other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
17. Check the operation and condition 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 buildup of debris.
18. Lower guard may 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.
19.
Always observe that the lower guard is covering
the blade before placing tool down on bench or
floor.
An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the
tool 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.
20. To check lower guard, open lower guard by
hand, then release and watch guard closure.
Also check to see that retracting handle does
not touch tool housing. Leaving blade exposed
is VERY DANGEROUS and can lead to serious
personal injury.
Additional safety warnings
21. Do not stop the blades by lateral pressure on
the blade.
22. DANGER:
Do not attempt to remove cut material when
blade is moving.
CAUTION: Blades coast after turn off.
23. Place the wider portion of the tool base on
that part of the workpiece which is solidly
supported, not on the section that will fall off
when the cut is made.
24. Never attempt to make a cut with the tool held
upside down in a vise. This is extremely
dangerous and can lead to serious accidents.
25. Wear safety goggles and hearing protection
during operation.
26. Do not use any abrasive wheels.
27. Only use the blade with the diameter that is
marked on the tool or specified in the manual.
Use of an incorrectly sized blade may affect the
proper guarding of the blade or guard operation
which could result in serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING:
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
