CIRCULAR SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
Safety Warnings for Circular Saw
DANGER!
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 cannot be cut by the blade.
Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
The guard cannot protect you
from the blade below the workpiece.
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.
Never
hold the workpiece being cut in your hands or across your leg.
Secure
the workpiece 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 the insulated gripping surfaces, when performing
an operation where the cutting tool may run into hidden wiring.
CIRCULAR SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the 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 which match those specified, never modify a blade
or fitting.
Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw may run
eccentrically, causing loss of control or other damage.
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.
Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
– Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound 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 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 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.
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.
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.
When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre 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 workpiece as the saw is
restarted.
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. Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set
blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and
kickback.
Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure
before making cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause
binding and kickback.
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.
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, 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.
