DIAMOND BLADE INSTALLATION
NOTE:
1. When installing the blade retaining-bolt, ensure the threads of the bolt are
aligned with the threads of the drive shaft so as not to "cross-thread" the bolt.
2. When installing the blade ensure that the blade shaft and flanges are free from dirt
and all foreign material before mounting blade on the blade shaft. Tightening a blade
against an uneven surface can cause fracture or cause the blade to run out of alignment.
3. Blade shaft threads are left-handed on the right side of the saw and right-hand on the
left of the saw.

Open the Blade Guard Cover.
Locate the Blade Shaft Nut and the
Outer Flange.
(D)

Blade Shaft and Drive Pin. Ensure
directional arrow on the blade indi-
cates proper rotational direction.
CAUTION
Diamond Blades improperly used are dangerous. Comply with American National Standards Institute
Safety Code, B7.1 and, Occupational Safety and Health Act covering Speed, Safety Guards, Flanges,
Mounting Procedures, General Operating Rules, Handling, Storage and General Machine Conditions.

Loosen the Blade Shaft Nut while
holding the Shaft Wrench steady.
