Circular Saw
In this manner you do not have sufficient
control over the power tool.
►Use suitable detectors to determine if
utility lines are hidden in the work area
or call the local utility company for as-
sistance. Contact with electric lines can
lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a
gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating
a water line causes property damage or
may cause an electric shock.
►Do not operate the power tool station-
ary. It is not designed for operation with a
saw table.
►Do not use high speed steel (HSS) saw
blades. Such saw blades can easily break.
►Do not saw ferrous metals. Red hot
chips can ignite the dust extraction.
►When working with the machine, always
hold it firmly with both hands and pro-
vide for a secure stance. The power tool
is guided more secure with both hands.
►Secure the workpiece. A workpiece
clamped with clamping devices or in a vice
is held more secure than by hand.
►Always wait until the machine has
come to a complete stop before placing
it down. The tool insert can jam and lead
to loss of control over the power tool.
►Products sold in GB only: Your product
is fitted with a BS 1363/A approved electric
plug with internal fuse (ASTA approved to
BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket out-
lets, it should be cut off and an appropriate
plug fitted in its place by an authorised cus-
tomer service agent. The replacement plug
should have the same fuse rating as the origi-
nal plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to
avoid a possible shock hazard and should
never be inserted into a mains socket else-
where.
Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a
residual current
device (RCD) with a rated residual current of
30 mA or less.
Product Description and Specifi-
cations
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 lock-
ing 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 sawing into
existing walls or other blind areas. The
protruding blade may cut objects that can
cause kickback.
Lower guard function
►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, 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.
►Check the operation of the lower guard
spring. If the guard and the spring are
not operating properly, they must be
serviced before use. Lower guard may
operate sluggishly due to damaged parts,
gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
►Lower guard may be retracted manually
only for special cuts such as “plunge
cuts” and “compound cuts”. Raise lower
guard by retracting handle and as soon as
blade enters the material, the lower guard
must be released. For all other sawing, the
lower guard should operate automatically.
►Always observe that the lower guard is
covering the blade before placing saw
down on bench or floor. An unprotected,
coasting blade will cause the saw to walk
backwards, cutting whatever is in its path.
Be aware of the time it takes for the blade
to stop after switch is released.
Additional safety warnings
►Do not reach into the chip ejector with
your hands. They could be injured by ro-
tating parts.
►Do not work overhead with the saw.
Read all safety warnings and all in-
structions. Failure to follow the warn-
ings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Intended Use

crossways cutting of wood with straight cut-
