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.

If the see-through blade guard becomes dirty, or saw-
dust adheres to it in such a way that the blade and/or
workpiece 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 because this may cause damage to the
guard.
If the blade guard becomes dirty and needs to be
cleaned for proper operation follow the steps below:
With the tool switched off and unplugged, use the sup-
plied socket wrench to loosen the hex bolt holding the
center cover. Loosen the hex bolt by turning it counter-
clockwise and raise the blade guard and center cover.
