Installing A Blade - King Canada 8370 Instruction Manual

INSTALLING A BLADE

DANGER!
• Never try to use a blade larger than the stated capacity of the saw. It will come
into contact with the blade guards.
• Never use a blade that is too thick to allow the outer blade flange to engage
with the flats on the spindle. It will prevent the blade screw from properly
securing the blade on the spindle.
• Do not use the saw to cut metal or masonry.
1. Make sure that the electrical plug is removed from the main supply socket.
2. Push down on the saw arm and pull on the release knob to disengage the
saw arm.
3. Raise the saw arm to its highest position.
4. Remove cap screw (A) which secures the plate under the rotating blade
guard using the hex. key (B) supplied Fig.10.
5. Pull the plate and rotating guard down then swing it up over the upper blade
guard to allow access to the blade screw.
6. Hold the lower guard up and press the spindle lock button as shown in Fig.11
using one hand. Rotate the blade until the spindle locks.
7. Use the wrench provided to remove the blade screw Fig.11. (Loosen in a
clockwise direction as the blade screw has a left hand thread).
8. Remove the outer blade flange and the blade.
9. Wipe a drop of oil onto the inner blade flange (A) Fig.12 and the outer blade
flange removed just previously.
10. Fit the new blade onto the spindle taking care that the inner blade flange
(A) sits behind the blade Fig.12.
CAUTION: Always install the blade with the blade teeth (B) and the arrow
printed on the side of the blade pointing down. The direction of the blade
rotation is also stamped with an arrow on the upper blade guard. See Fig.12.
11. Replace the outer blade flange.
12. Depress the spindle lock and replace the blade screw.
13. Use the blade wrench to tighten the blade screw securely. (Counter-clock-
wise).
14. Hold the guard and plate in position and replace the cap screw removed in
step 4.
