TELESCOPING GUARD
WARNING: The telescoping guard (A) Fig. 3, is a safety device
important to your protection. Every time you use the saw, see that
the telescoping guard rotates freely and returns quickly and
completely to its closed position. At least once a month, remove any
accumulated sawdust, pitch, etc., from the area around the hub (B),
of the telescoping guard. DO NOT LUBRICATE THIS AREA. The hub
has a dry film lubricated surface that does not need oiling. NEVER
block or wedge the telescoping guard in the open position.
CAUTION: NEVER
use your saw if the
telescoping guard is
not in working order.
If telescoping guard
movement is sluggish
or binding exists,
return the saw to
your nearest

TO ADJUST DEPTH OF CUT FOR NORMAL CUTTING
It is recommended that the depth of cut be adjusted so that the saw blade
just protrudes through the thickness of material being cut. Adjust depth of
cut as follows:
1. CAUTION: DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.
2. Lift up depth adjustment locking lever (A) Fig. 4, at rear of saw.
3. Raise or lower saw housing until the blade extends the desired distance
below base.
NOTE: The upper guard (B) Fig. 4, is marked in
1
/4" increments for
convenience in setting depth of cut. Align the depth segment mark
(C) Fig. 4, with the desired depth marking on the guard.
4. Press depth adjusting locking lever down firmly locking saw in selected
position.
