305mm SLIDING COMPOUND MITRE SAW
7. Replacing / installing a Blade
• WARNING: Never attempt to use a blade larger than the stated capacity of the saw (10"). It will come
into contact with the blade guards and housing.
• Never use a blade that is too thick to allow the outer blade flflange to engage with the flats on the
spindle. It will prevent the blade bolt from properly securing the blade on the spindle.
• Do not use this saw to cut metal or masonry.
1. Make sure that the power cord is removed from the main power supply.
2. Push down on the saw arm and pull and turn the saw head release knob to disengage the saw head.

way. Unscrew and remove pan head screw (C) which fixes the guard plate and lower blade guard to the
upper blade guard.
5. Once pan head screw (C) is removed, swing the guard plate and lower blade guard upwards to allow
access to the blade bolt as shown in Fig.23.

the spindle locks.

as the blade bolt has a left hand thread.

direction of the blade rotation is also stamped with an arrow on the upper blade guard.
