Intended use
The tool is intended for performing lengthways and
crossways straight cuts and mitre cuts with angles in
wood while in firm contact with the workpiece.
Power supply
The tool should be connected only to a power supply of
the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can
only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They are
double-insulated and can, therefore, also be used from

CIRCULAR SAW SAFETY WARNINGS

Cutting procedures
1. DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area
and the blade. Keep your second hand on auxil-
ENE028-1
iary handle, or motor housing. If both hands are
holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.
2. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The
guard cannot protect you from the blade below the
workpiece.
3. Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the
ENF002-2
workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth
should be visible below the workpiece.
4. Never hold the workpiece in your hands or
across your leg while cutting. Secure the work-
piece to a stable platform. It is important to sup-
port the work properly to minimise body exposure,
blade binding, or loss of control. (Fig. 1)
5. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping sur-
GEA010-2
faces, when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Contact with a "live" wire will also make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
6. When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight
edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and
reduces the chance of blade binding.
7. Always use blades with correct size and shape
(diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades
that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw
will run off-centre, causing loss of control.
8. Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers
or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were specially
designed for your saw, for optimum performance and
safety of operation.
