SAFETY INFORMATION
Lower Guard Function
• Check the lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if
the lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower
guard into the open position. If the saw is accidentally dropped, the lower guard may be
bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle and make sure that it moves freely
and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and all depths of cut.
• Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the guard and the spring are not
operating properly, they must be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate
sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
• The lower guard may be retracted manually only for special cuts, such as "plunge
cuts" and "compound cuts." Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle and as
soon as the blade enters the material, the lower guard must be released. For all other
sawing, the lower guard should operate automatically.
• Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing the saw
down on the bench or floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk
backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop
after switch is released.
