impact resistant lenses. They ARE NOT safety glasses.
WARNING: Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could
cause serious injury when they break.
Always keep hands out of the path of the saw blade. Avoid awkward hand positions
where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the path of the saw blade.
DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep your
second hand on the tool. If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by
the blade.
Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the
blade below the workpiece.
Adjust the cutting depth according to the thickness of the workpiece. Less than a
full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the workpiece or approximately
3/8" (10 mm).
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 tool by its insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation
where the saw blade may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a
“live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
When ripping always use a straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut
and reduces the chance of the blade binding.
Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of
arbor holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run
eccentrically, causing loss of control.
Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt. The blade washers and
