20V 6-1/2" CIRCULAR SAW 

 SAFETY INFORMATION

•  Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away 

from moving parts.

 Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. 

•  If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection 

facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. 

Use of dust collection can 

reduce dust related hazards. 

•  Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become 

complacent and ignore tool safety principles. 

A careless action can cause severe 

injury within a fraction of a second.

Power tool use and care

•  Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. 

The 

correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. 

•  Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. 

Any power tool 

that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. 

•  Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, 

if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing 
accessories, or storing power tools.

 Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk 

of starting the power tool accidentally. 

•  Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons 

unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. 

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. 

•  Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of 

moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the 
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. 

Many 

accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. 

•  Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. 

Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp 

cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. 

•  Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these 

instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be 
performed. 

Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could 

result in a hazardous situation. 

•  Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. 

Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the 
tool in unexpected situations.

Battery tool use and care

•  Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer.

 A charger that is suitable 

for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
