Operation of the Tool-Less
Guard/Depth Gauge
®
(Fig. 21) To adjust the Guard/Depth Gauge, if the saw
is running, first set the saw’s chain brake. Loosen the
adjusting knob and slide the outer section to the desired
setting. Retighten the adjusting knob and release the
chain brake.
IMPORTANT:
In its fully extended
position, the Guard/Depth Gauge completely covers the
cutting chain. Thus, you can now start the saw on
the ground and carry it up to the roof or to your cutting
position while it is running.
This eliminates the need to restart the saw after you are in
position and assures a warmed up, operational saw.
Cutting Deeper than the Guard/
Depth Gauge
®
Setting
Even with the Guard/Depth Gauge set to a pre-determined
depth you can increase the depth of your cut without
changing the setting by increasing the angle of the saw in
relation to the roof surface. While cutting at the standard
45º angle (Fig. 22), the saw will cut to the depth indicated on
the depth of cut scale. But by raising the angle of the saw
to 90º (Fig. 23), you can cut up to .414 inch (10.5mm)
deeper for every one inch (25.4mm) indicated on the
depth of cut scale.
Removing the Tooless Guard Depth Gauge
(1) Remove the adjustment knob.
(2) Pull off the outer section. (Safety pin will
release as you pull outer section off)
(3) Remove the inner section by pulling up from the
locking key. (Fig 18 - See page 13)
Cleaning the Guard/Depth Gauge
It is important that the Guard/Depth Gauge be cleaned
and inspected after each use. To clean the Guard/Depth
Gauge, simply remove it, wipe off all inner and outer
surfaces and reinstall on the saw. Cleaning may also
be done with solvent in a parts washer.
