Lower Blade Guard


WARNING: The lower blade guard is a safety
feature which reduces the risk of serious
personal injury. Never use the saw if the lower
guard is missing, damaged, misassembled or not
working properly. Do not rely on the lower blade
guard to protect you under all circumstances.
Your safety depends on following all warnings
and precautions as well as proper operation of
the saw. Check lower guard for proper closing
before each use as outlined in Safety Instructions
for All Saws. If the lower blade guard is missing
or not working properly, have the saw serviced
before using. To assure product safety and
reliability, repair, maintenance and adjustment
should be performed by an authorized service
center or other qualified service organization,
always using identical replacement parts.
Blades

WARNING: To minimize the risk of eye injury, always
use eye protection. Carbide is a hard but brittle
material. Foreign objects in the work piece such as
wire or nails can cause tips to crack or break. Only
operate saw when proper saw blade guard is in place.
Mount blade securely in proper rotation before using,
and always use a clean, sharp blade.

WARNING: Do not cut metal, masonry, glass,
masonry-type planking, cement board, tile or plastic
with this saw.
Do not use abrasive wheels or blades. A dull blade will
cause slow, inefficient cutting resulting in overload to the
saw motor, excessive splintering and could increase the
possibility of kickback. Please refer to the following table
to determine the correct size replacement blade for your
model saw.

Kickback
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or
misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift
up and out of the workpiece toward the operator. When
the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing
down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the
