N. UPPER AND LOWER BLADE GUARDS: The lower
blade guard is made of shock-resistant, see-through
plastic that provides protection from each side of the
blade. It automatically retracts over the upper blade
guard as the saw is lowered into the workpiece.
O. 12-INCH BLADE: A 12" blade is included with the
compound miter saw. It will cut materials up to 4"
thick or 14" wide, depending upon the angle at which
the cut is being made.
P.
POWER SWITCH: The saw blade is activated by
an easy-to-use trigger switch. When not in use the
saw should be disconnected from the power supply
and switch locked in the off position using a padlock
(not included) inserted through the hole in the switch
trigger. A lock with a long shackle may be used.
