Additional Safety Rules For Circular Saw - Worx WX425 Manual

Unsharpened or improperly set blades
produce narrow kerf causing excessive
friction, blade binding and kickback.
f) Blade depth and bevel adjusting
locking levers must be tight and
secure before making 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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAWS
WITH INNER PENDULUM GUARD
LOWER GUARD FUNCTION
a) Check lower guard for proper closing
before each use. Do not operate the
saw if lower guard does not move
freely and close instantly. Never
clamp or tie the lower guard into the
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.
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.
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 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.
d) 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.
