Using any power tool carelessly can change your life forever. The key to safety on the job is remembering a few basic rules.

On a Circular Saw, Make Sure:

  • The blade guard works properly.
  • The blade is properly installed.
  • The housing has no cracks or missing parts.
  • The power cord is not damaged and no wires are exposed.
  • The plug is undamaged and is solidly attached to the cord.

Never hold the blade guard open with a wedge or wire. Replace worn out springs if you notice the guard return sticking or operating slowly.

When Operating a Circular Saw:

  • Never alter or disable any safety device or guard.
  • Never hold the blade guard open with a wedge or wire.
  • Always position lumber on a stable work surface that will support the material evenly to prevent the saw from binding up and kicking back.
  • Never place lumber against your body or an unsteady object when cutting.
  • Always push the saw away from you —not toward you — when cutting.
  • Never place your hand or fingers in the blade's path.
  • Always unplug the saw before changing the blade.
  • Always use proper tools to loosen and tighten blade hardware.
