Noise Information

Measured values were determined according to EN 62841. Typically, the A-weighted noise levels of the tool are:

  • Sound pressure level / Uncertainty LpA=90.5 dB (A) / KpA=3 dB(A)
  • Sound power level / Uncertainty LWA=101.5 dB (A) / KWA=3 dB(A)

Wear ear protection!

Vibration Information

Vibration total values (triaxial vector sum) determined according to EN 62841. Vibration emission value / Uncertainty

  • Cutting board ah=2.2 m/s2 / K=1.5 m/s2

WARNING!

The declared vibration total values and the declared noise emission values given in this instruction manual have been measured in accordance with a standardized test and may be used to compare one tool with another. They may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The declared vibration and noise emission values represent the main applications of the tool. However, if the tool is used for different applications, used with different accessories, or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may differ. These conditions may significantly increase the exposure levels over the total working period. An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should take into account the times when the tool is turned off or when it is running idle. These conditions may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration and noise, such as maintaining the tool and the accessories, keeping the hands warm (in case of vibration), and organizing Work patterns.

WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations, and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

CIRCULAR SAW SAFETY WARNINGS

Cutting procedures

  • DANGER : Keep hands away from the cutting area and the blade.
  • Keep your second hand on the 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 in your hands or across your leg while cutting. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform. It is important to support the work properly tO minimise body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
  • Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
  • 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 with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run of-centre, causing loss of Control.
  • 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.
  • Kickback causes and related warnings kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, jammed 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 jammed 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 vwith 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, it 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 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 so that the saw teeth are not engaged into the material.
  • If a saw blade binds, 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 the 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 the lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if the lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position. If the 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.
  • 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.
  • The lower guard may be retracted manually only for special cuts such as “plunge cuts” and “compound cuts”. Raise the lower guard by the retracting handle and as soon as the 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 the 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 AND wORKING INSTRUCTIONS

  • Do not use any abrasive wheels.
  • Use only blade diameter(s) in accordance with the markings.
  • Identify the correct saw blade to be used for the material to be cut.
  • Use only saw blades that are marked with a speed equal or higher than the speed marked on the tool.
  • Use only saw blades recommended by the manufacturer, which conform to EN 847-1, if intended for wood and analogous materials.
  • Wear a dust mask.
  • Clamp the workpiece with a clamping device. Unclamped workpieces can cause severe injury and damage.
  • Dirty blade guards may limit proper operation of the product, resúlting in serious personal injury. Clean the blade guards with compressed air to ensure there is no accumulation of saw dust.
  • Wear proper eye and respiratory protection.
  • Raise the lower guard by the lever and ensure that the lower guard returns to the original position. If the lower guard does not function properly. Stop using the product and have it repaired.
  • The product will restart automatically if stalled. Turn off the product immediately if it stalls. Do not turn on the product again while it is still stalled, as doing so could trigger a sudden recoil with a high reactive force. Determine why the product stalled and rectify this, paying heed to the safety instructions.
  • Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the product.
