SPECIFIC PRECAUTIONS FOR CIRCULAR SAWS
•Disconnect plug from power supply before changing blades,
making cutting depth or cutting angle adjustments, inspect-
ing, cleaning or when saw is not being used.
• CAUTION: Do not use dull or damaged blades.
• DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area and blades.
•Keep blade guards in place and in working order.
•Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position.
•Raise the lower guard only with the Lower Guard Lift
Lever.
•Do not run the saw while carrying it at your side.
•_Check lower guard for proper closing before
each use. If saw is accidently dropped, lower guard may be
bent. Raise the lower guard with the Lower Guard Lift
Lever to make sure it moves freely and does not tQuch the
blade in all angles and depths of cut. Do not operate saw if
lower guard does not function properly.
• Secure wood before sawing; never hold pieces for cutting
in your hand or across your legs.
• Keep second hand on motor housing not near blade. Do
not attempt to remove cut material when blade is moving.
•Make certain depth and bevel adjusting locking levers are
tight and secure before making cut.
• Always observe that the lower guard is in the blade covering
position before placing saw down on bench or floor.
• When operating the saw. keep the cord away from the cut-
ting area and position it so that it will not be caught on the
work piece during the cutting operation.
• _'_It is important to support the work properly
and to hold the saw firmly to prevent loss of control which
could cause personal injury. Figures on pages 4 and 5
illustrate typical hand support of the saw".
Be aware that kickback can occur at any time.
