[. . . ] A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. [. . . ] 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. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CIRCULAR SAWS DANGER 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) Do not reach underneath the workpiece (the guard cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece) 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) 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) 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) When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide (this improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance for blade binding) 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) 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 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 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 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) 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) 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) Do not use a 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 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) WARNING 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; 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 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) 9 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) 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) GENERAL Avoid damage that can be caused by screws, nails and other elements in your workpiece; remove them before you start working When you put away the tool, switch off the motor and ensure that all moving parts have come to a complete standstill Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords with a capacity of 16 Amps (U. K. 13 Amps) In case of jamming or electrical or mechanical malfunction, immediately switch off the tool and disconnect the plug WOODSTAR can assure flawless functioning of the tool only when original accessories are used Use only accessories with an allowable speed matching at least the highest no-load speed of the tool Never use the tool without the original protection guard system This tool should not be used by people under the age of 16 years The noise level when working can exceed 85 dB(A); wear ear protection If the cord is damaged or cut through while working, do not touch the cord, but immediately disconnect the plug Never use tool when cord is damaged; have it replaced by a qualified person 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) This tool is not suitable for wet cutting After switching off your circular saw, never stop the rotation of the saw blade by a lateral force applied against it Never use circular saw blades made of high speed steel (HSS) Never use grinding/cutting discs with this tool Use suitable detectors to find hidden utility lines or call the local utility company for assistance (contact with electric lines can lead to fire or electrical shock; damaging a gas line can result in an explosion; penetrating a water pipe will cause property damage or an electrical shock) Do not work materials containing asbestos (asbestos is considered carcinogenic) Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some wood species, minerals and metal may be harmful (contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the operator or bystanders); wear a dust mask and work with a dust extraction device when connectable Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic (such as oak and beech dust) especially in conjunction with additives for wood conditioning; wear a dust mask and work with a dust extraction device when connectable Follow the dust-related national requirements for the materials you want to work with Do not attempt to cut extremely small workpieces Remove all obstacles on top of as well as underneath the cutting path before you start cutting Do not work overhead with the tool Only use a saw table provided with a switch that prevents restarting of the motor after interruption of voltage Always disconnect plug from power source before making any adjustment or changing any accessory WHEN CONNECTING NEW 3-PIN PLUG (U. K. ONLY): Do not connect the blue (= neutral) or brown (= live) wire in the cord of this tool to the earth terminal of the plug If for any reason the old plug is cut off the cord of this tool, it must be disposed of safely and not left unattended USE Changing saw blade 3 - push spindle-lock button A and hold it while you remove blade bolt B with blade wrench C !ensure that the saw teeth are not engaged into the workpiece - switch on tool by first pressing knob S (= safety switch which cannot be locked) and then pulling trigger T !the tool should run at full speed before the blade enters into the workpiece - lower guard E opens automatically when saw blade enters the workpiece (open lower guard manually by using lever F 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 T !ensure that the blade has come to a complete standstill, before you lift the tool from the workpiece APPLICATION ADVICE Always face the good side of the workpiece down to ensure minimum splintering Only use sharp saw blades of the correct type 8 - quality of cut improves by the number of teeth - carbide tipped blades stay sharp up to 30 times longer than ordinary blades Rip fence U 9 (available as WOODSTAR accessory 2610397945) - for making exact cuts along a workpiece edge - can be inserted in either side of foot Adjusting rip fence - loosen knob V - adjust to desired cutting width by using rip fence scale (use saw line visor N as 0-reference) - tighten knob V Plunge cutting 0 - set desired cutting depth - tilt tool forward with saw line visor N lined up with desired line of cut marked on the workpiece - open lower guard E with lever F - 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 F !- 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 Vibration level The vibration emission level stated at the back of this instruction manual has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745; it may be used to compare one tool with another and as a preliminary assessment of exposure to vibration when using the tool for the applications mentioned - using the tool for different applications, or with different or poorly maintainted accessories, may significantly increase the exposure level - the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job, may significantly reduce the exposure level !protect yourself against the effects of vibration by maintaining the tool and its accessories, keeping your hands warm, and organizing your work patterns 11 139 140 GB CE DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY We declare under our sole responsibility that this product is in conformity with the following standards or standardized documents: EN 60 745, EN 55 014, in accordance with the provisions of the directives 2006/95/EC, 2004/108/EC, 98/37/EC (until Dec.
