Circular Saw Safety Warnings
1.
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.
2.
Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece.
3.
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.
4.
Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg.
Secure the workpiece to a stable platform.
It is important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
5.
Hold power 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 power tool ″live″ and shock the operator.
6.
When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide.
This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
7.
Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbor holes.
Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
8.
Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt.
The blade washers and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.
9.
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 wood causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the operator.
• Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/ or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below: a.
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.
b.
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 backward while the blade is in motion or kickback may occur.
Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
c.
When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center 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.
d.
Support large panels to minimize 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.
e.
Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
f.
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.
10.
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.
11.
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.
Item 69064
For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797.
Page 5
Circular Saw Safety Warnings (continued)
12.
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.
22.
Do not lay the tool down until it has come to a complete stop.
Moving parts can grab the surface and pull the tool out of your control.
23.
When using a handheld power tool, maintain a firm grip on the tool with both hands to resist starting torque.
13.
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.
24.
Do not leave the tool unattended when it is plugged into an electrical outlet.
Turn off the tool, and unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving.
14.
DO NOT USE THIS SAW WITH THE
SAW HELD UPSIDE DOWN IN A VISE.
cannot be used safely in that position.
The saw is not designed for such use and
25.
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 body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
15.
Do not use to cut logs, tree limbs, or uneven lumber.
26.
This product is not a toy.
Keep it out of reach of children.
27.
Verify that there are no utility lines or hardware in or near the workpiece.
This is especially critical for plunge cuts.
16.
Wet lumber, green (unseasoned) lumber, and pressure treated lumber all have an increased potential for kickback and should only be cut with a blade for cutting that lumber type.
Wear a NIOSH-approved respirator and have appropriate ventilation whenever cutting pressure treated lumber.
28.
Do not depress the spindle lock when starting or during operation.
17.
18.
Do not use blades made from high-speed steel, abrasive blades, metal-cutting blades or masonry-cutting blades.
The guards of this saw are not designed to protect against the failure of such blades.
Place the larger portion of the saw base on the larger, supported part of the workpiece.
This will help maintain balance and control while the cut is completed.
29.
People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use.
Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure. In addition, people with pacemakers should:
• Avoid operating alone.
• Do not use with Trigger locked on.
• Properly maintain and inspect to avoid electrical shock.
• Any power cord must be properly grounded.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) should also be implemented – it prevents sustained electrical shock.
19.
Blades must be rated to at least the maximum speed marked on the tool.
20.
Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool.
These carry important safety information.
If unreadable or missing, contact
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
21.
Avoid unintentional starting.
Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool.
30.
The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur.
It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
Vibration Safety
This tool vibrates during use.
Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders. To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
Page 6
For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797.
Item 69064
1.
Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should first be examined by a doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to ensure medical problems are not being caused or worsened from use.
Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood circulation to the hand, past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease should not use this tool.
If you feel any symptoms related to vibration (such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical advice as soon as possible.

Grounding
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH FROM INCORRECT GROUNDING
WIRE CONNECTION:
Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a service facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Grounded Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs
3-Prong Plug and Outlet
2. The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to the tool’s grounding system and must never be attached to an electrically “live” terminal.
(See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
3. The tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like those in the preceding illustration.
(See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
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 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
Double Insulated Tools: Tools with Two Prong Plugs
Outlets for 2-Prong Plug
1. Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require grounding. They have a special double insulation system which satisfies
OSHA requirements and complies with the applicable standards of Underwriters
Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard
Association, and the National Electrical Code.
2. Double insulated tools may be used in either of the
120 volt outlets shown in the preceding illustration.
(See Outlets for 2-Prong Plug.)
Page 8
For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797.
Item 69064
Extension Cords
1.
Grounded
tools require a three wire extension cord.
Double Insulated
tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord.
7. Make sure the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified electrician before using it.
2. As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord.
Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage.
(See Table A on page 9.)
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 amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size.
(See Table A.)
8. Protect the extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
