Lock the oating blade guard in
its upper, retracted position. To
do this, loosen the oating guard
lock handle and lift the clear hood
portion up towards the inner dust
tube. When the oating blade guard
(F) is in its upper position, re-tighten
the oating guard lock handle.

Loosen the inner dust tube lock
knob and extend or retract the inner
dust tube (E) to center the oating
blade guard (F) over the blade. Then
re-tighten the inner dust tube lock
knob to secure the inner dust tube
and oating blade guard.
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE FLOATING BLADE GUARD ALWAYS BE
LOCKED IN ITS UPPER POSITION BEFORE THE DUST TUBES ARE MOVED
OR PIVOTED.
ALWAYS CHECK THE POSITION OF THE FLOATING BLADE GUARD (F)
PRIOR TO BEGINNING ANY CUTS, TO MAKE SURE IT WILL NOT
INTERFERE WITH THE TEETH ON THE SAW BLADE.

For bevel cuts, where the blade is tilted to the left, you may need to move the oating blade guard
(F) to the left so it does not interfere with the teeth on the saw blade. First, turn off your saw and
lock the oating blade guard in the upper, retracted position. Then, position the saw blade at the
desired angle and elevation. Carefully lower the guard and telescope the inner dust tube (E) further
to the left side of the saw as necessary, checking the clearance between the sides of the guard
and the teeth on the blade.
