CHANGING A BLADE

DANGER! Never try to use a blade larger than the stated capacity of the saw. It
might come into contact with the blade guards. Never use a blade that is too thick
as it will prevent the blade screw from properly securing the blade on the spindle.
Do not use the saw to cut metal or masonry. Ensure that the spacers and spindle
rings suit the fitted spindle and blade.
