the
base, (in a plunge
action)
by
releasing
the blade guard release
lever
wh]ie holding the finger lift bracket
on the base, as you lower the saw's
handle
and blade to the selected depth,
When starling
and
while
making a cut,
the blade
is
always exposed in front of
and then underneath
the workpiece
When
the
blade clears the cut through
workpiece,
the
lower blade guard and
base will automatically
"drop" down
and the blade guard
release
lever will
engage
the upper blade guard, locking
the blade ABOVE
the base and
enclosing
the blade in the upper and
lower blade guard system,
