The TITAN TTB911CSW is a 1500W Circular Saw designed for straight cuts in wood and similar materials like MDF and chipboard. It is intended for use in an upright position with the base plate flat on the workpiece and should not be used upside down or as a stationary product on a workbench. The saw features a built-in laser for assistance with marked cutting lines. The supplied saw blade is specifically for cutting wood and should not be used on other materials.
Users must read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations, and specifications provided in the manual to prevent electric shock, fire, and serious injury. All warnings and instructions should be saved for future reference. The term "power tool" refers to both mains-operated (corded) and battery-operated (cordless) power tools.
Work Area Safety:
- Keep the work area clean and well-lit to avoid accidents.
- Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres (flammable liquids, gases, or dust) as sparks can ignite fumes.
- Keep children and bystanders away to prevent distractions and loss of control.
Electrical Safety:
- Power tool plugs must match the outlet and should never be modified. Do not use adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools to reduce the risk of electric shock.
- Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces (pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerators) as this increases the risk of electric shock.
- Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions, as water increases the risk of electric shock.
- Do not abuse the cord; keep it away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
- When operating outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use to reduce the risk of electric shock.
- If operating in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply to reduce the risk of electric shock.
Personal Safety:
- Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense. Do not operate the tool when tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication, as inattention can lead to serious injury.
- Always wear eye protection and other personal protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection, as appropriate for the conditions.

Circular Saw Safety Warnings - Cutting Procedures:
- DANGER: Keep hands away from the cutting area and the blade. Keep the second hand on the auxiliary handle or motor housing.
- Do not reach underneath the workpiece; the guard cannot protect from the blade below.
- Adjust cutting depth to the workpiece thickness; less than a full tooth of the blade should be visible below.
- Never hold the workpiece in hands or across the leg; secure it to a stable platform to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
- Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when cutting where the tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
- When ripping, use a rip fence or straight edge guide for accuracy and to reduce blade binding.
- Use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbor holes.
- Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolts.
- Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, jammed, or misaligned saw blade, causing the saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator.
- Maintain a firm grip with both hands and position arms to resist kickback forces. Position your body to either side of the blade, not in line with it.
- If the blade binds or a cut is interrupted, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless until the blade stops. Do not remove the saw or pull it backward while the blade is in motion.
- When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center the blade in the kerf so teeth are not engaged.
- Support large panels to minimize blade pinching and kickback; place supports under the panel on both sides, near the cut line and edge.
- Do not use dull or damaged blades; they cause narrow kerf, friction, binding, and kickback.
- Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight before cutting.
- Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls or blind areas, as protruding blades can cause kickback.
Safety Instructions for Circular Saws with Inner Pendulum Guard - Lower Guard Function:
- Check the lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate if it doesn't move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie it open.
- Check the operation of the lower guard spring; if not operating properly, service before use.
- The lower guard may be retracted manually only for "plunge cuts" and "compound cuts." Release it as soon as the blade enters the material. For other sawing, it should operate automatically.
- Always ensure the lower guard covers the blade before placing the saw down. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backward.
Additional Circular Saw Safety Warnings:
- Do not use abrasive wheels.
- Use only blades with diameters in accordance with markings and technical specifications.
- Follow blade changing procedures.
- Check all blade guard operations.
- Only cut materials listed in the intended use.
- Use a dust collection system.
- Clean the product and guarding system properly and regularly.
Saw Blade Safety Warnings:
- Only use saw blades if you know how to use and handle them.
- Pay attention to the maximum rotational speed marked on the blade.
- Do not use cracked saw blades; repairing them is not permitted.
- Clean clamping surfaces to remove dirt, grease, oil, and water.
- Do not use loose rings or sleeves to "make up" bore sizes.
- Ensure fixed rings for securing saw blades have the same diameter and are parallel.
- Handle saw blades with care; store them in original packaging or special boxes. Wear gloves.
- Ensure all guards are correctly fixed before use.
- Before use, ensure the saw blade complies with technical requirements and is correctly fixed.
- Only use manufacturer-recommended saw blades conforming to EN 847-1 for wood and analogous materials.
- Avoid overheating blade tips and melting plastic workpieces during long periods of use. Take 15-minute breaks regularly to cool blade tips.
Laser Safety Warnings:
- Protect yourself and the environment from accidents through appropriate precautions.
- Do not stare directly into the laser beam without eye protection; it can cause permanent retinal damage.
- Do not stare directly into the laser with other optical instruments (e.g., a magnifier).
- Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals or onto reflecting surfaces; it can cause blindness or irritation. Even a low-power laser can damage the eye.
- Caution: executing processes different from those described can lead to dangerous radiation exposure.
- Never open or manipulate the laser module; it might cause unexpected radiation exposure.

Additional Safety Warnings for Construction Dust:
The COSHH Regulations (1st October 2012) aim to reduce risks from silica, wood, and gypsum dusts. Construction workers are at risk from breathing in Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS) from materials like sand, sandstone, granite, concrete, and mortar during cutting, drilling, and grinding. Breathing in fine particles can lead to lung cancer, silicosis, and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (COPD). Wood dust can cause Asthma.
- To protect lungs, the COSHH Regulations set a Workplace Exposure Limit (WEL).
- Reduce dust by using optimal building product sizes, less powerful tools (e.g., block cutter instead of angle grinder), or different methods (e.g., nail gun instead of drilling).
- Always work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks designed to filter microscopic particles, and use dust extraction.
- WARNING: Some dust particles contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Examples include lead from lead-based paints, crystalline silica from masonry products, and arsenic/chromium from chemically treated timber.
- Reduce exposure by working in well-ventilated areas and using approved dust masks.
Vibration:
The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive helps reduce hand-arm vibration syndrome injuries. Manufacturers provide indicative vibration test results.
- See technical specifications for vibration levels.
- The declared vibration emission value should be used as a minimum level and with current guidance.
- WARNING: Actual vibration values can differ based on usage. Adopt measures to protect against vibration exposure, considering the whole work process (including idle and off times). Measures include regular maintenance, keeping hands warm, periodical breaks, and proper work planning.
- Poor MAINS conditions can cause voltage drops when starting the equipment. If MAINS-IMPEDANCE Zmax < 0.42 OHM, disturbances are not expected.
Health Surveillance:
Employees should be part of an employer's health surveillance scheme to identify vibration-related diseases early, prevent progression, and help them stay in work.
