Blade Guard

Figure 28

shows the blade guard controls. The

blade guard protects the operator from accidental
contact with the part of the blade that is not being
used.

The star knob on the guide rail allows you to raise
and lower the blade guard and blade guide
assembly. Keep the blade guide assembly within
an inch of the material you are cutting. This will
provide adequate support for the blade where the
pressure is greatest.

This adjustment is crucial

when cutting through bone!
