SAFETY RULES FOR CIRCULAR SAWS
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
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.
Do not reach underneath the workpiece . The guard cannot protect you from the blade
below the workpiece.
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.
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.
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.
