Safety cover
When
lowering the handle,
the
safety
cover rises automatically. The cover returns
to its original position when the cut is com-
pleted and the handle is raised. NEVER
DEFEAT OR
REMOVE THE SAFETY
COVER. In the interest of your personal
safety, always maintain the safety cover in
good condition. Any irregular operation of
the safety cover should be corrected imme-
diately. NEVER USE THE TOOL WITH A
FAULTY SAFETY COVER. If the see-
through safety cover becomes dirty, or
sawdust adheres to it in such a way that
the blade and/or workpiece is no longer

easily visible, unplug the saw and clean the cover carefully with a damp cloth. Do not use
solvents or any petroleum-based cleaners on the plastic cover
Dust bag
The use of the dust bag makes cutting
operations clean and dust collection easy.
To attach the dust bag, insert the dust
nozzle into the dust spout on the blade
case and fit the bag's entry port over the
dust nozzle.
When the dust bag is about half full,
remove the dust bag from the tool and pull
the fastener out. Empty the dust bag of its
contents, tapping it lightly so as to remove
particles adhering to the insides which
might hamper further collection.

NOTE:
If you connect a vacuum cleaner to your saw, more efficient and cleaner operations can be
performed.
