Additional safety instructions for circular saws with pendulum
guard-Low guard function
a.
Check the lower guard for proper closing before each
use
.
Do not operate the saw if the lower guard does not
move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the
lower guard into the open position.
If the saw is accidentally
dropped, the 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.
The lower guard may operate sluggishly
due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
c.
The lower guard may be retracted manually only for special
cuts such as “plunge cuts” and “compound cuts.” Raise
the lower guard by retracting the blade guard lever and
as soon as the 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 the 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.
Saw blade safety warnings
To avoid overheating the blade tips:
•
Use only blades recommended which comform to EN847-1.
