16. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing at all times. Use common sense. Do
not use this product when you are tired or distracted from the job at hand.
17. Do not operate this product when fatigued or under the influence of alcohol
or drugs.
10. Always remove all adjusting keys and wrenches from the Circular Saw
before starting.
11. Do not pull or carry the Circular Saw by its Power Cord (part #65), or
pull the Cord around sharp corners or edges. Do not unplug the Circular Saw
by pulling on the Cord. Keep the Cord away from heated surfaces.
12. Do not force the tool. This Circular Saw will do the work better and safer at
the speed and capacity for which it is designed.
7. When using the Circular Saw, always maintain a firm grip on the tool with
both hands and keep hands and fingers away from the cutting area and
Saw Blade.
8. Keep your body positioned to either side of the Saw Blade, but not in line
with the Saw Blade.
9. Avoid “kickback” forces. Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound,
or misaligned Saw Blade causing an uncontrolled Circular Saw to lift up and out
of the workpiece toward the operator. Always maintain a firm grip with both
hands on the Saw and position your body and arm to allow you to resist
kickback forces. When the Saw Blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for
any reason, release the Power Switch (part #67) and hold the Saw motionless in
the workpiece until the Saw Blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to
remove the Saw from the workpiece or pull the Saw backward while the Saw
Blade is in motion or kickback may occur.
