CHECkING THE AUTOMATIC GUARD
The automatic guard must be checked to
ensure it is working properly.
1.
Lift the guard (1) upward approximately
3" (7.5 cm) and then release it. If the
guard is functioning correctly, it will
freely drop down to its original position.
2.
Lower the swing arm and cutting disc
assembly until the lower edge of the
guard (2) touches the chop saw base.
Continue to lower the swing arm and
cutting disc assembly. The automatic
guard should freely rise as the cutting
disc is lowered.
WARNING!
Always disconnect your chop saw from the power source before checking
the automatic guard or the arbour cap screw.
NOTE:
The guard should always rise and fall freely when the swing arm is lowered and raised, as outlined in #1 & #2
above. If it does not, clean any cuttings out from around the guard mechanism (3).
CHECkING THE ARBOR CAP SCREW
It is important to check the arbor cap
screw to make sure the cut-off disc is fully
tightened.
