Common hazards when working with circular saws include the risk of kickback, objects getting thrown, and electric shock. In addition, the blade can cause lacerations and burns. Always wear protective gear and follow safety instructions when operating a circular saw.

To operate a circular saw safely, you should wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) as recommended by OSHA, such as safety goggles, hearing protection, and a dust mask. Additionally, the saw should be properly maintained and all safety guards should be in place.

Personal protective equipment (PPE) such as safety glasses, ear protection, and a dust mask should be worn when using a circular saw. Safety boots, gloves, and a hard hat may also be required depending on the job.

You should store your circular saw in a dry, cool area away from any heat sources. Wrap the cord around the handle and secure it with a zip tie. Cover the saw with a plastic cover to protect it from dust, dirt, and moisture.

Some common mistakes to avoid when using a circular saw for the first time include not wearing eye and ear protection, not checking the blade for damage, and not using a guide to ensure a straight cut.

To ensure maximum safety and security when storing and transporting your circular saw, make sure to secure it in a sturdy carrying case and place it in an area that is secure, dry, and away from extreme temperatures.

If you experience an electrical shock while using your circular saw, turn the saw off immediately and unplug the cord from the power source. Seek medical attention if necessary.

Ensure that the blade is properly installed and tightened on your circular saw by following the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure to use the right size wrench, and tighten the blade securely but not too tightly.

To prevent dust and debris from affecting your visibility and safety when using a circular saw, use a vacuum dust extraction system to keep the area clear and wear safety goggles to protect your eyes.
