Lower guard function
a) Check lower guard for proper closing before each
use. Do not operate the saw if lower guard does
not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or
tie the lower guard into the open position. If saw is
accidentally dropped, lower guard may be bent. Raise the
lower guard with the retracting handle and make sure it
moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other
part, in all angles and depths of cut.
b) Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the
guard and the spring are not operating properly, they
must be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate
sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a
build-up of debris.
c) Lower guard may be retracted manually only for
special cuts such as “plunge cuts” and “compound
cuts”. Raise lower guard by retracting handle and as
soon as blade enters the material, the lower guard must
be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard should
operate automatically.
d) Always observe that the lower guard is covering the
blade before placing saw down on bench or oor. An
unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk
backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the
time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS FOR CIRCULAR
SAW
a) Do not use any abrasive wheels instead of the saw blades
of the size specied in this instruction manual.
b) Make sure that the correct saw blade is used for the
material to be cut. Read and compare the information in
this instruction manual with the product information of the
saw blade.
c) Use only saw blades that are marked with a speed equal
or higher than the speed marked on the tool.
