THE LOWER RETRACTABLE BLADE
GUARD PROVIDES OPERATOR PROTECTION IN AN
LATERAL DIRECTION TO THE SAW BLADE. CARE
MUST BE TAKEN TO ELIMINATE POTENTIAL
HAZARDS OF THE LOWER BLADE GUARD.
A) KEEP YOUR HANDS AWAY FROM THE GUARD.
As the blade cuts, the guard will rise and leave part of
the blade exposed.
B) SHUT OFF POWER BEFORE FREEING A
JAMMED LOWER GUARD. The guard can get jammed
in previous kerfs in table or fence. Always anticipate the
path of the guard and blade.
C) USE CAUTION when making bevel cuts to be sure
the lower guard is never pinched towards 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 power
source, wait for the blade to stop, then lift the blade
guard and rest it on top of the fence.
