Retractable guard
Before each use double-check if the retractable guard and
the spring are working correctly. If the guard is not
moving freely or not closing instantaneously service them
before further operation with the tool.
The retractable guard could work slowly because of
damaged parts, gummy deposits or debris accumulation. To
prevent from this possibility clean regularly the insides of
both guards and the disc axis. Use kerosene or compressed
air. Before cleaning disconnect the machine and remove the
cutting discs.
The retractable guard can be opened manually. Make this
only when changing discs and when making cuts such as
cut marking or combined cut. Using the guard lever open
the retractable guard. As soon as the disc gets into the
material, release the lever. For any other type of cuts the
guard should operate automatically. Never leave the
retractable guard in the open position.
The retractable guard might bend due to a stroke or if it
falls. Before operating the tool, verify it moves freely in
every angle and cutting depths. The guard should not
touch the cutting disc or any other part of the tool.
WARNING
Verify the retractable guard covers the
disc before setting the saw on a bench or on the floor. A
disc rotating due to inertia could cause the saw to move
backwards cutting whatever objects in its way. Verify the
disc stops moving after turning off the tool.
WARNING
Remember that the guards do not
protect you from the moving disc below the work piece.
Never squat or put your hand below the work piece when
the tool is running..

Toxic materials
Dust coming from some materials have chemical
substances known to cause cancer, birth and reproductive
defects. Some of these chemical substances are:
• Lead in lead-based paint.
• Crystal Silica in bricks, cement and other masonry
products.
• Arsenic and Chromium in wood treated with chemical
substances.
• Asbestos.
The risk involved due to exposure to these substances
varies with the frequency this type of job is made. To
reduce being exposed to the chemicals work in
well-ventilated areas, use the adequate safety equipment,
such as dust-mask specifically designed to filter
microscopic particles.
