wood-like products only. Dust build up around
the lower guard and hub from other materials
(plastic, masonry or metal) may disable the low-

with this circular saw. The
dust from metal or masonry cutting will cause
the lower guard to become sluggish and may not
close fully and quickly after cutting these mate-
rials.
