When lowering the handle, the blade guard rises automat-
ically. 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 opera-
tion 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 IS DAMAGED, FAULTY OR REMOVED.
DOING SO IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AND CAN
CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
If the blade guard is especially dirty, use the supplied
socket wrench to loosen the hex bolt holding the center
cover. Loosen the hex bolt by turning it counterclock-
wise and raise the blade guard and center cover. With
the blade guard so positioned, cleaning can be more
completely and efficiently accomplished. When cleaning
is complete, reverse procedure above and secure bolt.
Do not remove spring holding blade guard. DO NOT
DEFEAT OR REMOVE GUARD.
