INSTALLING THE BLADE
See Figures 1 - 4, page 18.
WARNING:
A 6-1/2 in. blade is the maximum blade capacity of
the saw. Never use a blade that is too thick to allow
outer blade washer to engage with the recesses on
the inner blade washer. Larger blades will come in
contact with the blade guard, while thicker blades
will prevent blade screw from securing blade on
spindle. Either of these situations could result in a
serious accident.
 Remove the battery pack from the saw.
 Remove the large wrench from the storage area.
NOTE: Two wrenches are included with the saw, a small
one for the track and a large one for the blade.
 Place the plunge control lever in the blade change
position.
 Press and lower the depth of cut button to the lowest
setting on the depth of cut scale.
 Grasp the front handle and apply downward pressure to
expose the blade screw. In this position, the saw cannot
be lowered or raised.
