1. When using a circular saw it is important to plug into an adapter containing an RCD (Residual Current Device). This device shuts down the saw should the cable be severed.

2. When using the circular saw, make sure that the cable is kept well away from the blade.

3. Unplug the saw when not in use.

4. Ensure that the blade is properly fitted every time you use it.

5. Wear protective goggles.

6. Always change the blade if it appears blunt or out of shape.

7. Always remove the saw from the timber after it has ceased.

8. Make sure that the flex is completely in tact. If it’s wearing down to the copper wire, replace it immediately.
