Ensure that movable guards operate freely without jamming.
After long working periods external metal parts and accessories could
be hot.
Do not lock the movable guard in the open position.
Ensure that any retraction mechanism of the guard system operates
correctly.
For circular saws: do not use saw blades the body of which is thicker
or the set of which is smaller than the thickness of the riving knife.
Ensure that the riving knife is adjusted so that:
- The distance between the riving knife and the toothed rim of the saw
blade is not more than 5mm,
- The toothed rim does not extend more than 5mm beyond the lower
edge of the riving knife.
The riving knife should always be used except when plunging in the
middle of the work piece.
For circular saws for woodworking, the advice that if used in confined
areas (e.g. indoors), to either use a dust protection or a dust collection
equipment.
Warning for the charger:
1. Before using the tool, read the instruction book carefully.
2. Charger is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or water.
3. Do not charge non-rechargeable batteries.
4. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in
order to avoid a hazard.
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 can not be cut by the blade.

Do not reach underneath the work piece.
The guard cannot
protect you from the blade below the work piece.
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.
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.
Hold power tool by insulated grip surfaces 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 shock the operator.
When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide.
This
improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade
binding.
Always use blades with correct size and shape of arbor holes.
Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will
run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
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.
FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL SAWS
Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
- Kickback is a sudden reaction to pinched, bound or misalign saw
blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the work-
piece 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
