A circular saw is a corded or cordless power tool with a rotating blade for straight cuts in wood and panels; this category includes plunge saws, band saws and table saws.
What it is for
Used for woodworking in the joinery shop and for cutting solid wood, panels and battens, on the bench or on site.
How to use it
Fit the blade suited to the material, observing the direction of rotation, set the depth just beyond the material thickness and clamp the workpiece. Start the blade before it touches the workpiece and feed steadily along the line or guide rail, without forcing or lifting the machine during the cut. Check that the lower guard always returns to its position, wear safety glasses and ear defenders, and connect dust extraction whenever possible.
