The lower blade guard attached to the trim saw is there
for your protection and safety. It should never be altered
for any reason. If it becomes damaged or begins to return
slow or sluggish, do not operate the saw until the damage
has been repaired or replaced. Always leave guard in
operating position when using saw.
,_ DANGER: When sawing through workpiece, lower
blade guard does not cover blade on the underside
of workpiece. Since blade is exposed on undersideof
workpiece, keep hands and fingers away from cutting
area. Any part of your body coming in contact with
moving blade will result in serious injury.
Never use saw when guard is not operating correctly.
Guard should be checked for correct operation before each
use. if you drop the saw, check the lower blade guard and
bumper for damage at all depth settings before reuse.
NOTE: The guard is operating correctly when it moves
freely and readily returns to the closed position. If for any
reason the lower blade guard does not close freely, take
it to the nearest Sears Service Center for service before
using.
