Lower guard function
1 . Check the lower guard for proper closing before
each use. Do not operate the saw if the lower guard
does not move freely and close instantly. Never
clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position.
If the saw is accidentally dropped, the lower guard may
be bent. R aise th e low er guard w ith th e retrac ting h and le
and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the
blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
2. Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If
the guard and the spring are not operating prop-
erly, they must be serviced before use. L o w er
guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts,
gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
3. The lower guard may be retracted manually only for
special cuts such as "plunge cuts " and "compound
cuts " . Raise the lower guard by the retracting
handle and as soon as the blade enters the mate-
rial, the lower guard must be released. F or all ot h er
sawing, the lower guard should operate automatically.
4 . Always observe that the lower guard is cover-
ing the blade before placing the saw down on

3. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from lumber before cutting.
4 . Place the wider portion of the saw base on
that part of the workpiece which is solidly
supported, not on the section that will fall off
when the cut is made. If the workpiece is short
or small, clamp it down. DO NOT TRY TO HOLD
SHORT PIECES BY HAND !
