Electrical Safety 4. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded. 5. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. 6. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any

14. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. 15. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions. Tool Use and Care 16. Use clamps (not included) or other practical ways to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your bo

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR THIS PRODUCT 1. DANGER! Keep hands away from cutting area and 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. Keep your body positioned to either side of the saw blade, but not in line with the saw blade. Kickback could cause the saw to jump backwards. (See Kickback.) Do not reach underneath the work. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the work. 2. Check lower guard for

11. Causes and Operator Prevention of Kickback: 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. 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. 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 w

23. Do not force the Circular Saw. This tool will do the work better and safer at the speed and capacity for which it was designed. 24. Always unplug the Circular Saw from its electrical outlet before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures. 25. Never leave the Circular Saw unattended while running. Turn power off if you have to leave the Circular Saw. 26. Before each use, check all nuts, bolts, and screws for tightness. 27. Keep extension cord off the ground and away from

Grounded Tools with Three Prong Plugs 1. Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock. (See Figure A.) 2. The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to the grounding system

3. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord. (See Table A.) 4. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. (See Table A.) 5. If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amps and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size. (See Table A.) 6. I
