When lowering the handle, the blade guard rises
automatically. The blade guard returns to its original
position when the cut is completed and the handle is
raised.
WARNING:
Never defeat or remove the blade 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
operation of the blade guard should be corrected
immediately. Check to assure spring loaded return
action of guard.
WARNING:
Never use the tool if the blade 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 petroleum-based cleaners on
the plastic guard because this may cause damage to
the guard.
If the blade guard becomes dirty and needs to be
cleaned for proper operation follow the steps below:
With the tool switched off and unplugged, use the
supplied socket wrench to loosen the hex bolt holding
the center cover. Loosen the hex bolt by turning it
counterclockwise and raise the blade guard and center
