If the cut fails to properly followyour intended cut line, do not attempt to turn or force thetool back to the cut line. Doing so may bind the blade andlead to dangerous kickback and possible serious injury.Release switch, wait for blade to stop and then withdrawtool. Realign tool on new cut line, and start cut again.Attempt to avoid positioning which exposes operator tochips and wood dust being ejected from saw.

While opening the lowerguard, move the rear of base so that the distance A and Bare equal. After adjusting, tighten the screw. Make a testcut to get a correct parallelism.Replacing carbon brushes (Fig. 29)Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly. Replacewhen they wear down to the limit mark. Keep the carbonbrushes clean and free to slip in the holders. Both carbonbrushes should be replaced at the same time.
