check the condition and operation of the lower blade
guard to assure that it is working properly. Make sure it
moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other
part, in all angles and depths of cut.

Blades
CAUTION: Burn hazard. Do not touch the the blade
immediately after use. Contact with the blade may
result in personal injury.
WARNING: To minimize the risk of eye injury, always
use eye protection. Carbide is a hard but brittle
material. Foreign objects in the workpiece such as wire
or nails can cause tips to crack or break. Only operate
saw when proper saw blade guard is in place. Mount
blade securely in proper rotation before using, and
always use a clean, sharp blade.
WARNING: Do not cut ferrous and or non-ferrous
metals (steel), glass, masonry-type planking, or tile
with this saw.
Do not use abrasive wheels or blades. A dull blade will
cause slow inefficient cutting, overload on the saw motor,
excessive splintering, and could increase the possibility of
kickback. Please refer to the table below to determine the
correct size replacement blade for your model saw.
