LOWER GUARD SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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

of the lower
guard
spring,
ff 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
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 aft 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
unprotected,
coasting blade
wifl 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.
