LOWER BLADE GUARD
WARNING
: Laceration Hazard.
The lower blade
guard is a safety feature which reduces the risk of
serious personal injury. Never use the saw if the lower
guard is missing, damaged, mis-assembled or not
working properly. Do not rely on the lower blade guard
to protect you under all circumstances. Your safety
depends on following all warnings and precautions as
well as proper operation of the saw. Check lower guard
for proper closing before each use as outlined in
Additional Safety Rules for Circular Saws. If the lower
blade guard is missing or not working properly,
immediately discontinue use of the saw, and take it to
a qualified service dealer for possible repair.
WARNING
:
To minimize the risk of eye injury, always use eye protection. Carbide is a hard
but brittle material. Foreign objects in the work piece such as wire or nails can cause tips to crack
or break. Only operate saw when proper saw blade guard is in place. Mount blade securely in
proper rotation before using, and always use a clean, sharp blade.
WARNING
:
Do not cut ferrous metals (steel), masonry, glass or tile with this saw.
A dull blade will cause slow, inefficient cutting overload on the saw motor, excessive splintering,
and could increase the possibility of kickback.
