CORDLESS CIRCULAR SAW USER’S MANUAL
Safety instructions
13
ATTENTION! Make sure that the already cut-off parts cannot get into contact with the circular-saw blade as they may
be caught by the circular-saw blade and sprung up.
ATTENTION! Never cut more than one piece of material at the same time.
ATTENTION! Be especially careful when cutting large, very small or irregular pieces.
ATTENTION! No nails or other foreign objects may be present in the part of the machined piece to be cut.
ATTENTION! No persons are allowed to stay near or behind the circular saw where saw dust and cuttings are thrown
away.
ATTENTION! Do not use the circular saw for cutting fi e wood.
ATTENTION! Do not attempt to stop the circular-saw blade from rotating by exerting pressure to its lateral face.
ATTENTION! Do not use circular-saw blades which do not conform, in terms of dimensions and shape, to the
requirements of this tool. Before cutting, fix the work-piece fi mly e.g. using clamps (they are not part of the supply).
ATTENTION! Keep your hands away from the cutting area and from the circular-saw blade. Use your other hand to
hold the auxiliary handle or the engine cover. If you hold the circular saw with your both hands, they cannot be cut by the
circular-saw blade.
ATTENTION! Adjust the cutting depth to at least the thickness of the processed material.
ATTENTION! If you carry out work during which the tool could get into contact with hidden electric wiring or its own
cord, hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces intended for holding.
ATTENTION! Maintain a fi m grip with both hands on the saw and position your arms to resist kickback forces.
Position your body to either side of the circular-saw blade but not in line with the circular-saw blade.
ATTENTION! During longitudinal cutting, always use the longitudinal guide scale or straight guide rail.
ATTENTION! Never use damaged or incorrect washers or clamping bolts.
ATTENTION! If the circular-saw blade is pinched or when interrupting a cut for other reason, release the trigger and
hold the saw motionless in the material until the blade comes to a complete stop.
ATTENTION! Never attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw backward while the blade is in motion.
A kickback may occur.
ATTENTION! When restarting the saw in a work-piece, centre the saw blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth are
not engaged into the material.
ATTENTION! Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade pinching or kickback.
ATTENTION! Do not use dull or otherwise damaged blades.
ATTENTION! Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making a cut.
ATTENTION! Use extra caution especially when making a “plunge cut”, e.g. cut into existing walls or blind areas.
ATTENTION! Never operate the saw without the blade guard attached.
Lower guard
ATTENTION! Check lower guard for proper closing before each use.
ATTENTION! Do not operate the saw if the lower guard does not move freely and close instantly! Never clamp or tie
the lower guard into the open position.
