line of cut and near the edge of the panel.
e) Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or
improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive
friction, blade binding and kickback.
f) 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.
g) 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.
b) 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.
c) lower guard may 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.
d) always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade
before placing saw down on bench or floor. An 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.
