18. Since the saw blade will extend beyond the lower surface
of the lumber, place the lumber on a workbench 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 hazardous operation.
(Fig. 2)
To avoid possible accident, always ensure that the
portion of lumber remaining after cutting is securely
anchored or held in position.
19. Should lever remain loosened, it will create a very
hazardous situation. Always thoroughly clamp it. (Fig. 3)
20. It is very hazardous to allow Inclined lever to remain
loosened. Always thoroughly clamp it. (Fig. 4)
21. Prior to cutting operation, make sure the material you
are going to cut. If the material to be cut is expected to
generate harmful / toxic dusts, make sure the dust bag
or appropriate dust extraction system is connected with
dust outlet tightly.
Wear the dust mask additionally.
○ Before starting to saw, confi rm that the saw blade
has attained full-speed revolution.
○ Should the saw blade stop or make an abnormal
noise while operating, promptly turn OFF the switch.
○ Always take care in preventing the power cord from
coming near to the revolving saw blade.
○ Using the circular saw with the saw blade facing
upwards or sideways is very hazardous. Such
uncommon applications should be avoided.
○ When cutting materials, always wear protective
glasses.
○ When fi nished with a job, pull out the plug from the
receptacle.
22. After having attached the saw blade, reconfi rm that the
lock lever is fi rmly secured in the prescribed position.
23. Do not use the tool with only the blower function.
24. Check that there are no nicks or scratches in the cord.
25. Check the exterior and ensure that there is no damage.
26. Use a saw blade with a displayed rotational speed equal
to or higher than the rotational speed of the tool.
27. Use a saw blade that suits each diff erent cutting material.
