We’re going to show you the safety tips with the circular saw. What you have to remember that these are extremely dangerous and sharp tools. First thing you must remember is that it has a guard. There’s always a guard at the bottom of your blade that is to stop accidentally putting a hand there and cutting it on those blades. Okay, if you get more advanced machines, you got this dial selector here so you select the rotation speed and again a lot of them have or most of them come with a safety feature. Press the safety button first before you press the main button. It is extremely useful tools because you can adjust the angle to 45 degree either way by turning this knob here, rotating the plate at the bottom. And that will give you a 45 degree angle cut. The tip here is to keep you machine at the and of your work surface so if you wanted to cut a piece of wood, keep it well placed behind the piece of wood you want to cut. And always start your machine directly in front the piece of wood you want to cut. Never stop this machine and then begin to put it into the wood.
Okay. Another feature it also has is a gauge. We put that in there and it lies against the edge of your piece of wood. It will give you a straight cut. So remember, always switch this off if it’s not being used. Okay. Because anything can happen, anybody can come and press the lever and you’ll be in accident. So important thing, always, always be safe with this. If you put your blade in this piece of wood, press your safety switch and then your main switch and keep the blade steady at all times. Meet the cut from there. Okay, so be very careful with this kind of tools and put the dust extraction bin at the end and connect it to your vacuum cleaner. Okay, safety mask and goggles as always.
