Safety instructions for Plunge type saw 

Safety Information 

1.  Use only saw blades recommended by the manufacturer, which conform to EN 847-1, 

if intended for wood and analogous materials.

2.  Do not use any abrasive wheels.
3.  Use only blade diameter(s) in accordance with the markings.
4.  Identify the correct saw blade to be used for the material to be cut.

5�   For your safety use, always control your saw by your two hands�

Additional safety rules for your circular saw

all angles and depths of cut.

b)  Check the operation and condition of the guard return spring� If the guard and the 

spring are not operating properly, they must be serviced before use�

 Guard may 

operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.

c)   Assure that the base plate of the saw will not shift while performing the “plunge cut” 

when the blade bevel setting is not at 90°�

 Blade shifting sideways will cause binding 

and likely kick back.

d)  Always observe that the guard is covering the blade before placing saw down on bench 

or floor�

 An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting 

whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is 
released.
