and secure before making the cut.
If blade adjustment shifts while
cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.
G. Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls or other
blind areas.
The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause
kickback.
LOWER GUARD FUNCTION
A. 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. 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 the operation of the lower guard spring. If 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. 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 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 the saw down on bench or floor. An unprotected,
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
switch is released.
