INSTALLATION
Positioning the tool
► Fig.1: 1. Hook
When the tool is shipped from the factory, the handle is
locked. Release the handle from the lowered position
by lowering it slightly and removing the chain from the
hook on the handle.
Bolt the tool with two bolts to a level and stable surface
using the bolt holes provided in the tool base. This will
help prevent tipping and possible injury.

FUNCTIONAL
DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
•
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function
on the tool.
Blade guard
► Fig.3: 1. Blade guard
When lowering the handle, the blade guard rises auto-
matically. The guard is spring loaded so it returns to
its original position when the cut is completed and the
handle is raised. NEVER DEFEAT OR REMOVE THE
BLADE GUARD OR THE SPRING WHICH ATTACHES
TO THE GUARD.
In the interest of your personal safety, always maintain
the blade guard in good condition. Any irregular opera-
tion of the blade guard should be corrected immediately.
Check to assure spring loaded return action of guard.
NEVER USE THE TOOL IF THE BLADE GUARD OR
SPRING IS DAMAGED, FAULTY OR REMOVED.
DOING SO IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AND CAN
CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
If the blade guard is especially dirty, use the supplied
socket wrench to loosen the hex bolt holding the center
cover. Loosen the hex bolt by turning it counterclock-
wise and raise the blade guard and center cover. With
the blade guard so positioned, cleaning can be more
completely and efficiently accomplished. When cleaning
is complete, reverse procedure above and secure bolt.
Do not remove spring holding blade guard. DO NOT
DEFEAT OR REMOVE GUARD.
