13. Never use saw blades made from high 

speed steel (HSS).

14. Always check walls, floors and ceilings to 

avoid hidden power cable and pipes.

15. After long working periods external metal 

parts and accessories could be hot.

16. Do not cut material containing asbestos.

17. Do not use metal or stone saw blades. Only 

use wood saw blades.

18. Do not use circular saw to cut tree limbs or 

logs.

19. Do not use any abrasive wheels.

Warning

a.  Keep hands away form 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.

b.  Do not reach underneath the work-

piece. 

The guard cannot protect you from 

the blade below the work-piece.

c.  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.

d. 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.

e.  Hold 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 shock the operator.

f.  When ripping always use a rip fence 

or straight edge guide. 

This improves 

the accuracy of cut and reduce the chance 

of blade binding.

g.  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, 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 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 back toward the operator;

-  If the blade becomes twisted or misalign 

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 with both hands 

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 work-

piece, center the saw blade in the 

kerf and check that saw teeth are not 

engaged into the material.

 If saw blade 

is binding, it may walk up or kickback from 

the work-piece as the saw is restarted.

d. Support large panels to minimize 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 

product narrow kerf causing excessive 

friction, blade binding and kickback.

f.  Blade depth and bevel adjusting
