Get ready for work—you must wear:

• a work shirt and pants,
• work shoes with composite toe caps,
• safety glasses, 
• ear protection,
• dust mask.

Before you start work, remember that you must:

• Complete health and safety training and on-the-job training,
• Have no health contraindications to performing the work.
• Be familiar with the operating instructions for the machines, equipment, and tools used in the workplace.

Before starting work:

• Visually check the technical condition of the equipment and report any faults to your supervisor immediately.
• Adjust the workstation to suit the work (good lighting and sufficient space to perform the work).
• Set the blade according to the material being processed.

• Check that starting the equipment will not cause any danger.
• Prepare all protective elements in accordance with the device's operating instructions. 

During operation:

• Remove metal parts from the materials to be cut.
• Turn on the device. 
• Check that the direction of rotation is as indicated on the disc; if necessary, mount the disc correctly.

• Keep the guards and safety components in full working order; report any damage to the designated person for repair.
• When cutting long elements, use additional support for the element being cut.
• Do not overload the machine; apply minimal pressure to the blade.
• Hold the cut elements securely and firmly on the work table.

• Make adjustments (blade replacement) with the machine disconnected from the power supply.
• If the gap between the blade and the parallel guide is too small (less than 120 mm), use a stick to push the material being cut.
• Keep your work area tidy.

After finishing work:

• Turn off the circular saw, clean it, and tidy up your work area.
• Replace the sawdust bag according to the instructions in the user manual.

What NOT to do?

• Allow unauthorized persons to be near the saw or while it is in operation.
• Remove covers and safety devices.
• Use the circular saw with damaged guards and safety devices. 
• Bring your hands close to the rotating blade.
• Work without adequate lighting.
• Process materials that are not listed in the operating instructions.
• Use the circular saw with more than one person.
• Use circular saws that do not meet the technical parameters specified in the operating instructions.
• Work with gloves on moving/rotating parts.
• Pull the plug out of the socket or pull on the machine's power cord.

Breakdown or accident?

• If something breaks down, stop working and report the fault to your supervisor.
• If an accident has occurred, do not move anything and inform your supervisor.
• In the event of a malfunction that poses a threat to the environment, switch off the device immediately and hang a sign saying: "DEVICE UNDER REPAIR – DO NOT SWITCH ON." 
• In the event of an accident, immediately administer first aid to the injured person and, if necessary, call the emergency services.
