DANGER
Risk of injury! Operating the saw without the blade guard fitted increases the risk of injury.
▶
Always work with both side sections of the blade guard fitted (except when making
corner cuts).
▶
When making a corner cut, remove the side section only immediately before starting
work on the corner. Take additional safety precautions.
1. Slide the blade guard middle section onto the blade guard holder.
2. Fit the blade guard side section, inserting the metal hook in the blade guard middle
section.
3. Secure the blade guard side section with the tensioning bar.
▶
The blade guard middle section and side section then form a unit that can be
removed or refitted to the blade guard holder as a single unit.
4. Secure the complete blade guard to the blade guard holder by pulling the rubber
tensioning strap over the tensioning lug.
▶
The blade guard is then ready for use.
If, due to the particular cutting situation, the blade guard cannot be used,
alternative safety / protective measures must be implemented to secure the
surrounding areas. One possibility is to build an enclosure with formwork boards
to contain flying debris.
