[. . . ] 2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. [. . . ] g) 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 those intended could result in a hazardous situation. 5) SERVICE a) 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. 8 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CIRCULAR SAWS DANGER G Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade; keep your second hand on front handle (if both hands are holding the saw, they can not be cut by the blade) G Do not reach underneath the workpiece (the guard cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece) G Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece (less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the workpiece) G Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg (it is important to support the work properly to minimise body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control) G Hold tool 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 also make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator) G When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide (this improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance for blade binding) G Always use blades with correct size and shape of arbor holes (diamond or round) (blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control) G Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolts (the blade washers and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation) KICKBACK - CAUSES G Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator G When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator G If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the top surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back towards operator KICKBACK - OPERATOR PREVENTION Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below G Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and position your arms to resist kickback forces; position your body to either side of the blade, but not in line with the blade (kickback could cause the saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken) G 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 backwards while the blade is in motion or kickback may occur (investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding; avoid cutting nails or screws) When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth are not engaged into the material (if saw blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw is restarted) G 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) G Do not use a dull or damaged blade (unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback) G Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making cut (if blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback) G 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) WARNING G Check lower guard for proper closing before each use G Do not operate the saw if lower guard does not move freely and close instantly G Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position G If saw is accidentally dropped, 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 G Check the operation of the lower guard spring; if the guard and the spring are not operating properly, they must be serviced before use (lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris) G Lower guard should be retracted manually only for special cuts such as plunge cuts and compound cuts; raise lower guard by retracting handle and as soon as blade enters the material, the lower guard must be released (for all other sawing, the lower guard should operate automatically) G Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing 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) G Avoid damage that can be caused by screws, nails and other elements in your workpiece; remove them before you start cutting G When you put away the tool, switch off the motor and ensure that all moving parts have come to a complete standstill G Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords with a capacity of 16 Amps (U. K. 13 Amps) G In case of jamming or electrical or mechanical malfunction, immediately switch off the tool and disconnect the plug G 9 SKIL can assure flawless functioning of the tool only when original accessories are used G Use only accessories with an allowable speed matching at least the highest no-load speed of the tool G Never use the tool without the original protection guard system G This tool should not be used by people under the age of 16 years G The noise level when working can exceed 85 dB(A); wear ear protection G If the cord is damaged or cut through while working, do not touch the cord, but immediately disconnect the plug G Never use tool when cord is damaged; have it replaced by a qualified person G Always check that the supply voltage is the same as the voltage indicated on the nameplate of the tool (tools with a rating of 230V or 240V can also be connected to a 220V supply) G This tool is not suitable for wet cutting G After switching off your circular saw, never stop the rotation of the saw blade by a lateral force applied against it G Never use circular saw blades made of high speed steel (HSS) G Never use grinding/cutting discs with this tool G Do not cut material containing asbestos G Wear a dust protection mask when working with materials which produce dust that is detrimental to health; inform yourself beforehand about the materials to be worked on G Do not attempt to cut extremely small workpieces G Remove all obstacles on top of as well as underneath the cutting path before you start cutting G Do not work overhead with the tool G Only use a saw table provided with a switch that prevents restarting of the motor after interruption of voltage G Only use a saw table provided with a kerf guide G Always disconnect plug from power source before making any adjustment or changing any accessory WHEN CONNECTING NEW 3-PIN PLUG (U. K. ensure that the saw teeth are not engaged into the workpiece - switch on tool by first pressing knob Q (= safety switch which cannot be locked) and then pulling trigger R !the tool should run at full speed before the blade enters into the workpiece - lower guard A opens automatically when saw blade enters the workpiece (open lower guard manually by using lever B only for special cuts such as plunge cuts) - do not force the tool; apply light and continuous pressure - after completing the cut switch off tool by releasing trigger R 10 !ensure that the blade has come to a complete standstill, before you lift the tool from the workpiece F APPLICATION ADVICE G G G G G G Always face the good side of the workpiece down to ensure minimum splintering Only use sharp saw blades of the correct type 7 - quality of cut improves by the number of teeth - carbide tipped blades stay sharp up to 30 times longer than ordinary blades Rip fence S 8 - for making exact cuts along a workpiece edge - can be inserted in either side of foot Adjusting rip fence - loosen knob T - adjust to desired cutting width by using rip fence scale (use line-of-cut indicator L as 0-reference) - tighten knob T Plunge cutting 9 - set desired cutting depth - tilt tool forward with line-of-cut indicator L lined up with desired line of cut marked on the workpiece - open lower guard A with lever B - just before blade enters workpiece, switch on tool and gradually lower back end of tool using front end of foot as hinge-point - gradually move tool downward as well as forward - as soon as blade enters the material, release lever B !never pull tool backwards Cutting large panels 0 - support panel close to the cut either on floor, table or workbench !set cutting depth so that you cut through panel and not through support - in case rip fence does not allow desired width of cut, clamp or nail straight piece of wood to workpiece as a guide, and use the right side of the foot against this guide For more tips see www. skileurope. com Scie circulaire INTRODUCTION G 5164 G Cet outil est conu pour effectuer dans le bois des coupes droites longitudinales et transversales ainsi que des angles d'onglet jusqu' 45; muni de lames de scie correspondantes, il est capable de scier des matriaux non-ferroux, des matriaux de construction lgers et des matires plastiques Lisez et conservez ce manuel d'instruction SPECIFICATIONS TECHNIQUES 1 SECURITE INSTRUCTIONS GENERALES DE SECURITE ATTENTION!Le nonrespect des instructions indiques ci-aprs peut entraner un choc lectrique, un incendie et/ou de graves blessures sur les personnes.
