CIRCULAR SAW PRECAUTIONS
DANGER! When the tool is in operation, keep hands away from the saw
blade and the area it is being applied to. Failure to follow this warning will
result in amputation, serious personal injury or death.
1.
Always make sure the circular saw is clean before using.
2. Always handle the circular saw blade with care when mounting or
removing it.
3.
Be alert at all times, especially during repetitive, monotonous operations.
4.
Always be aware of the position of your hands relative to the blade.
Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden slip could cause a hand
to move into the blade.
5.
Never reach behind or beneath the blade.
6. Do not use this saw with the saw held upside down in a vise. The saw
is not designed for such use and cannot be used safely in that position.
7.
Do not use to cut logs, tree limbs, or uneven lumber.
KICKBACK PRECAUTIONS
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged cutting accessory.
The tool kicks out and away from the workpiece while the cutting accessory
is still active. This can inflict a serious injury on the user or a bystander.
Kickback can also damage the tool or workpiece.
Kickback can be avoided by taking proper precautions:
1.
Maintain a firm grip on the tool and position your body and arms to
allow you to resist a kickback. Kickback will propel the tool in the
direction opposite to the cutting accessory’s teeth or direction of
rotation. A snagged rotary cutting bit may pull the tool out of the grasp
of the user.
2. If kickback occurs:
a.
The cutting accessory may pass over a body part, causing a
seriously injury;
b. A rotary bit may wrench the user’s arm causing muscle or joint
injuries; and
c.
The tool may strike bystanders.
3.
Use clamps or a vice to hold down smaller workpieces.
4.
Use special care when working on corners, sharp edges or flexible
material. These workpieces have a tendency to snag the cutting accessory.
