A necessary tool in every workshop

When I presented Step100X pendulum saw I used to say that a carpenter's first choice when he goes to the next level - i.e. decides he needs more than a handsaw - is a circular saw. With it he can cut planks and wood-based panels to the size he wants.

In order to make sure that the cuts are neat and clean-looking at the end, you need to follow a few rules:

• First adjust the cutting depth and, if necessary, the angle;
• mark with a pencil or marker the line where the cut should be made;
• always cut the piece face down. This will give you a clean, smooth cut;
• do not drive the circular saw into the wood until the blade has reached full speed. Remove the blade from the wood after it has come to a complete stop;
• When cutting, move the saw slowly along the marked line. This prevents the blade from jamming;
• As with any cutting tool, over time the blade will need to be sharpened. Sharpen the teeth evenly. Don't delay sharpening the blade to avoid poor quality cuts and to avoid a large amount of wood dust;.
• when cutting try to hold the saw with both hands. It's a powerful machine and to get good quality cuts it's advisable to have as much control as possible;
• Secure the saw on the table when cutting. Don't hold the workpiece with one hand and the circular saw with the other because you won't get quality cuts and more importantly, the risk of injury is very high;
• choose the correct cutting depth to avoid kickback as much as possible. Kickback can also occur if the cut pieces are not removed or if the blade gets stuck in the panel to be cut;
• check the material to be cut for nails or other such materials that lead to blade damage.

By respecting the above and using a quality tool such as the Circular KS 66-2, you'll get correctly cut parts with a smooth surface and no snags.

Your safety at work is the most important thing

When we talk about safety we tend to use too many words, but follow as few rules as possible. The Brits say it simply - Safety First - but they follow all the rules and use the best protective equipment so that working with these tools is always a pleasure.

When working with the saw, don't be distracted or careless, with your mind elsewhere. It is a very useful tool, but it can be dangerous. Wear personal protective equipment. This should include goggles and gloves. There are very strong metal chain mail gloves. They are expensive but very useful.

Being a power tool, make sure you won't get tangled in the cord while cutting. If you don't have enough leeway, use an extension cord, but make sure it won't get in the way while you're working.

Never make adjustments to the appliance while it is running.

Good luck and good luck!
