ATTACHING THE BLADE
See Figure 1, page 13.
WARNING:
A 6-1/2 in. blade is the maximum blade capacity of the
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 secur-
ing blade on spindle. Either of these situations could
result in a serious accident.
