work to be performed.

 Use of the power tool for 

operations different from those intended could result 
in a hazardous situation. 

 h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean 

and free from oil and grease.

 Slippery handles and 

grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and 
control of the tool in unexpected situations. 

5) Service
a)  Have your power tool serviced by a qualified 

repair person using only identical replacement 
parts. 

This will ensure that the safety of the power 

tool is maintained.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR 
ALL SAWS

Cutting procedures
a)    

   DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting  

 

area and the blade. 

If both hands are holding 

the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.

b)   Do not reach underneath the workpiece.

 The  

guard cannot protect you from the blade below the 
workpiece.

c)   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.

d)   Never hold the workpiece in your hands or 

across your leg while cutting. Secure the 
workpiece to a stable platform.

 It is important to 

support the work properly to minimise body exposure, 
blade binding, or loss of control.

e)   Hold the power tool by insulated gripping 

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 could 
give the operator an electric shock.

f)   When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight 

edge guide. 

This improves the accuracy of cut and 

reduces the chance of blade binding.

g)   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 off-centre, causing loss of control.

h)   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

Kickback causes and related warnings

— kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, jammed 
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 jammed 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.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect 
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided 
by taking proper precautions as given below.

a)   Maintain a firm grip on the saw and position 

your arms to resist kickback forces. Position 
your body to either side of the blade, but not in 
line with the blade. 

Kickback could cause the saw to 

jump backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled 
by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.

b)   When blade is binding, or when interrupting a 

cut for any reason, release the trigger and hold 
the saw motionless in the material until the 
blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt 
to remove the saw from the work or pull the 
saw backward while the blade is in motion or 
kickback may occur. 

Investigate and take corrective 

actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.

c)   When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre 

the saw blade in the kerf so that the saw teeth 
are not engaged into the material. 

If a saw blade 

binds, it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as 
the saw is restarted.

d)  Support large panels to minimise the risk of 

blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend 
to sag under their own weight.

 Supports must be 

placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of 
cut and near the edge of the panel.

e)   Do not use dull or damaged blades.

Unsharpened 

or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing 
excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.

f)   Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers 

must be tight and secure before making the cut. 

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

g)   Use extra caution when sawing into existing 

walls or other blind areas. 

The protruding blade 

may cut objects that can cause kickback.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR 
CIRCULAR SAW WITH INNER 
PENDULUM GUARD

 Lower guard function
a)   Check the lower guard for proper closing before 

each use. Do not operate the saw if the lower 
guard does not move freely and close instantly. 
Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open 
position. If the saw is accidentally dropped, the 
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 depths of cut.

b)   Check the operation of the lower guard spring. 

If the guard and the spring are not operating
