OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Before each use always check the operation of the lower guard
before connecting the battery to the Circular Saw. Do not use the Circular Saw
if the lower guard does not close smoothly over the saw blade and returns fully
to the closed position.
Keep guards in place and in good working order at all times to avoid serious
accidents. Support large panels as shown in Fig.7 to minimize the risk of blade
pinching and kickback.
Fig. 8, below, shows the wrong way to cut large pieces of wood, cutting in this way
will cause serious injury to the operator. When cutting, the saw should rest on the
a rip fence at all times, this will help to prevent side pressure being exerted on the
blade and will also give a straighter cut.
FIG. 7 FIG. 8
GUARDING AGAINST KICKBACK
Kickback occurs when the saw stalls rapidly and is driven back towards the
operator. To avoid kickback keep blades sharp and always support large work pieces
correctly. Release the switch immediately if blade binds or if the circular saw stalls.
Do not remove the saw from a work piece while the blade is still moving. Never place
your hands or fingers behind or in front of the saw Fig. 9.
FIG. 9 FIG. 10
If kickback occurs, the saw could jump backwards over your hand, possibly causing
severe injury. Always lower guard with the retaining handle. Before cutting be sure
that the depth and bevel adjustments are tight. Use only the correct blades for your
power tool with the correct bore size. Never use defective or incorrect blade washers
or bolts. Avoid cutting nails by inspecting the work piece, remove all nails from the
work piece before cutting. Operate with the correct hand and work piece support.
