CIRCULAR SAW SAFETY RULES

• Never use the machine with a damaged cable. Do not touch the damaged cable and

pull the mains plug when the cable is damaged while operating. Damaged cables

increase the risk of electric shock.

• Always keep the cord away from the working area of the power tool.

• Prior to operation remove all nails, screws and other objects from the work piece.

You may damage the saw blade and the machine by cutting into a nail or other

metal. It can also present a safety hazard.

• Use clamps or a vice to secure your work whenever possible.

• Never start the power tool under load. Make sure that the saw blade is not in

contact with the work piece when you switch the machine on.

• Always switch o and wait until the saw blade has come to a complete standstill

before removing the machine from the work piece.

• Never apply side pressure to stop the blade rotation after switching o the saw.

• Do not touch the saw blade immediately after operation. It may be extremely hot

and could burn your skin.

• Do not use blades with parameters not corresponding to those mentioned above.

• Do not use abrasive wheels (for grinding or cutting).

• Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce

narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.

• Do not reach underneath the work piece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade

below the work piece.

• Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the work piece. Less than a full tooth of

the blade teeth should be visible below the work piece.

• Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure the work piece

to a stable platform. It is important to support the work properly to minimize body

exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.

• Never use damaged or incorrect blade anges or bolt. The blade anges and bolt were

specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.

• Rags, cloths, cord, string and the like should never be left around the work area.

• The tool must be used only for its prescribed purpose. Any use other than those

mentioned in this Manual will be considered a case of misuse. The user and not the

manufacturer shall be liable for any damage or injury resulting from such cases of misuse.

• To use this tool properly, you must observe the safety regulations, the assembly

instructions and the operating instructions found in this Manual. All persons who

use and service the machine have to be acquainted with this Manual and must be

informed about its potential hazards. Children and frail people must not use this
