DETAILED SAFETY REGULATIONS
DETAILS OF OPERATIONAL SAFETY FOR CIRCULAR SAWS WITHOUT SPLITTING WEDGE
DANGER
a. Keep your hands away from cutting area and cutting blade. Keep the second hand on the
secondary handle or the motor casing. When holding the saw with both hands the risk of injury with
cutting blade is reduced.
b. Do not reach under the processed material. Guard does not protect from rotating cutting blade below
processed material.
c. Adjust cutting depth to thickness of processed material. It is recommended that the cutting blade
reaches below the processed material no more than tooth-length.
d. Never hold processed material in hands, never keep it on legs. Fix processed material to sound
base. Good fixing of processed material is important to avoid danger of contact with body, rotating cutting
blade being caught or loss of control over the operation.
e. Hold the insulated surfaces of the saw that are designed for such purpose when the rotating
cutting blade can encounter live wires or the wire that powers the saw. Contact of power tool metal
parts with live wire may cause operator’s electric shock.
f. When ripping always use guide for ripping or edge guide. It improves cutting accuracy and reduces
risk of pinching the rotating cutting blade in material.
g. Use only cutting blades with correct arbour hole diameter. Cutting blades that do not match seating
may operate with eccentric offset, which causes loss of control over operation.
h. Never use damaged or incorrect washers or bolts to install cutting blade. Washers and fixing bolts for
cutting blade installation were designed especially for circular saw to provide optimal operation and safety
of use.
i. Hold the circular saw firmly with both hands in position that allows to resist kick-back. Stand to
the side of the circular saw but not in the line of cutting. Kick back may cause sudden move to the back
of circular saw but its force can be controlled by operator when appropriate precaution measures are taken.
j. When the cutting blade jams or stops cutting, release the switch button and hold the saw still in
the material until the blade stops completely. Never attempt removing the cutting blade from
material being cut nor pull the saw back when the blade is rotating. It may cause kick back.
Investigate and implement correction procedures to eliminate causes of cutting blade seizing.
k. When restarting the saw in the processed material, center the cutting blade in the kerf and ensure
the blade teeth are not blocked in the material. When the cutting blade jams during restart, it may slide
off or cause kick back against the processed material.
l. Support large boards to minimize risk of pinching and kick back of the circular saw. Large boards
tend to bend under own weight. Place supports under board on both sides, close to the cutting line and close
to the board edge.
m. Do not use blunt or damaged cutting blades. Blunt or incorrectly positioned blade teeth create narrow
kerf, excessive friction, jamming of cutting blade and kick back.
n. Firmly set clamps for cutting depth and bevel angle before making a cut. Change of saw settings
during cutting may cause jamming and kick back.
o. Be very careful during in-depth cutting in division walls. Cutting blade may encounter objects not
visible from the outside and cause kick back.
p. Ensure the lower guard is appropriately positioned before each use. Do not use the saw when the
lower guard does not move freely and does not close immediately. Do not fix and do not leave the
lower guard open.
When the saw is accidentally dropped the lower guard may get deformed. Lift the lower
guard with pull-handle and ensure it is free to move and does not touch the blade nor any other part of the
tool for any setting of cutting depth and angle.
