3) LOWER GUARD FUNCTION
a) Check lower guard for proper closing before each
use. Do not operate the saw if lower guard does not
move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie
the lower guard into the open position. If the saw is
accidentally dropped, lower guard may be bent. Raise
the lower guard with the retracting handle and make sure
it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other
part, in all angles and depths of cut.
b) Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If
the guard and the spring are not operating properly,
they must be serviced before use. Lower guard
may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy
deposits, or a build-up of debris.
c) Lower guard should be retracted manually only for
special cuts such as plunge cuts and compound
cuts. Raise lower guard by retracting handle and as
soon as blade enters the material, the lower guard
must be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard
should operate automatically.
d) Always observe that the lower guard is covering
the blade before placing the saw down on bench
or floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the
saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be
aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch
is released.
