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.

11. 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.

12. Lower guard should 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.

13. 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.

14. ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with both hands.

NEVER place your hand or fingers behind the

saw. If kickback occurs, the saw could easily jump

backwards over your hand, leading to serious

personal injury.

15. Never force the saw. Push the saw forward at a

speed so that the blade cuts without slowing.

Forcing the saw can cause uneven cuts, loss of

accuracy, and possible kickback.

16. Use extra caution when cutting damp wood,

pressure treated lumber, or wood containing

knots. Adjust speed of cut to maintain smooth

advancement of tool without decrease in blade

speed.

17. Do not attempt to remove cut material when

blade is moving. Wait until blade stops before

grasping cut material. CAUTION: Blades coast

after turn off.

18. Avoid Cutting Nails. Inspect for and remove all

nails from lumber before cutting.

19. 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. 1

illustrates the RIGHT way to cut off the end of

a board, and Fig. 2 the WRONG way. If the

workpiece is short or small, clamp it down. DO

NOT TRY TO HOLD SHORT PIECES BY HAND!

20. Before setting the tool down after completing

a cut, be sure that the lower guard has closed

and the blade has come to a complete stop.

21. Never attempt to saw with the circular saw

held upside down in a vise. This is extremely

dangerous and can lead to serious accidents.

Our support team searches for useful product information and answers to frequently asked questions. If you find an inaccuracy in our frequently asked questions, please let us know by using our contact form.

How many millimeter does the saw need to protrude under the material I'm sawing? Verified

It's best to keep this at 3mm or more. When it is less, there is a chance the material will crumble or lead to an ugly result.

Do I need to wear hearing protection when using a circular saw? Verified

Yes you should. Although the amount of noise produced by a circular saw can vary between brands and models, long term exposure to loud noise can cause permanent hearing damage. That is why it is a good idea to wear hearing protection.

Can I store power tools in a shed or garage? Verified

In general, you can store power tools in a shed or garage, even if it sometimes freezes there. However, it is better for the lifespan of the power tool to store it in a dry place without major temperature fluctuations. In a shed or garage, differences in temperature can cause condensation to form, which can cause rust. In addition, tools that run on batteries last shorter and do not charge as well at very low temperatures. To be sure how your power tool needs to be stored, always thoroughly read the user manual.
