Dry Run
Be aware of the path of the saw
blade. Make a dry run with the bat-
tery pack disconnected and the saw switched OFF by con-
ducting a simulated cutting cycle, and observe the pro-
jected path of the saw blade. Keep hands out of the path of
saw blade.
It is important to know where the blade will intersect with
the workpiece during cutting operations. Always perform
the simulated cutting sequence with the battery pack dis-
connected and the power tool switched OFF to gain an un-
derstanding of the projected path of the saw blade. Mentally
note where the path of the saw blade will fall and set up your
work to keep your hands and arms out of the path of the spin-
ning blade. Adjust your clamps and fences so that the smooth
lower guard and cutting action are not interfered with during
cutting operation.
Lower Guard
The lower guard (Fig. 35, 26) may
not automatically open under cer-
tain cutting conditions; for example, when trying to cut
workpieces that are near the maximum cutting height ca-
pacity. Under these conditions or during the blade travel
motion of cut, the workpiece can stop the lower guard
movement before the downward motion of the arm could
pre-open the lower guard.
If this occurs:
Workpiece must be securely clamped with clamp (Fig. 35 and
Fig. 36, 42). This frees a hand to raise the lower guard (26)
by the lip just enough to clear the workpiece.
Start the saw and begin your cut. Once you have cleared the
position where the lower guard may bind, release the guard
and it will continue to operate automatically as you cut.

inches (152mm) away from the projected path of the saw
