8 Cordless Circular Saw Operator's Manual
CAUTION
WHEN BLADE IS BINDING, 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. Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of
blade binding.
WHEN STARTING A SAW IN THE WORKPIECE, CENTER THE SAW BLADE IN THE KERF
AND CHECK THAT THE TEETH ARE NOT ENGAGED IN THE MATERIAL. If the saw blade is
binding, it may walk up or KICKBACK from the workpiece as the saw is restarted.
SUPPORT LARGE PANELS TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF BLADE PINCHING AND KICKBACK.
Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the panel on
both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel.
DO NOT USE DULL OR DAMAGED BLADE. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce
narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding, and KICKBACK.
BLADE DEPTH AND BEVEL ADJUSTING LOCKING LEVERS MUST BE TIGHT AND SECURE
BEFORE MAKING CUT. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it will cause binding and
KICKBACK.
USE EXTRA CAUTION WHEN MAKING A "POCKET CUT" INTO EXISTING WALLS OR
OTHER BLIND AREAS. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause KICKBACK.
Hold tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal
parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
NEVER TOUCH MOVING PARTS. Never place your hands, fingers or other body parts near the
tool's moving parts.
