TELESCOPING GUARD
The telescoping guard (A) Fig. 3, is a safety device important to your protection. Every time you use the saw, see that the telescoping guard rotates freely and returns quickly and completely to its closed position. At least once a month, remove any accumulated sawdust, pitch, etc., from the area around the hub (B), of the telescoping guard. DO NOT LUBRICATE THIS AREA. The hub has a dry film lubricated surface that does not need oiling. NEVER block or wedge the telescoping guard in the open position.
NEVER use your saw if the telescoping guard is not in working order. If telescoping guard movement is sluggish or binding exists, return the saw to your nearest AUTHORIZED
