SAW BLADES
The best of saw blades will not cut efficiently if they are not
kept clean, sharp, and properly set. Using a dull blade will
place a heavy load on the saw and increase the danger of
kickback. Keep extra blades on hand, so that sharp blades
are always available.
Gum and wood pitch hardened on blades will slow the saw
down. Use gum and pitch remover, hot water, or kerosene to
remove these accumulations. DO NOT USE GASOLINE.
BLADE GUARD SYSTEM
See Figure 7.
The lower blade guard attached to your cordless circular
saw is there for your protection and safety. It should never
be altered for any reason. If it becomes damaged or begins
to return slow or sluggish, do not operate the saw until the
damage has been repaired or replaced. Always leave guard
in operating position when using saw.
DANGER:
When sawing through workpiece, lower blade
guard does not cover blade on the underside of
workpiece. Since blade is exposed on underside
of workpiece, keep hands and fingers away from
cutting area. Any part of your body coming in
contact with moving blade will result in serious
injury.

CAUTION:
Never use saw when guard is not operating
correctly. Check the guard for correct operation
before each use. The guard is operating correctly
when it moves freely and readily returns to the
closed position. If you drop the saw, check the
lower blade guard and bumper for damage at all
depth settings before reuse.
