must be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate slug-
gishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up
of debris.
c) Lower guard should be retracted manually only for spe-
cial cuts such as “plunge cuts” and “compound cuts”. Raise
lower guard by retracting handle and as soon as blade en-
ters 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 floor. An unpro-
tected, 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 the switch is released.
Safety instructions for the handling of saw blades
a) Only use saw blades when you have mastered their use.
b) Pay attention to the maximum rotation speed. The maximum
speed indicated on the saw blade must never be exceeded.
When given, keep within the specified engine speed range.
c) Never use cracked or damaged saw blades. Be sure to inspect
the saw blades before use. Never repair cracked or damaged
saw blades.
d) Keep the clamping surfaces free from dirt, grease, oil, and
water.
e) Do not use any loose reducing rings or bushings for the reduc-
ing of holes on saw blades.
f) Make sure that fixed reducing rings for securing the saw blade
have the same diameter and have at least 1/3 of the cutting
diameter.
g) Make sure that fixed reducing rings are parallel to each other.
h) Handle the saw blades with caution. Ideally, store them in
the original packaging or special containers. Wear protective
gloves in order to improve grip and further reduce the risk of
injury.
