Blade guard

WARNING:
Never defeat or remove the blade
guard or the spring which attaches to the guard.
An exposed blade as a result of defeated guarding
may result in serious personal injury during operation.
WARNING:
Never use the tool if the blade
guard or spring are damaged, faulty or removed.
Operation of the tool with a damaged, faulty or
removed guard may result in serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
Always maintain the blade guard
in good condition for safe operation. Stop the
operation immediately if there are any irregularity
of the blade guard. Check to assure spring loaded
return action of guard.
When lowering the handle, the blade guard raises automat-
ically. The guard is spring loaded so it returns to its original
position when the cut is completed and the handle is raised.

Cleaning
If the transparent blade guard becomes dirty, or sawdust
adheres to it in such a way that the blade and/or workpiece
is no longer easily visible, remove the battery cartridge and
clean the guard carefully with a damp cloth. Do not use
solvents or any petroleum-based cleaners on the plastic
guard because this may cause damage to the guard.
Follow the step-by-step instructions listed on how to
prepare for cleaning.
1. Make sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed.
2. Turn the hex socket bolt counterclockwise using
the supplied hex wrench with holding the center cover.
3. Raise the blade guard and center cover.
4. When cleaning is complete, return the center
cover and tighten the hex socket bolt by performing the
steps above in reverse.
5. Make sure to return the circular saw blade and
center cover to their original positions and tighten the
hex socket bolt.

Positioning kerf board
This tool is provided with the kerf boards in the turn
base to minimize tearing on the exit side of a cut. The
kerf boards are factory adjusted so that the circular saw
blade does not contact the kerf boards. Before use,
adjust the kerf boards as follows:
1. Make sure to remove the battery cartridge. Then,
loosen all the screws (three each on left and right)
securing the kerf boards.

2. Re-tighten them only to the extent that the kerf
boards can still be easily moved by hand.
3. Lower the handle fully, then pull and turn the stop-
per pin to lock the handle in the lowered position.
4.
Pull and turn the stopper pin on the slide pole to
allow the carriage sliding.
