Blade guard

When lowering the handle, the blade guard rises automati-
cally. The blade guard returns to its original position when
the cut is completed and the handle is raised. NEVER
DEFEAT OR REMOVE THE BLADE GUARD.
In the interest of your personal safety, always maintain the
1
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 DAM-
AGED, 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.
