3, counterclockwise (as viewed from the front of the saw).
4. Insert the blade into the clamp until it bottoms. Allow the release collar to
rotate clockwise to lock the blade in place, (A) Fig. 4.
5. To remove blade: repeat steps 1 through 3, and pull blade from blade
clamp (while the release collar is being held in the open position).
NEVER TOUCH BLADE IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE, AS IT MAY
BE EXTREMELY HOT.
NOTES: If the blade clamp collar resists rotation to remove a blade,
work the blade up and down while rotating the clamp (in a counter-
clockwise direction).
If the blade breaks leaving nothing to grasp (to pull it from the
clamp), it may be necessary to
use another blade as a tool to aid
in removing the broken piece (see
Fig. 5). While holding the release
collar in the open position, use
the tip of another blade to "hook"
the broken piece and pull it from
the clamp. (A thin, fine-toothed,
metal-cutting blade works best.)
Periodically clean the blade
clamp with dry compressed
air. DO NOT lubricate the blade
clamp. Lubricant can attract contamination.
WEAR ANSI Z87.1 SAFETY GLASSES WHILE USING
COMPRESSED AIR.
