e) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking
levers must be tight and secure before making
a cut. If the blade adjustment shifts while cutting
it may cause binding and kickback.
f) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking
levers must be tight and secure before

shifts while cutting, it may cause binding
and kickback.
g) Use extra caution when sawing into
existing walls or other blind areas. The
protruding blade may cut objects that can
cause kickback.
LOWER GUARD FUNCTION
a) Check the lower guard for proper closing
before each use. Do not operate the saw if
the lower guard does not move freely and
close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower
guard into the open position. If the saw is
accidentally dropped, the 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) The lower guard may be retracted
manually only for special cuts such as
“plunge cuts and ”and “compound cuts”.
Raise the lower guard by the retracting
handle and as soon as the 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 the 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.
