circular saw used to cut wide and long pieces of materials
- Wear safety glasses or goggles, or a face shield.
- Wear an approved respirator or dust mask when exposed to harmful or nuisance dusts.
- Use appropriate hearing protection equipment in noisy areas.
- Check the retracting lower blade guard to make certain it works freely.
- Ensure that the blade that you have selected is sharp enough to do the job. Sharp blades work better and are safer.
- Check the saw for proper blade rotation.
- Set the depth of the blade, while the saw is unplugged, and lock it at a depth so that the lowest tooth does not extend more than about 0.3 cm or 1/8" beneath the wood.
- Keep all cords clear of cutting area.
- Circular saws are designed for right-hand operation; left-handed operation will demand more care to operate safely.
