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 blade 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. Prior to use, the check lower
guard operation by manually opening the guard using
the lower guard blade retracting lever then releasing
it from the fully open position. If the guard does not
operate smoothly, close quickly or completely then
do not use the saw and contact your D
center for repairs. 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.

the saw blade, which makes the slot or "kerf" cut by the
moving blade fall to the right of the indicator. Guide along
the penciled cutting line so that the kerf falls into the waste
or surplus material. To adjust the kerf indicator

support of the saw. Maintain a firm grip with both hands on
the saw and position your body and arm to allow you to resist
kickback if it occurs. ALWAYS TURN OFF TOOL AND REMOVE
BATTERY BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS!
Figure L shows proper sawing position. Note that hands
are kept away from cutting area. To avoid kickback,
DO support board or panel NEAR the cut (Fig. M). DON'T
