14. Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking
levers must be tight and secure before
making cut. If blade adjustment shifts while
cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.
15. Use extra caution when making a "plunge cut"
into existing walls or other blind areas. The
protruding blade may cut objects that can cause
kickback. For plunge cuts, retract lower guard
using retracting handle.
Lower guard function
16. Check lower guard for proper closing before
each use. Do not operate the tool if lower
guard does not move freely and close
instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard
into the open position. If tool is accidentally
dropped, lower guard may be bent. Raise the
lower guard with the retracting lever and make
sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade
or any 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. Always use blades recommended in this
manual. Do not use any abrasive wheels.
