ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL
SAWS WITH RIVING KNIFE
a) Use the appropriate riving knife for the blade being
used.
For the riving knife to work, it must be thicker than
the body of the blade but thinner than the tooth
set of the blade.
b) Adjust the riving knife as described in this instruction
manual.
Incorrect spacing, positioning and alignment can
make the riving knife ineffective in preventing
kickback.
c) Always use the riving knife except when plunge
cutting.
Riving knife must be replaced after plunge cutting.
Riving knife causes interference during plunge
cutting and can create kickback.
d) For the riving knife to work, it must be engaged in
the workpiece.
The riving knife is ineffective in preventing kickback
during short cuts.
e) Do not operate the saw if riving knife is bent.
Even a light interference can slow the closing rate
of a guard.

PRECAUTIONS ON USING CIRCULAR SAW
1. Do not use saw blades which are deformed or cracked.
2. Do not use saw blades made of high speed steel.
3. Do not use saw blades which do not comply with the
characteristics specified in these instructions.
4. Do not stop the saw blades by lateral pressure on the
disc.
5. Always keep the saw blades sharp.
6. Ensure that the safety cover moves smoothly and
freely.
7. Never use the circular saw which its safely cover fixed
in the open position.
8. Ensure that the retraction mechanism of the guard
system operates correctly.
9. The saw blades body must be thinner than the riving
knife and the width of cut, or kerf (with teeth set) must
be greater than the thickness of the riving knife.
10. Never operate the circular saw with the saw blade
turned upward or to the side.
11. Ensure that the material is free of foreign matter such
as nails.

Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms
to the power requirements specified on the product
nameplate.
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.
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.
Since the saw blade will extend beyond the lower
surface of the lumber, place the lumber on a work-
bench when cutting. If a square block is utilized as a
workbench, select level ground to ensure it is properly
stabilized. An unstable workbench will result in haz-
ardous operation.
