[. . . ] Before using the CIRCULAR SAW, please read the manual carefully, especially the safety instructions. Keep this manual for future reference. GENERAL SAFETY RULES WARNING!Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "Power Tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool. [. . . ] Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. , in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from intended could result in a hazardous situation. SERVICE Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, free running of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service centre unless otherwise indicated in this instruction manual. Have defective switches replaced by an authorized 2 service centre. Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. PARTICULAR REQUIREMENTS FOR CIRCULAR SAWS Not to use any abrasive wheels Ensure that the riving knife is adjusted so that the distance between the riving knife and the rim of the blade is not more than 5mm, and the rim of the blade does not extend more than 5mm beymond the lowest edge of the riving knife. Safety instructions for all saws DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle or motor housing. If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade. Support large panels to minimise 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. 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 a cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback. Use extra caution when making a "plunge cut" into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback. 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. [. . . ] To adjust the depth of cut, loosen the depth adjustment knob (12). Slide the base plate (13) to the desired depth using the depth adjustment lug (21) and retighten the knob securely. The depth of cut (14) can be determined by the depth scale (15) or by measuring the distance by which the blade protrudes from the base plate. 8 and 9) MAINTENANCE After use, check the tool to make sure that it is in top condition.
