Blade guard

► 1. Blade guard
When lowering the handle, the blade guard rises automat-
ically. The guard is spring loaded so it returns to its original
position when the cut is completed and the handle is raised.
WARNING:
guard or the spring which attaches to the guard.
An exposed blade as a result of defeated guarding
may result in serious personal injury during operation.
In the interest of your personal safety, always maintain
the blade guard in good condition. Any irregular opera-
tion of the blade guard should be corrected immediately.
Check to assure spring loaded return action of guard.
WARNING:
guard or spring are damaged, faulty or removed.
Operation of the tool with a damaged, faulty or
removed guard may result in serious personal injury.
If the see-through blade guard becomes dirty, or sawdust
adheres to it in such a way that the blade and/or workpiece is
no longer easily visible, unplug the saw and clean the guard
carefully with a damp cloth. Do not use solvents or any petro-
leum-based cleaners on the plastic guard because this may
cause damage to the guard.
If the blade guard is especially dirty and vision through
the guard is impaired, unplug the tool and use the sup-
plied wrench to loosen the hex bolt holding the center
cover. Loosen the hex bolt by turning it counterclock-
wise and raise the blade guard and center cover. With
the blade guard so positioned, cleaning can be more
completely and efficiently accomplished. When cleaning
is complete, reverse procedure above and secure bolt.
Do not remove spring holding blade guard. If guard
becomes discolored through age or UV light exposure,
contact a Makita service center for a new guard. DO
NOT DEFEAT OR REMOVE GUARD.
