English

c) 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.

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.
