Z_ WARNING:
A 71/4-inch blade is the maximum blade capacity of your saw. A
larger than 71t4-inch blade will come in contact with the blade guards_ Also, NEVER
use a blade that is so thick that it prevents the outer blade washer from engaging
with the flat side of the spindle, Blades that are too large or too thick can result in an
accident causing serious injury,
SAW BLADES
All saw blades need to be kept clean,
sharp and properly set in order to cut
efficiently Using a dull blade places a
heaw load on the saw and increases
the danger of kickback° Keep extra
blades on hand, so sharp blades are
always available. Gum and wood pitch
hardened on the blade slows the saw
down Use gum and pitch remover,
hot water or kerosene to remove
them DO NOT use gasoline

BLADE GUARD SYSTEM (Fig_ 3)
The lower blade guard, attached to
your circular saw, is there for your
protection and safety. It should
NEVER be altered for any reason.
If it becomes damaged or begins
to return slowly or sluggishly,
DO NOT operate your saw until the damage has been repaired or replaced.
ALWAYS leave the guard in its correct operating position when using the saw,
Lower Blade
Guard level is
in UP position
when making
a cut
Z_ CAUTIO N:
NEVER use the saw when the guard is not operating properly° The
guard should be checked for correct operation before each use. If you drop your saw,
check the lower blade guard and bumper for damage at all depth settings before using.
NOTE:The guard is operating properly when it moves freely and then readily returns to
the closed position. If for any reason your lower blade guard and bumper does not close
freely, take the saw to your nearest Sears Repair Center for service before using it.
