MAINTENANCE

The tool may be cleaned most effectively with compressed dry air. Always wear safety goggles when
cleaning tools with compressed air. Before each use:
Inspect the tool, the trigger switch.
Check for damaged, missing, or worn parts.
Check for loose screws, misalignment or binding of moving parts, or any other condition that may
affect the operation.
If abnormal vibration or noise occurs, turn the cordless tool off immediately, and have the problem
corrected before further use.
CHANGE THE BLADE (fig 20-21)
1. Remove the battery pack from the saw.
2. Loosen the depth-of-cut quick-adjustment lever. Raise
the saw to the maximum height and tighten the depth-
of-cut quick-adjustment lever. This practice allows
easier access to the blade mounting.
3. Depress the spindle-lock button, place the hex wrench
in the blade screw, and move it back and forth until you
feel the spindle-lock button depress further. This action
locks the blade in position so that the blade screw can
be removed (fig 20).
4. With the spindle-lock button firmly depressed, turn the blade screw clockwise to remove it.
5. Raise the lower blade guard with the lower-blade-guard lever and hold it in the raised position.
6. Remove the blade screw, the outer flange, and the blade (fig 21).
7. The inner flange, which fits around the output shaft, does not need to be removed.
8. Put a drop of good-quality machine oil onto the inner flange and the outer flange where they will contact the
blade.
9. Place a new saw blade inside the lower blade guard, onto the output shaft, and against the inner flange.
10. Replace the outer flange.
11. Depress and hold the spindle-lock button as you replace the blade screw and hand-tighten the screw in a
counter-clockwise direction. Use the hex wrench to tighten the blade screw securely.
