STATUS CP190PL [8/52] Circular saw safety rules

CIRCULAR SAW SAFETY RULES

• 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.
