TELESCOPING GUARD
WARNING: The telescoping guard (A), Fig. 3, is a safety device important to your protection. Everytime you use the saw, see that the telescoping guard rotates freely and returns quickly and completely to its closed position. Frequently check the retracting spring (B), Fig. 3, to see that it is functional and free of foreign matter. At least once a month, remove any accumulated sawdust, pitch, etc. from the area around the hub (C) of the telescoping guard, and add a few drops of light machine oil at each end of the hub. NEVER block or wedge the telescoping guard in the open position.
CAUTION: 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
TO ADJUST DEPTH OF CUT FOR NORMAL CUTTING
It is recommended that the depth of cut be adjusted so that the saw blade just protrudes through the thickness of material being cut. Adjust depth of cut as follows:
1.CAUTION: DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.
2.Lift up depth adjusting locking lever (A), Fig. 4, at rear of saw.
3.Raise or lower saw housing until the blade extends the desired distance below base.
NOTE: The depth adjusting segment (B) Fig. 4 is marked in 1/8" increments for convenience in setting depth of cut. Aligning required marking with lower edge of housing will produce approximate depth of cut desired.
