Lower Blade Guard

±

WARNING: The lower blade guard is a safety

feature which reduces the risk of serious

personal injury. Never use the saw if the lower

blade guard is missing, damaged, misassembled

or not working properly. Do not rely on the

lower blade guard to protect you under all

circumstances. Your safety depends on following

all warnings and precautions as well as proper

operation of the saw. Check lower blade guard

for proper closing before each use as outlined

in

Further Safety Instructions for All Saws

.

If the lower blade guard is missing or not

working properly, have the saw serviced before

using. To assure product safety and reliability,

repair, maintenance and adjustment should

be performed by an authorized service center

or other qualified service organization, always

using identical replacement parts.

Blades

±

WARNING:

To minimize the risk of eye injury, always

use eye protection. Carbide is a hard but brittle

material. Foreign objects in the workpiece such as wire

or nails can cause tips to crack or break. Only operate

saw when proper saw blade guard is in place. Mount

blade securely in proper rotation direction before

using, and always use a clean, sharp blade.

±

WARNING:

Do not cut metal, plastic, concrete,

masonry or fiber cement materials with this saw.

Do not use abrasive wheels or blades. A dull blade will

cause slow inefficient cutting, overload on the saw motor,

excessive splintering, and could increase the possibility of

kickback. Please refer to the table below to determine the

correct size replacement blade for your model saw.

Kickback

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or
