SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR CIRCULAR SAWS
Safety instructions for all saws
DANGER: Keep hands away from the cutting area and the blade. Keep one hand on the
main handle and the other hand on the auxiliary handle or the motor housing. If both hands
are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.
a) Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade
below the workpiece.
b) 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.
c) Never hold the piece 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, and loss of control.
d) Hold power tools by the 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.
e) When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight-edge guide. This improves the
accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
f ) Always use blades with arbor holes of the correct size and shape (diamond versus
round). Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically,
causing loss of control.
g) Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt
were specially designed for your saw for optimum performance and safe of operation.
