BLADE GUARD SYSTEM
The lower blade guard attached to the circular saw is there for your protection and safety.
Do not alter it for any reason. If it becomes damaged, do not operate the saw until you
have the guard repaired or replaced. Always leave guard in operating position when using
the saw.
DANGER:
When sawing through work, lower blade guard does not cover blade on the underside of
work. Since blade is exposed on underside of work, keep hands and fingers away from
cutting area. Any part of your body coming in contact with moving blade will result in
serious injury.
CAUTION:
Never use saw when guard is not operating correctly. Check the guard for correct operation
before each use. The guard is operating correctly when it moves freely and readily returns
to the closed position. If you drop the saw, check the lower blade guard and bumper for
damage at all depth settings before reuse.
