GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents
when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible
to damage from various types of commercial
solvents
and may be damaged
by
their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
_lk WARNING:
Do not at any time allow brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based
products, penetrating oils, etc. to come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can
damage, weaken or destroy plastic, which may result in serious personal injury.
_i,
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement
parts. Use of any
other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage. To ensure safety and
reliability, all repairs should be performed
by a qualified service technician.
CHANGING
THE BLADE
_,
WARNING:
A 5-1/2 inch blade is the maximum
blade capacity
of the saw.
Use only 5-1/2 inch blade when replacing
a worn or damaged
blade. Never use a
blade that is too thick to allow the outer blade washer to engage with the flats on
the spindle.
Thicker
blades will prevent the blade screw from securing
the blade
on the spindle,
resulting
in serious personal injury.
_,
WARNING:
Be sure to wear protective
work gloves while handling
a saw
blade. The blade can injure unprotected
hands.
1. Remove the battery
pack from the saw.
2.
Loosen the depth-of-cut
quick adjustment
clamp lever. Raise the saw to the
maximum
height and tighten the depth adjustment
clamp lever. This practice
allows easier access to the
blade mounting.
3.
Depress the spindle-lock
button, place the hex wrench
in the blade screw and move
it back and forth until you feel
the spindle lock button depress
further. This action locks the
blade in position so that the
blade screw can be removed
(Fig. 20).
4.
With the spindle
lock button
firmly depressed,
turn the
blade screw clockwise
to
remove it.
