Safety warnings for circular saws

Kickback
Kickback is the sudden and strong movement the tool experiences outwards from the work piece that can lead the operator to lose control or even cause him injuries. Usually this happens when the cutting disc is stuck into the piece or due to an inefficient operation. To avoid kickback the following caution measures should be used:

• Use perfectly maintained cutting blades. Double-check blades are properly mounted. Badly mounted, bent, damaged blades or with worn or dull teeth have a tendency to get stuck into the material causing kickback.
• When operating the tool, hold it firmly setting one hand on the handle and the other hand on the auxiliary handle. Always use both hands. Keep good balance and footing to be able to resist the force of possible kickback.
• To make cuts align the disc with the cut axle and wait for the disc to reach its highest speed before starting to cut. Do not try to cut setting the disc teeth on top of the work piece. It could cause kickback.
• To restart working inside the cut, center the disc into the cut and double-check the blades are not buried into the material.
• If while operating the tool you notice the disc is bending or the cut is interrupted, release the switch and hold the tool inside the work piece until the disc comes to a complete stop. Do not try to remove the disc while still moving. This could cause kickback.
• To minimize the risk of having the disc stuck and cause kickback, before cutting a wood piece remove all the nails. Damp, warped wood or chipboard needs special attention during the cut. When using large wood planks use supports close to both sides of the cutting line to avoid the plank to warp, close the cut and trap the disc. Wood resin and gum hardened on the disc make the saw run slow. Use resin and gum remover, hot water or kerosene to remove buildup. DO NOT use gasoline.
• Use extreme care when making a pocket cut on wall or blind spots. The disc may get into contact with hidden objects and cause kickback.
• While operating the tool, do not set your hand or body aligned with the cut axis, because if kickback sets there is a severe injury hazard.
• Before starting a cut, the levers to adjust cutting depth and bevel should be tight and secured. If they move during the cut, they may cause the disc to bend and cause kickback. Setting excessive cutting depth increases the load on the unit and the disc might bend inside the cut. It also increases the possibility that the cut closes and increases the available area on top of the cutting disc.

General measures

DANGER

• Move away your hands from the cutting area and the cutting disc. To prevent from accidental injury and loosing control, firmly hold the tool with both hands by the handle and the auxiliary handle.

WARNING

• The accidental contact with a rotating cutting disc may cause severe personal injury.

DANGER

• NEVER hold the work piece to cut with your hands or on top of your leg. Hold the work piece adequately to avoid your body making contact with the cutting disc, and to prevent the disc from bending or loosing control of the tool or the work piece.

DANGER

• Do not try to remove debris material when the disc is running.

WARNING

• Remember that the guards do not protect you from the moving disc below the work piece. Therefore never squat or try to put your hand below the work piece when the machine is running.

CAUTION

• Double-check retractable guard and the spring are working properly before each time you use the tool. If the guard is not moving freely or is not closing instantly, service the machine.

WARNING

• Do not bring the disc near your body when carrying the tool. If it accidentally starts the retractable guard may open and make contact with your clothes.

CAUTION

• Operating the tools holding it by the insulated parts prevents the user from getting and electrical, discharge if the disc makes contact with hidden cabling.
• **** ALWAYS keep the electric supply cord away from the cutting area. The electric supply cord SHALL NEVER hang on top of the work piece when making the cut.
• Wear always safety glasses with side protection. If dust is produced wear also a dust mask.

Retractable guard

Before each use double-check if the retractable guard and the spring are working correctly. If the guard is not moving freely or not closing instantaneously service them before further operation with the tool.
The retractable guard could work slowly because of damaged parts, gummy deposits or debris accumulation. To prevent from this possibility clean regularly the insides of both guards and the disc axis. Use kerosene or compressed air. Before cleaning disconnect the machine and remove the cutting blades.
The retractable guard can be opened manually. Make this only when changing blades and when making cuts such as cut marking or combined cut. Using the guard lever open the retractable guard. As soon as the disc gets into the material, release the lever. For any other type of cuts the guard should operate automatically. Never leave the retractable guard in the open position.
The retractable guard might bend due to a stroke or if it falls. Before operating the tool, verify it moves freely in every angle and cutting depths. The guard should not ouch the cutting disc or any other part of the tool.
WARNING
Verify the retractable guard covers the disc before setting the saw on a bench or on the floor. A disc rotating due to inertia could cause the saw to move backwards cutting whatever objects in its way. Verify the disc stops moving after turning off the tool.
WARNING
Remember that the guards do not protect you from the moving disc below the work piece. Never squat or put your hand below the work piece when the tool is running..
Toxic materials
Dust coming from some materials have chemical substances known to cause cancer, birth and reproductive defects. Some of these chemical substances are:

1. Lead in lead-based paint.
2. Arsenic and Chromium in wood treated with chemical substances.
3. The risk involved due to exposure to these substances varies with the frequency this type of job is made. To reduce being exposed to the chemicals work in well-ventilated areas, use the adequate safety equipment, such as dust-mask specifically designed to filter microscopic particles.

DANGER
Keep your hands away from the cutting area and the cutting blade.
Keep the supporting hand on the auxiliary handle or engine cover
If both hands hold the saw, they cannot be cut by the cutting blade.
Adjust the depth of the cut to the thickness of the workpiece.
Less than one complete tooth should be seen from the bottom of the workpiece.
Never hold the piece you are going to cut with your hands or on your legs when cutting. Make sure the workpiece is on a stable platform (table).
It is important to have proper support during work to minimize body exposure, deformation of the cutting blade, or loss of control.
Always use cutting blades with the correct shape and size for adjustment with the shaft holes.
The cutting blades that do not match the hole of the saw shaft move eccentrically which causes a loss of control.
Never use flanges or bolts that are damaged or not suitable for the cutting blade.
Flanges and bolts are designed specifically for the saw, for optimal performance and safe operation.

Parts

Saw Dust Ejector.
Saw dust is blown through the back and sideways, as far away as possible from the operator.
The motor cooling air is ejected through the housing and it also helps ejecting saw dust.
The saw dust ejector can be used attached to an external suction unit.

The retractable guard opens automatically when the blade gets inside the work piece. When the cut is finished, the retractable guard is closed to cover the blade.| The saw has the power you need. It cools down through and extra-large fan. The use may overheat the motor! Allow the motor to cool down setting the no load speed.
