the saw’s dust collection efficiency.To restore your saw’s dust 
collection efficiency, depress the spring inside the dust bag 
when you are emptying it and tap it on the side of the trash can 
or dustreceptacle.
Workpiece Support (Fig. L, M)
 
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, 
support the work properly and hold the saw firmly to 
prevent loss ofcontrol.
Figure L shows proper sawing position.Figure M shows an 
unsafe condition.Hands should be kept away from cuttingarea.
To avoid kickback, ALWAYS support board or panel NEAR the 
cut.DON’T support board or panel away from the cut .
ALWAYS DISCONNECT SAW BEFORE MAKING ANY 
ADJUSTMENTS! Place the work with its “good” side—the one 
on which appearance is most important—down.The saw cuts 
upward, so any splintering will be on the work face that is up 
when you sawit.

Lower Guard
The lower guard should always rotate and close freely from 
a fully open to fully closed position. Always check for correct 
operation before cutting by fully opening the guard and letting 
it close. If the guard closes slowly or not completely, it will need 
cleaning or servicing. Do not use the saw until it functions 
correctly. To clean the guard, use dry air or a soft brush to 
remove all accumulated sawdust or debris from the path of 
the guard and from around the guard spring. Should this not
