Blade guard
WARNING:
Never defeat or remove the blade
guard or the spring which is attached to the
guard. An exposed circular saw 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 is 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
automatically. 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 saw-
dust adheres to the transparent blade guard in such
a way that the circular saw blade and/or workpiece is
no longer easily visible, unplug the tool 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.

Positioning kerf boards
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 that the tool is unplugged. Then, loosen
all the screws (three each on left and right) securing the
kerf boards.

boards can still be easily moved by hand.
3.
Lower the handle fully, then lock the handle in the
lowered position with the stopper pin.
4.
Loosen thumb screw on the arm which secures
the sliding movement of the carriage.
Pull the carriage toward you fully.
