THE LOWER RETRACTABLE BLADE GUARD PROVIDES OPERATOR PROTECTION IN AN LATERAL DIRECTION TO THE SAW BLADE. CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO ELIMINATE POTENTIAL HAZARDS OF THE LOWER BLADE GUARD.

A)KEEP YOUR HANDS AWAY FROM THE GUARD. As the blade cuts, the guard will rise and leave part of the blade exposed.

B)SHUT OFF POWER BEFORE FREEING A JAMMED LOWER GUARD. The guard can get jammed in previous kerfs in table or fence. Always anticipate the path of the guard and blade.

C)USE CAUTION when making bevel cuts to be sure the lower guard is never pinched towards the blade.

D)THE LOWER GUARD CAN JAM AGAINST THE FENCE DURING NARROW IN-RIPS. Should the guard jam against the fence, disconnect the saw from power source, wait for the blade to stop, then lift the blade guard and rest it on top of the fence.
