Blade Guard
WARNING
 DO NOT operate the saw with the blade guard
raised or removed.
 DO NOT remove the blade guard with the
engine running.
 Blade exposure when cutting should not
exceed 180°.
 Always pivot the front of the blade guard 180°
(fully upward) and secure with pin so the
guard does not swing down unexpectedly,
causing serious injuries.
The blade guard shields the blade and must always
be in place when operating the saw. Be sure to use
a guard that matches the blade size.
Installing the Blade Guard
1. Regularly inspect the blade guard water tubes
for cuts, slurry, and/or debris. Clean them using
a wire brush or replace the tubes as necessary.
2. Place the tapered mount from one side of the
blade guard down onto the tapered blade guard
mount on the frame base.

into the tapered blade guard mount hole.
4. For the 36-42” blade guards; place the blade
guard cap screw through the hole on the rear
side (facing away from the saw) of the blade
guard, and then tighten the screw into the
threaded hole on the side of the frame base.
