Can you still use the circular saw with out the safety trigger ?

Question

if so how mine wont work and i dont want to try anything til i know how.

Answer 1

I don't recommend it ,it's there for a reason (your safety)

if something happened ,you know you did what was best, All the guys i know that got hurt using equipment wished they used the safety devises that came with the equipment.

Answer 2

Sure you can bypass the safety. But be very careful of your fingers and toes! Meat sounds much different than cutting wood!

Answer 3

some saws don't have that safety my dewalt does not nether does my 8 1/4" skill    I'm not talking about the blade guard I'm talking about the switch safety

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

Absolutely.  I find that the safety trigger causes more problems than it solves - it is too awkward to press while you're trying to hold the saw in a precise location.

On a cordless saw they have a real use (you don't want the saw starting up while it's in the tool bag), but it's easier to remove the batteries before you pack it up.

I would never use a circular saw without the saw blade guard, though...  That'll chop your leg off for sure.

Answer 6
