OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
Never use the saw when the lower blade guard is not operating properly. The lower blade
guard should be checked for correct operation before each use. If you drop your saw, check
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.
Saw blades
Even the best of saw blades will not cut efciently unless it is kept clean, sharp and properly set. Using a
dull blade places a heavy load on the saw and increases the danger of kickback. Keep extra blades on hand,
so sharp blades are always available. Gum and wood pitch hardened on the blade slows the saw down. Use
gum and pitch remover, hot water or kerosene to remove them. Do not use gasoline.
WARNING!
Always remove the battery pack from the saw when assembling parts, changing blades and
making adjustments. Failure to obey this warning could cause serious personal injury.
