Saw Blades; Operation - Craftsman 320.46123 Manual Del Operador

SAW BLADES

The best of saw blades will not cut efficiently if they are not kept clean, sharp
and properly set.
Using a dull blade will place a heavy load on the saw and increase the danger of
kickback. Keep extra blades on hand, so that sharp blades are always available.
Gum and wood pitch hardened on the blades will slow the saw down. Use gum
and pitch remover, hot water or kerosene to remove these accumulations. DO
NOT USE GASOLINE.
ѥ
WARNING: A blade diameter of 7 1/4 in. is the maximum blade capacity of
your saw. A blade diameter greater than 7 1/4 in. will come in contact with the
blade guards. Never use a blade that is so thick that it prevents the outer blade
washer from engaging with the flat side of the spindle. Blades that are too large
or too thick can result in an accident causing serious injury.
BLADE GUARD SYSTEM
The lower blade guard attached to your circular saw is there for your protection
and safety. It should never be altered for any reason. If it becomes damaged
or begins to return slowly or sluggishly, do not operate your saw until the blade
guard has been repaired or replaced. Always leave the guard in its correct
operating position when using the saw.
ѥ
DANGER: When sawing through a workpiece, the lower blade guard does
not cover the blade on the underside of the workpiece. Since the blade is
exposed on the underside of the workpiece, keep hands and fingers away from
the cutting area. Any part of your body coming in contact with a moving blade
will result in serious injury.
ѥ
WARNING: Never use the saw when the guard is not operating properly.
The guard should be checked for correct operation before each use. If you drop
your saw, check that the lower blade guard and bumper for damage at all depth
settings before using.
ѥ
WARNING: When using the saw, always stay alert and exercise control. Do
not remove the saw from the workpiece while the blade is moving.
