Blade guard
If the transparent blade guard becomes dirty, or saw-
dust adheres to it in such a way that the blade and/or
workpiece is no longer easily visible, remove the battery
cartridge and clean the guard carefully with a damp
cloth. Do not use solvents or any petroleum-based
cleaners on the plastic guard because this may cause
damage to the guard.
For cleaning, raise the blade guard by referring to the
section for installing/removing the circular saw blade.
After cleaning, make sure to return the circular saw
blade and center cover and tighten the hex socket bolt.
1. Make sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed.
2. Turn the hex socket bolt counterclockwise using
the supplied hex wrench with holding the center cover.
3. Raise the blade guard and center cover.
4. When cleaning is complete, return the center
cover and tighten the hex socket bolt by performing the
steps above in reverse.
