BLADE GUARD SYSTEM
The lower blade guard attached to your trim 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 your saw until the
damage has been repaired or replaced. Always leave
guard in operating position when using saw.
DANGER:
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. See Figure 7.

Never use saw when guard is not operating correctly.
Guard should be checked for correct operation before
each use. If you drop your saw, check the lower blade
guard and bumper for damage at all depth settings
before reuse. Note: The guard is operating correctly
when it moves freely and readily returns to the closed
position. If for any reason your lower blade guard
does not close freely, take it to the nearest Sears Parts
and Repair Center for service before using.
