The lower blade guard is attached to the saw for your
protection. Should the lower guard become damaged,
do not use the saw until the damaged guard has been
replaced. Develop a regular check to make sure the
lower guard is working properly. Clean the lower guard
of any dust or buildup with a damp cloth.

If blowing sawdust, wear proper eye protection to
keep debris from blowing into eyes.
