R 18 CSBL-0 Cordless Circular Saw

Important! It is essential that you read the instructions in this manual before assembling, maintaining and operating the product.

Subject to technical modification
Safety, performance, and dependability have been given top priority in the design of your cordless circular saw.

INTENDED USE

The product is intended to be used only by adults who have read and understood the instructions and warnings in this manual, and can be  considered responsible for their actions.
The saw is designed for rip cross cutting of wood up to a maximum depth of 60mm. It can make straight or bevelled cuts between 0 and 56 degrees. It is to be used with the base of the tool in contact with the workpiece. It should only be used in a dry, well lit and well ventilated area. The circular  saw is designed for handheld use. It is not to be mounted onto a workbench unless specific instructions about how to do this are given by the  manufacturer of the saw. Do not use for cutting metal or masonry. Do not use the product in any way other than those stated for intended use. Use  of the product for operations different from intended could result in a hazardous situation.
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions 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 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.

• 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 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, or loss of control.

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only 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 eccentrically, 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, 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 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

• The dust produced when using the product may be harmful to your health, inflammable, or explosive.
  Do not inhale the dust. Use a dust extraction system, and wear a suitable dust protection mask. Remove deposited dust thoroughly, e.g., with a  brush and vacuum cleaner.

• Do not use any abrasive wheels.

• Use only blades specified in this manual, complying with EN 847-1.

• Avoid overheating the blade tips. Do not use dull or damaged blades. Do not force the tool.

• Do not use blades of larger or smaller diameter than recommended.

• Wear ear protection.

• Clamp workpiece with a clamping device.
  Unclamped workpieces can cause severe injury and damage.

• Thoroughly check the material to be cut, particularly when using recycled wood, for foreign objects such as nails, screws, and staples. If nails,  screws, staples or similar items contact the blade whilst cutting, the saw will be damaged and severe injury to the operator or others may occur.

• Do not touch the saw blade immediately after sawing. The saw blade gets hot during sawing.

TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES
Transport the battery in accordance with local and national provisions and regulations.
Follow all special requirements on packaging and labelling when transporting batteries by a third party. Ensure that no batteries can come in contact  with other batteries or conductive materials while in transport by protecting exposed connectors with insulating, non-conductive caps or tape. Do  not transport batteries that are cracked or leaking. Check with the forwarding company for further advice.

RESIDUAL RISKS

Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk factors. The following hazards may arise and the operator should pay special attention to avoid the following:

• Injury caused by kickback
  – Read and understand the information in this manual.

• Injury caused by vibration
  – Limit exposure. See Risk Reduction.

• Injury caused by dust
  – Wear eye protection at all times. Wear appropriate dust mask with suitable filters that can protect against particles from the material being  worked on.
  Do not eat, drink, or smoke in the work area. Ensure adequate ventilation.

• Electric shock
  – The blade may contact hidden wiring causing parts of the product to become live. Always hold the product by the designated handles and  take care when blind-cutting into walls and floors where cables may be hidden.
  NOTE: When working on walls, ceilings, or floors, take care to avoid electric cables and gas or water pipes.

• Injury from contact with the cutting blade
  – The blades are sharp and will become hot during use. Wear gloves when changing blades. Keep hands away from the cutting area at all times.  Never hold workpiece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Clamp the work piece whenever possible.

RISK REDUCTION

It has been reported that vibrations from handheld tools may contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling, numbness, and blanching of the fingers, usually apparent upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to cold and  dampness, diet, smoking, and work practices are all thought to contribute to the development of these symptoms. There are measures that can be  taken by the operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:

• Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating the unit, wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists warm. It is reported that cold  weather is a major factor contributing to Raynaud’s Syndrome.
• After each period of operation, exercise to increase blood circulation.
• Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of exposure per day.

If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition, immediately discontinue use and see your doctor about these symptoms.
WARNING Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by prolonged use of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods, ensure you take regular breaks.

WARNING
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and may  be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The declared vibration emission level  represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained,  the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but  not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to  protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work  patterns.
