Do not use dull or damaged blades.

Unsharpened

or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing

excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.

Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers

must be tight and secure before making cut.

If blade

adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and

kickback.

Use extra caution when making a “plunge cut” into

existing walls or other blind areas.

The protruding

blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.

a.

Check lower guard for proper closing before each

use.

Do not operate the saw if lower guard does not

move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the

lower guard into the open position. If saw is accidentally

dropped, lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard

with the retracting handle and make sure it moves freely

and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all

angles and depths of cut.

Check the operation of the lower guard spring.

If the

guard and the spring are not operating properly, they

must be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate

sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a

build-up of debris.

Lower guard should be retracted manually only for

special cuts such as “plunge cuts” and “compound

cuts.”

Raise lower guard by retracting handle and as

soon as blade enters the material, the lower guard must

be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard should

operate automatically.

Always observe that the lower guard is covering the

blade before placing saw down on bench or floor.

unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk

backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the

time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released.
