• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

Blade guard
When lowering the handle, the blade guard rises automati-

position when the cut is completed and the handle is raised.
NEVER DEFEAT OR REMOVE THE BLADE GUARD OR

In the interest of your personal safety, always maintain the
blade guard in good condition. Any irregular operation of the
blade guard should be corrected immediately. Check to
assure spring loaded return action of guard. NEVER USE
THE TOOL IF THE BLADE GUARD OR SPRING ARE DAM-
AGED, FAULTY OR REMOVED. DOING SO IS HIGHLY
DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY.
