For cuts requiring the use of the trigger actuated lower
guard, ensure the guard trigger is released after entering the
material.
This allows the guard to immediately cover the
blade after the cut.
Before each use, inspect the function of the lower guard and
trigger actuator assembly.
By depressing the trigger actuator
and releasing, ensure that the trigger actuator functions
properly and allows the guard to be manually withdrawn from
its forward position, and that after release, the guard moves
freely back to the forward position covering the blade.
If the lower guard or trigger actuator doesn't function
properly (if there is binding or the guard doesn't move freely)
do not use the saw and have it serviced immediately.
Base Extension Plate
Figures 4a and b. Base Extension Plate (extended and
retracted).
The base extension plate should normally be in the down or
horizontal position.
The base extension plate is intended to
assist as a guide in cutting into suspended material and for
basic cuts. This plate must be extended to use the Rip Gate.
The base extension plate should be placed in the up or
vertical position for cuts that require a "nose cut" depth of
1 and 9/16" or for zero-clearance cuts around corners.
