unplug saw.

to loosen blade nut. Note: Arbor shaft has
left-hand threads. Turn nut clockwise to
loosen.
4. Remove nut, blade collar, and blade.
Install ne_ blade, making sure that arrow is
on outside and points clockwise.
5. Re-install blade collar and nut. Note: Do
not overtighten nut because this can cause
blade collar to warp and blade to wobble
during cutting.

Lubricating Blade Guard Assembly
If guard becomes difficult to raise:
1. Clean sawdust from the slot and slider.
2. Regrease with a small amount of light
grease applied to the slot and slider. Also
add a thin coat of grease between the
Trigger and the Pull Link.

adjust the setscrews at the top of the Yoke
Handle. Use a 1/8" hex wrench to tighten
setscrews tight. Then back off one setscrew
