Circular Saw WT430K
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES - FOR CIRCULAR SAWS
WARNING! Failure to follow these rules may result in serious personal injury.
1. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the
cutting tools may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a “live” wire will
make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
2. Always keep your hands away from cutting area.
Do not reach under the material being
cut because the nearness of the blade to your hand is hidden from your sight.
3. Always wear eye protectors when using tool. Use a dust mask or respirator for
applications which generate dust.
4. Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Sharp blades will do the job better and safer. Bent
blades can break easily or cause kickback.
5. The base plate must always be held firmly against the material being cut
to reduce
saw vibration, blade jumping and blade breakage.
6. Never stop the cutting blade by applying side pressure to the blade.
7. Only withdraw the blade from the cut when the blade has stopped moving.
8. Only use saw blades recommended in the specifications.
9. Your circular saw is a hand held tool, do not clamp your circular saw.
10. Before cutting, check the cutting line is free of nails, screws, etc.
11. Do not cut small work-pieces with a circular saw.
If possible, use a jigsaw.
12. Only use blades that the rated speed exceeds the saw no load speed.
13. Never remove the guard system.
Never use the saw if the guard system does not function
correctly. Never lock the moving guard open. The guard must move freely.
14. Always check walls, floors and ceilings to avoid hidden power cable and pipes.
15. Do not cut material containing asbestos.
16. Do not use metal or stone saw blades.
Only use wood saw blades.
17. Do not use circular saw to cut tree limbs or logs.
18. Do not use any abrasive wheels.
19. Save these instructions.
Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who may
use this tool. If someone borrows this tool, make sure they have these instructions.
WARNING!
a. Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the work-piece.
Less than a full tooth of the
blade teeth should be visible below the work-piece.
b. Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure the work-piece
to a stable platform.
It is important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure,
blade binding, or loss of control.
c. When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide.
This improves the accuracy
of cut and reduce the chance of blade binding.
d. Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbor
holes.
Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, caus-
ing loss of control.
e. 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.
WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paint
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products
