perform
its intended
function-check
for
alignment
of moving
parts,
binding of moving
parts,
breakage
of
parts,
mounting,
and any other

the blade
is
behind

READ THE
FOLLOWING
PRECAUTIONS.
CAUTIONS
TO
FOLLOW
WHEN
USING
LOWER
GUARD:
l. The
lower
blade
guard
will
provide
additional
protection
from
contact with
the
side of the blade-BuT
NoT
FROM
CoNTACT
WITH
THEFRONTORREAR
OFTHE BLADE,
When
the
lower
guard
touches
the fence
or material
being
cut, it
will
rise
up over the
material-thus
exposing
the
blade teeth.
Be
careful,
keep
your
hands
out
of
the
line of
cut!
2.
Lower
blade
guards
may
become
caught in
prior
kerfs in the
fence or
table.
Replace
guide
fence
frequently.
3.
Short
cut-off
pieces
of
wood
may
become
caught between
the
lower
guard
and the
blade. If this
happens
shut off
power;
wait
until
blade
stops
before
removal
of
piece.
4. The
lower
blade
guards
effectiveness
is limited
in
bevel operations.
It
may have
to
be raised
out of the way
when
setting
bevel angle
to
pre-
vent
bending.
BE SURE
THAT POWER
IS OFF AND
BLADE
IS
COMPLETELY
STOPPED
BEFORE
MAKING
AT.IY
ADJUST-
MENT.
5. Catching
the lower
guard
in saw kerfs when
changing the
saw
set-up
can
bc avoided
by elevating the
saw until the
bottom
of the
guard
clears the fence.
6. When
ripping
narrow
strips, the
lower
guard
may have
to
be raised
to
rest
on top of the
fence.
Be sure
to use a
pusher
stick to
feed the work.
7.
Do
not use the
lower
guard
with
any accessory
other thart
the
correct
size
saw blade.
8. To
summarize, when
in
doubt about whether
to
use the lower
guard
and when
practical,
make
a
"dry
run"
with
power
off
to determine
if
it is
a help or hindrance.
