Gum and wood pitch that have hardened
on the blades will slow the saw
down.
Use gum and pitch remover,
hot water or kerosene to remove these
accumulations.
DO NOT USE GASOLINE.
,_IL WARNING:
A blade diameter
of 5 1/2 in. is the maximum
blade capacity
of
your saw. A blade diameter
greater than 5 1/2 in. will come in contact
with the
blade guards. 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.
BLADE GUARD SYSTEM
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 blade
guard has been repaired
or replaced.
Always leave the guard in its correct
operating
position
when using the saw.
,_
DANGER:
When sawing through
a workpiece,
the lower blade guard does
not cover the blade on the underside
of the workpiece.
Since the blade is
exposed
on the underside
of the workpiece,
keep hands and fingers away from
the cutting
area. Any part of your body coming
in contact with a moving blade
will result in serious injury.
_,
WARNING:
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 that the lower blade guard and bumper for damage at all depth
settings
before using.

WARNING:
When using the saw, always stay alert and exercise control.
Do
not remove the saw from the workpiece
while the blade is moving.
KICKBACK
(Fig. 4)
Kickback
occurs
when the blade stalls rapidly and the saw is driven back
towards
you. Blade stalling is caused by any action that pinches the blade in
the wood. To avoid kickback,
release the trigger switch immediately
if the blade
binds or saw stalls. Kickback
could cause you to lose control of the saw.
Loss of control can lead to serious injury.
