Circular Saw

8

6. 

Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making a cut.

 

If blade adjustment shifts while cutting,it may cause binding and kickback.

7. 

Use extra caution when making a”plunge cut” into existing walls or other blind areas.The 

 

protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.

Safety instruction for saws 

1. 

Check lower guard for proper closing before each use.Do not operate the saw if lower guard 

 

does not move freely and close instantly.Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open 

 

position.If saw is accidentally dropped,lower guard may be bent.Raise the lower guard with 

 

the retracting handle and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other 

 

part,in all angles and depth of cut.

NOTE:  Alternate wording may be substituted for “retracting handle”

2. 

Check the operation of the lower guard spring.If  the guard and the spring are not operating 

 

properly,they must be serviced before use.Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to 

 

damaged parts,gummy deposits,or a build-up of debris.

3. 

Lower guard should be retracted manually only for special cuts such as “plunge cuts”and

 

”compound cuts.” Raise lower guard by retracting handle and as soon as blade enters the 

 

material,the lower guard must be released.For all other sawing,the lower guard should 

 

operate automatically.

4. 

Always observe that the lower 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.
