The lower retractable blade guard provides operator protection along the sides of the sawblade. To reduce the risk of
potential hazards, use the following rules:
A)
KEEP YOUR HANdS AWAY FROM THE gUARd. As the blade cuts, the guard will lift and leave part of the blade
exposed.
B)
SHUT OFF THE POWER BEFORE FREEINg A JAMMEd LOWER gUARd. The guard can get jammed in previous
kerfs in the table or fence. Always anticipate the path of the guard.
C)
USE CAUTION when making bevel cuts to ensure that the lower guard is never pinched toward the blade.
D)
THE LOWER gUARd CAN JAM AgAINST THE FENCE dURINg NARROW IN-RIPS. Should the guard jam against
the fence, disconnect the saw from the power, wait for the blade to stop, then lift the blade guard and rest it on
top of the fence.
