PROPERLY MAINTAIN BLADES. Always ensure
that the saw blades are sharp, undamaged, and
tightly attached before each use. Only use blades
that meet the specifications listed on the data
sheet.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Only
use appropriate blades for this saw. Do not use
blades with different diameters or arbor hole
shapes/sizes, as they will not rotate concentrically
and may damage the saw and throw blade frag-
ments with deadly force.
CUT CORRECT MATERIAL. Use the correct
blade for the type of material being cut. Do not use
this saw for cutting logs, roots, or trimming shrubs
and trees. Do not cut warped, twisted, or cupped
workpieces.
AVOID TOUCHING BLADE. Keep hand and fin-
gers clear of cutting path at all times. Never reach
under workpiece near blade, and do not perform a
cut while supporting workpiece with one hand or
balancing it on a leg or any other body part.
USE CORRECT CUTTING DEPTH. Set the cut-
ting depth so the blade protrudes no more than
1 ⁄
8
"
beyond the backside or bottom of the workpiece.
PROPERLY SUPPORT WORKPIECE. Properly
support all workpieces and cutoffs to reduce risk of
binding and kickback. Place supports under both
sides of the cut line.
PERFORM STRAIGHT CUTS. Only make straight
cuts. Always use a guide to reduce risk of binding
and kickback. Do not make freehand cuts!
STOPPING AND RESTARTING CUTS. Allow
blade to reach full speed before cutting. Complete
all cuts when possible. If a cut must be interrupted,
let blade come to a complete stop before removing
saw. Before resuming, place blade in center of kerf
and verify teeth do not contact workpiece.
PROPERLY INSTALL GUARDS. Ensure guards
are in place and operating correctly before each
cut. Repair or replace guard if it is damaged.
PROPERLY PERFORM PLUNGE CUTS. To
decrease risk of kickback, do not allow the saw
base to shift while performing beveled plunge cuts.
Before making blind plunge cuts, verify the cutting
path is clear of obstructions (electrical wires, gas
lines, plumbing, metal or stone, etc.) to reduce
the risk of explosion, fire, electrocution, property
damage, or kickback. Disconnect fuses or circuit
breakers, and shut off nearby water and gas lines
if cutting nearby.
MAINTAIN WORKPIECE CLEARANCE. Ensure
adequate clearance under workpiece to reduce
risk of blade contacting materials (concrete, rocks,
metal, etc.) that could damage it and cause it to fly
apart.
The primary risks of operating a Circular Saw are as follows: You can be seriously injured or
killed by contacting the spinning saw blade. You can be blinded by flying workpiece chips or
tramp metals. To reduce your risk of serious injury when operating this power tool, completely
heed and understand the following:
