Specific safety instructions for

Function of the blade guard
Before every use, check to ensure
a)
that the blade guard closes
properly. Do not use the saw if the
blade guard does not move freely
and does not close immediately.
Never jam or fasten the blade
guard; this would leave the saw
blade unprotected. If the saw is
accidentally dropped, the blade guard may
be bent. Ensure that the blade guard moves
freely and does not touch the saw blade or
other parts at any cutting angles or depths.
Check the condition and function
b)
of the spring for the blade guard.
Have the saw serviced before using
it if the blade guard and spring are
not working properly. Damaged parts,
sticky deposits or accumulations of chippings
can cause the lower blade guard to operate
slowly.

c)
not at right angles, secure the base
plate of the saw to prevent any
lateral movement. Lateral movement can
cause the saw blade to jam, thus causing a
kickback.
Do not leave the saw on the work
d)
bench or floor if the blade guard is
not fully covering the saw blade.
An unprotected, coasting saw blade will
move the saw in the opposite direction to the
cutting direction and saw anything in its path.
Always, take into account that the saw blade
takes some time to stop spinning.
