Circular Saw Specific Safety Warnings:

• Keep Hands Away: Manteña as mans lonxe da área de corte e da folla. Manteña a segunda man no asa auxiliar ou a carcasa do motor. Se as dúas mans sosteñen a serra, non se poden cortar coa folla.
• Do Not Reach Under Workpiece: Do not reach underneath the workpiece when the blade is rotating.
• Adjust Depth and Bevel: Axuste a profundidade de corte ao grosor da peza de traballo. Menos dun dente completo da folla debe ser visible debaixo da peza de traballo.
• Never Hold Workpiece in Hand: Nunca manteña a peza de traballo nas mans ou sobre a perna mentres corta. Asegure a peza de traballo nunha plataforma estable.
• Check Lower Guard: Before each use, check the lower guard for proper closing. Do not operate the saw if the lower guard does not move freely and close instantly.
• Evitar o cobro por mordacidade: Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound, or misaligned saw blade. Always maintain a firm grip on the saw with both hands and position your body and arm to resist kickback forces.
