ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES: CIRCULAR SAW 

  Avoid prolonged contact with dust from 

power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, 

and other construction activities. Wear

protective clothing and wash exposed 

areas with soap and water.

Allowing dust to get into your mouth, 

eyes, or lay on the skin may promote 

absorption of harmful chemicals.

WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, 

and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, 

birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals 

are: lead from lead-based paints, crystalline silica from bricks and cement and 

other masonry products, arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber 

(CCA). Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this 

type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated 

area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that 

are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

CAUTION! Wear appropriate hearing protection during use. Under some conditions 

and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.

WARNING! Use of this tool can generate 

and/or disburse dust, which may cause 

serious and permanent respiratory or 

other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA 

approved respiratory protection appropri-

ate for the dust exposure. Direct particles 

away from face and body.

  Snagging the lower guard on a surface 

below the material being cut can momen-

tarily reduce operator control. The saw 

can lift partially out of the cut increasing 

the chance of blade twist. Ensure there is 

sufficient clearance under the workpiece.

  When necessary to raise lower guard

manually, use the retracting lever.

  KEEP THE BLADES CLEAN AND SHARP. 

Sharp blades minimize stalling and 

kickback. The use of dull and/or dirty 

blades can increase the saw loading 

causing the operator to push harder 

which promotes twisting..

  DANGER! LACERATION HAZARD.

KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING 

AREA. Keep hands away from blades. 

Never place hands in front of or behind 

the path of the blade while cutting. Do

not reach underneath work while blade 

is rotating. Do not attempt to remove 

cut material when blade is moving.

  SUPPORT LARGE PANELS. Large

panels must be supported as shown

(PIC 1) in this manual to minimize the

risk of blade pinching and kickback.

Material supported only at the ends

(PIC 2) will lead to blade pinching.

When cutting operation requires the

resting of the saw on the workpiece, the

saw shall be rested on the larger por-

tion and the smaller piece cut off.

  USE ONLY CORRECT BLADES AND BLADE 

ASSEMBLY COMPONENTS WHEN MOUNT-

ING BLADES. Do not use blades with 

incorrect size holes. Never use defective 

or incorrect blade washers or bolts. Follow 

blade assembly procedures.
