CIRCULAR SAW SAFETY RULES

Safety instructions for all saws

DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep your second

hand on auxiliary handle, or motor housing. 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 to the thickness of the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of

the blade teeth should be visible below the workpiece.

• 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 power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an

operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact

with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give

the operator an electric shock.

• When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the

accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.

• Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbour

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 wash-ers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt

were specially designed for your saw, for optimum perfor-mance and safety of operation.

CIRCULAR SAW SAFETY RULES

Battery tool use and care

• Recharge only with the charger specied by the manufacturer. A charter that is suitable

for one type of battery pack may create a risk of re when used with another battery

pack.

• Use power tools only with specically designated battery packs. Use of any other

battery packs may create a risk of injury and re.

• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, lie paperclips,

coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from

one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a

re.

• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If

contact accidentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek

medical help.
