Bench mounting

When the tool is shipped, the handle is locked in the lowered position by the
006945
stopper pin. Release the stopper pin by lowering the handle slightly and pulling
the stopper pin.
This tool should be bolted with two bolts to a level and stable surface using the
006946
bolt holes provided in the tool's base. This will help prevent tipping and possi-
ble injury.
Turn the adjusting bolt clockwise or counterclockwise so that it comes into a
006947
contact with the floor surface to keep the tool stable.
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before
adjusting or checking function on the tool.
Blade guard
006992
When lowering the handle, the blade guard rises automatically. 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,
1
FAULTY OR REMOVED. DOING SO IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS 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.
