WARNING: For your own safety, lower blade or other cutting tool below table surface. (If blade is tilted, return it to vertical, 90°, position.) Always lock the switch “OFF”.

16.Blade Guard

Use the sawblade guard, spreader and anti-kickback pawls for any thru- sawing (whenever the blade comes through the top of the workpiece). Make sure the anti-kickback pawls work properly. Make sure the spreader is in line with sawblade. (See “Aligning Blade Guard” section) To remove the guard for special operations, loosen the blade guard locking knob. Do not disturb the set- ting of the spreader bracket.

When replacing the guard, position the two (2) locator pins on the blade guard into the matching holes in the cradle. Securely tighten the blade guard locking knob.
