TO ASSEMBLE BLADE:
See Figure 4.
WARNING:
A 5-1/2 in. blade is the maximum
blade capacity of your saw. Never use a blade that is
too thick to allow outer blade washer to engage with
the flats on the spindle. Larger blades will come in
contact with the blade guard, while thicker blades will
prevent blade screw from securing blade on spindle.
Either of these situations could result in a serious
accident.
Remove battery pack from saw.
WARNING:
Failure to remove battery pack from
saw could result in accidental starting causing
