Blade guard

► 1 . Blade guard
When lowering the handle, the blade guard rises auto-
matically. The guard is spring loaded so it returns to
its original position when the cut is completed and the
handle is raised.
WARNING:
guard or the spring which attaches to the guard.
An exposed blade as a result of defeated guarding
may result in serious personal injury during operation.
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.
WARNING:
guard or spring are damaged, faulty or removed.
Operation of the tool with a damaged, faulty or
removed guard may result in serious personal injury.
If the see-through blade guard 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 guard
carefully with a damp cloth. Do not use solvents or any petro-
leum-based cleaners on the plastic guard because this may
cause damage to the guard.
If the blade guard is especially dirty and vision through the
guard is impaired, unplug the tool and use the supplied
wrench to loosen the hex bolt holding the center cover.
Loosen the hex bolt by turning it counterclockwise 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. If guard becomes discolored through age or UV light
exposure, contact a Makita service center for a new guard.
DO NOT DEFEAT OR REMOVE GUARD.
