Safety instruction for saws
- Check lower guard before each use. Do not operate the saw if the 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 depth of cut.
- 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.
- Lower guard should 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.
- 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.
