OPERATION

WARNING:

Do not allow familiarity with the tool to make you 
careless.  Remember  that  a  careless  fraction  of  a 
second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.

APPLICATIONS

You may use this saw for the following purposes:

 

Cutting  all  types  of  wood  products  (lumber,  plywood, 
paneling)

 

NOTE: The use of abrasive cut-off wheels is not recom-
mended for this saw.

WARNING:

The  use  of  this  saw  on  materials  not  listed  may 
damage  the  saw  and  its  guards,  and  may  cause 
serious personal injury.

WARNING:

Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with 
side shields when operating tools. Failure to do so 
could result in objects being thrown into your eyes, 
resulting in possible serious injury.

SAW BLADES

The best of saw blades will not cut efficiently if they are not 
kept clean, sharp, and properly set. Using a dull blade will 
place a heavy load on the saw and increase the danger of 
kickback. Keep extra blades on hand, so that sharp blades 
are always available.
Gum and wood pitch hardened on blades will slow the saw 
down. Remove saw blade from the saw and use gum and 
pitch remover, hot water, or kerosene to remove these ac-
cumulations. 

DO NOT USE GASOLINE.

BLADE GUARD SYSTEM

See Figure 4.

The  lower  blade  guard  attached  to  your  saw  is  there  for 
your protection and safety. Do not alter it for any reason. 
If it becomes damaged, do not operate the saw until you 
have the guard repaired or replaced. Always leave guard in 
operating position when using the saw.

DANGER:

When sawing through work, lower blade guard does 
not  cover  blade  on  the  underside  of  work.  Since 
blade is exposed on underside of work, keep hands 
and fingers away from cutting area. Any part of your 
body coming in contact with moving blade will result 
in serious injury.

Fig. 4

WARNING:

To avoid possible serious injury, never use saw when 
guard is not operating correctly. Check the guard for 
correct operation before each use. The guard is op-
erating correctly when it moves freely, and instantly 
returns to the closed position. If you drop the saw, 
check the lower blade guard and bumper for dam-
age at all depth settings before reuse. 

If at any time the lower blade guard does not snap closed, 
unplug the saw from the power supply. Exercise the lower 
guard by moving it rapidly back and forth from the full open 
position to the closed position several times. Normally this 
will restore the guard to its normal operating condition. If 
it does not correct a slow or sluggish closing lower guard, 
do not use the saw. Take it to an authorized factory service 
center for repair.
