When tool is used outdoor, only use an extension cable that
is suitable for outdoor use and which is marked for this specific
use. Keep it away from the working area, from damp, wet or oily
surfaces and away from heat and flammable materials.
•
Avoid any accidental starting: make sure that the power
switch (if present) is in the «off» position, before plugging the
tool in.
•
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool
on.

dangerous and must be repaired.
WARNING
During the use of power tools, some dust containing chemicals
known to cause cancer, may occur. Some 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 and other dangerous products. If
dust is present, your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure
to these chemicals, any time you do pulverulent operations,
work in a well ventilated area and work with approved safety
equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.

Specific safety rules
•
Make sure that all devices mounted on the saw blade are in
perfect working order.
•
Make sure that the saw blade is set correctly.
•
Do not use steel HSS blades which do not meet the
specifications stated in this manual.
•
Before sawing, remove all nails and other metal objects
from the workpiece.
•
Never start sawing before the saw reaches its full speed.
•
The circular saw may be removed from the workplace only
after it is switched off and the cutting blade has stopped.
•
Never try to slow the saw blade down by exerting pressure
on the side.
•
Make sure that the diameter of the internal flange lug
corresponds with the internal hole of the saw blade.
•
Use only sharp, flawless saw blades. Replace immediately
cracked, bent or dull saw blades.
•
Direction of the arrow on the cutting blade must always
match the direction of the arrow on the circular saw protective
case.
•
Any removal of circular saw guard devices before sawing is
forbidden.
•
While sawing small workpieces that are too light to be
securely positioned under their own weight, clamping devices
must be used.
•
Any
sawing
of
asbestos-containing
forbidden.
•
Under no circumstances do not touch the rotating cutting
blade with your hands.
•
Do not operate the circular saw overhead.
•
Do not block the movable protective case, do not allow it
to become clogged with sawdust. Should it be the case, please
stop the circular saw and do not resume its operation until the
malfunction is fixed.
•
Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep
your second hand on auxiliary handle, or motor housing.

If blade get jammed, 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.
Unpacking
When unpacking, check to make sure that all components are
included. Refer to the drawings on this manual. If any parts are
missing or broken, please call IVT assistance center.
Causes and operator prevention of the
kickback
1.
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or
misaligned saw blade, causing the uncontrolled saw to lift up
and out of the work piece toward the operator.
2.
When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerfs
closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the
unit rapidly back toward the operator.
3.
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 kerfs and
jump back toward the operator.
4.
Kickback is the result of the tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below:
•
Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and
position your body and arms to allow you to resist kickback
forces, which can be controlled by the operator by taking proper
precautions.
•
When the blade is binding or interrupting a cut for any
reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the
