BLADE GUARDS
BLADE GUARD
The blade guard can be mounted on either side of the saw
to accomodate different cutting jobs.
Removing a Blade Guard:
The saw utilizes a tapered blade guard mounting
clip that, during operation, settles in the taper by
the weight of the guard locking itself into place,
providing a rigid, rattle-free fit.
1. Remove the water delivery hose from the blade guard
(Figure 14).
2. Standing toward the back of the blade guard, grasp
the top handle firmly with your outboard hand (this will
be the right hand if the guard is mounted on the right
as viewed from the operator’s position), and prepare to
support the weight of the blade guard (Figure 15).

3. With the opposite hand, grasp the rear handle and rock
back and forth with an upward pressure to release the
blade guard tapered mounting clip. Lift straight up, then
pull back once the tapered lock is released. Install blade
guard in reverse order.

WARNING
NEVER operate the saw with the front half of the Blade
Guard removed.
