CIRCULAR SAW SAFETY
WARNINGS
Cutting procedures
1.
DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting
area and the blade. Keep your second hand
on auxiliary handle, or motor housing.
If both
hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by
the blade.
2.
Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
The
guard cannot protect you from the blade below
the workpiece.
3.
Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of
the workpiece.
Less than a full tooth of the blade
teeth should be visible below the workpiece.
4.
Never hold piece being cut in your hands or
across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a
stable platform.
It is important to support the
work properly to minimize body exposure, blade
binding, or loss of control.
A typical illustration of proper hand support, workpiece
support, and supply cord routing (if applicable).

5.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire
will also make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
6.
When ripping, always use a rip fence or
straight edge guide.
This improves the accuracy
of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
7.
Always use blades with correct size and
shape (diamond versus round) of arbour
holes.
Blades that do not match the mounting
hardware of the saw will run eccentrically,
causing loss of control.
8.
Never use damaged or incorrect blade
washers or bolt.
The blade washers and bolt
were specially designed for your saw, for
optimum performance and safety of operation.
Kickback causes and related warnings
−
kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound
or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled
saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the
operator;
−
when the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the
kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor
reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the
operator;
−
if the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the
cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig
into the top surface of the wood causing the blade
to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the
operator.
