Never hold a workpiece in your hand or across
your leg when sawing.
NEVER overreach! Always, hold the saw rmly
with both hands after securing the workpiece.
Keep hands and body away from and to the side
of the blade. Contact with blade will result in
serious injury.
Set blade depth to no
more than 1/8 in. to
1/4 in. greater than
the thickness of the
material being cut.
Less than a full tooth
should be visible below the workpiece.
Minimize blade pinching by placing the saw
shoe on the clamped, supported portion of the
workpiece, and allowing the cut off piece to fall
away freely.
When you start your saw allow the blade to
reach full speed before contacting the work-
piece.
Be alert to the possibility of the blade binding
and kickback occurring. Hold the saw with two
hands and position your arms to resist kickback.
If a fence or guide board is used, be certain the
blade is kept parallel with it.
Never remove the saw from a cut while the
blade is rotating. When making a partial cut, or if
power is interrupted, release the switch immedi-
ately and don’t remove the saw from the work-
piece until the blade has come to a complete
stop. Removing the saw with a rotating blade
could result in a saw tooth grabbing the work-
piece, causing loss of control.
Never reach under the saw or workpiece. The
blade is exposed under the workpiece and the
saw guard cannot protect your body here.
Release the switch immediately if the blade
binds or the saw stalls.
When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center
the saw blade in the kerf and check that saw
teeth are not touching the material when the saw
is turned on.
Turn off the tool after
a cut is completed and
keep the saw away
from your body until the
blade stops. The blade
may coast for a time,
posing the risk of seri-
ous cuts.
Overheating a saw
blade can cause it to warp and result in kick-
back. Buildup of sap on the blades
, insufcient
blade set, dullness, and unguided cuts, can all
cause an overheated blade and kickback.
Be sure the blade anges (washers) or bolt are
correctly assembled on the shaft and installed in
accordance with the tool manufactuer’s instruc-
tions.
Check for proper blade
guard operation before
each cut. Never use a
tool with a guard miss-
ing. The guards should
return to their normal
position quickly. If a
guard seems slow to
return or “hangs up”,
repair or adjust it immediately. Never alter or
defeat the guard (e.g., tying back or removing
the guard).
The lower guard should be pulled back manually
only for special cuts such as “Pocket Cuts” and
“Compound Cuts”. Raise the lower guard using
the lower guard lever. As soon as blade enters
the material, release the lower guard.
Be sure the tool switch works properly. Do not
use a tool if the switch does not turn it off when
returned to the off position.
Tighten depth and bevel levers securely.
While Cutting …
Concentrate on what you are doing and be
aware of kickback (a sudden reaction to a
pinched, bound or misaligned blade). Kickback
can cause an uncon-
trolled tool to lift up and out
of the workpiece toward the
operator and is the result of
tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or con-
ditions. Take these specic precautions to help prevent
kickback when using any type of circular saw:
Before starting a circular saw, be sure the power
cord and extension cord are out of the blade
path and are long enough to freely complete the
cut. A sudden jerk or pull on the cord can cause
loss of control of the saw and a serious accident.
Clamp workpieces securely. Check frequently
to be sure clamps remain secure. A moving
workpiece can cause loss of control and result in
injury.
