GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

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.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep the work area clean and well-lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
Power tools create sparks that may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power to ol.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condition s.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
The use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply.
The use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard hats, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to a power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn on an d off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/ or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the power tool operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
PRECAUTION
Keep children and infi rm persons away. When not in use, tools should be stored out of reach of children and infi rm persons.

CIRCULAR SAW SAFETY WARNINGS

Cutting procedures
a)   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.
b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, 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 could give the operator an electric shock.
f) When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight-edge guid e.
This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
g) Always use blades with the correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbor holes.
Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolts.
The blade washers and bolts 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.
a) Maintain a fi rm 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 backward, but kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.
b) When the 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.
c) When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center the saw blade in the kerf and check those saw teeth are not engaged in the material.
If the saw blade is binding, it may walk up or kick back from the workpiece as the saw is restarted.
d) Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade pinching and kickba ck.
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.
e) Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerfs causing excessive friction, blade binding, and kickback.
f) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making a cut.
If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.
g) 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
a) 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 the cut.
b) Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the guard and the spring are not operating properly, they must be serviced before use.
The lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
c) Lower guard may be retracted manually only for special cuts such as “plunge cuts” and “compound cuts”.
Raise the lower guard by retracting the 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.
d) Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing the saw down on the bench or floor.
An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backward, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after the switch is released.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Use only blade diameter specifi ed on the machine.

2. Do not use any abrasive wheel.

3. Do not use saw blades that are deformed or cracked.

4. Do not use saw blades made of high-speed steel.

5. Do not use saw blades that do not comply with the characteristics specifi ed in these instructions.

6. Do not stop the saw blades by lateral pressure on the disc.

7. Always keep the saw blades sharp.

8. Ensure that the lower guard moves smoothly and freely.

9. Never use the circular saw with its lower guard fixed in the open position.

10. Ensure that the retraction mechanism of the guard system operates correctly.

11. Wear earplugs to protect your ears during the operation.

12. Never operate the circular saw with the saw blade turned upward or to the side.

13. Ensure that the material is free of foreign matters such as nails.

14. The saw blade range should be from 165 mm to 162 mm.

15. Disconnect the plug from the receptacle before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.

16. Be careful of brake kickback. This circular saw features an electric brake that functions when the switch is released. As there is some kickback when the brake functions, be sure to hold the main body securely.

17. Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms to the power requirements specifi ed on the product nameplate.

18. Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position. If the plug is connected to a receptacle while the power switch is in the ON position, the power tool will start operating immediately, which could cause a serious accident.

19. When the work area is removed from the power source, use an extension cord of sufficient thickness and rated capacity. The extension cord should be kept as short as
    practicable.

20. Avoid cutting in the state where the base has floated up from the material. When the 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.

21. Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade pinching and KICKBACK. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight (Fig. 3). Supports must be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel as shown in Fig. 2. To minimize the risk of blade pinching and kickback. When cutting operation requires the resting of the saw on the workpiece, the saw shall be rested on the larger portion and the smaller piece cut off.

22. Use extra caution when making a “Pocket Cut” into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause KICKBACK. NEVER place your hand or fi ngers behind the saw (Fig. 4). If kickback occurs, the saw could easily jump backward over your hand, possibly causing severe injury.

23. WARNING: It is important to support the workpiece properly and to hold the saw firmly to prevent loss of control which could cause personal injury. Fig. 5 illustrates the typical hand support of the saw.

24. Place the wider portion of the saw base on that part of the workpiece which is solidly supported, not on the section that will fall off when the cut is made. As examples, Fig. 6 illustrates the RIGHT way to cut off the end of the board, and Fig. 7 the WRONG way. If the workpiece is short or small, the clamp is down. DON’T TRY TO HOLD SHORT PLACES BY HAND!

25. Never attempt to saw with the circular saw held upside down in a vise. This is extremely dangerous and can lead to serious accidents (Fig. 8).

26. Should the lever remain loosened, it will create a very hazardous situation. Always thoroughly clamp it. (Fig. 12)

27. It is very hazardous to allow the wing bolt to remain loosened. Always thoroughly clamp it. (Fig. 23)

28. Prior to the cutting operation, make sure the material you are going to cut. If the material to be cut is expected to generate harmful/toxic dust, make sure the dust bag or appropriate dust extraction system is connected to the dust outlet tightly.
    Wear the dust mask additionally, if available.
    ○ Before starting to saw, confi rm that the saw blade has attained full-speed revolution.
    ○ Should the saw blade stop or make an abnormal noise while operating, promptly turn OFF the switch.
    ○ Always take care in preventing the power cord from coming near to the revolving saw blade.
    ○ Using the circular saw with the saw blade facing upwards or sideways is very hazardous. Such uncommon applications should be avoided.
    ○ When cutting materials, always wear protective glasses.
    ○ When finished with a job, pull out the plug from the receptacle.

29. After having attached the saw blade, reconfi rm that the lock lever is firmly secured in the prescribed position.

30. Do not expose directly your eye to the light by looking into the light.
    If your eye is continuously exposed to light, your eye will be hurt.
