accidentally dropped, the lower guard may be 
bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting 
handle and make sure it moves freely and does 
not touch the blade or any other part, in all 
angles and depths of cut.
b) Check the operation of the lower guard 
spring. If the guard and the spring are not 
operating properly, they must be serviced 
before use. Lower guard may operate 
sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy 
deposits, or a build-up of debris.
c) The lower guard may be retracted 
manually only for special cuts such as 
“plunge cuts” and “compound cuts”. 
Raise the lower guard by the retracting 
handle and as soon as the blade enters the 
material, the lower guard must be released. 
For all other sawing, the lower guard should 
operate automatically.
d) Always observe that the lower guard is 
covering the blade before placing the saw 
down on bench or floor. An unprotected, 
coasting blade will cause the saw to walk 
backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be 
aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop 
after switch is released.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY
