4. Slide blade 23 through slot in the foot
13 and mount it against the inner washer
30 on the shaft 29. Be sure the large
diameter of the outer washer 24 lays
flush against the blade (Fig. 2).
5. Reinstall outer washer and tighten blade
stud 25 finger tight in the direction b.
Press and hold lock button 10 to lock
shaft and TIGHTEN BLADE STUD
COUNTER-CLOCKWISE 1/4 TURN WITH
THE WRENCH PROVIDED (Fig. 2).
Do not use wrenches with longer handles,
since it may lead to over tightening of the
blade stud.
VARI-TORQUE CLUTCH
This clutching action is provided by the
friction of the outer washer 24 against the
blade 23 and permits the blade shaft to turn
when the blade encounters excessive
resistance. When the blade stud 25 is
properly tightened (as described in No. 5 of
Attaching The Blade), the blade will slip when
it encounters ex cessive resistance, thus
reducing saw's tendency to KICKBACK.
One setting may not be sufficient for
cutting all materials. If ex cessive blade
slippage occurs, tighten the blade stud one
mark more. OVERTIGHTENING THE BLADE
STUD NULLIFIES THE EFFECTIVENESS OF
THE CLUTCH.

Dust Extraction
To reduce the risk of
injury, always position
dust port and vacuum hose so that they
do not interfere with the lower guard, or
the cutting operation at all settings.
DUST PORT
The dust port 18 swivels so that dust can
be directed in the desired direction
(Fig. 3).
DUST BAG (sold separately)
Using Dust Bag – To attach the empty dust
bag 32, press-fit its coupler end into the
saw's dust port 18 (Fig. 3).
Cleaning Dust Bag – After the dust bag is
2/3 to 3/4 full, remove it from the saw.
Bring the bag to a proper container and
pull open the zipper located on the bottom
of the bag. Hold the bag by the coupler end
and shake it vigorously until all the dust
and debris fall from it. Close zipper and
reattach the bag.
NOTE: Clean the bag at the end of the
cutting session and before transporting or
storing the saw.
Be extremely careful
when disposing of dust.
