properly before operating the
saw.
Check the lower guard
to
insure that
it
engages the rubber stop

If
guard does
not
work freely: 1. Remove blade. 2. Blow
out
or
remove
all
excess
sawdust with a soft cloth
or
brush. 3.
If
guard still does
not
operate properly, check spring
for
proper
hook-up and tension.
It
may have
to
be replaced. 4. Do
not
use
any
saw
on
which blade guards
are
not
working properly.
