changing the circular saw blade

The Blade comes installed on the Cir-
cular Saw, but replacement Blades will
need to be installed when the blade gets
dull or is damaged. To replace the Blade:
1. Place the unit on a flat, hard horizontal
bench or table.
2. Secure the Blade in place by depressing
the Self-Locking Button (A28-1). Use the
Hex Wrench (A45) (not shown in Figure
A1) to remove the Bolt (A1), unthreading
in a clockwise direction.
3. Move the Lower Guard (A7) out of the
way, remove the Washer (A2) and Saw
Blade (A3) and replace with a new
5-1/2" blade rated to at least 4,000 RPM.
Blade rotation must match up with the
direction arrow on the Lower Guard (A7)
of the Saw. The Blade's teeth must be
facing upwards.
4. Replace the Washer (A2) and Bolt (A1)
and tighten securely, rethreading in a
counterclockwise direction.

set the cutting angle

The cutting angle of the saw can be
adjusted from a standard vertical cut, up
to a 50° angled left cut. To adjust the cut-
ting angle of the Saw:
1. Loosen the Angle Adjustment Knob
(A38).
2. Pivot the Base Plate (A36) to the desired
cutting angle, using the measurements
on the Angle Plate as a guide.
3. Tighten the Angle Adjustment Knob
(A38) to hold the Base Plate (A36) at the
desired angle.
