When lowering the handle, the blade guard rises automati-
cally. The guard is spring loaded so it returns to its original
position when the cut is completed and the handle is raised.
NEVER DEFEAT OR REMOVE THE BLADE GUARD OR
THE SPRING WHICH ATTACHES TO THE GUARD.
In the interest of your personal safety, always maintain the

blade guard in good condition. Any irregular operation of the
blade guard should be corrected immediately. Check to assure

spring loaded return action of guard. NEVER USE THE TOOL
IF THE BLADE GUARD OR SPRING ARE DAMAGED,
FAULTY OR REMOVED. DOING SO IS HIGHLY DANGER-
OUS AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
If the see-through blade guard becomes dirty, or sawdust
adheres to it in such a way that the blade is no longer easily

visible, unplug the saw and clean the guard carefully with a
damp cloth. Do not use solvents or any petroleum-based
cleaners on the plastic guard.
