    ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS WARNING! To avoid injury from accidental startups, be sure that the tool is switched OFF and the battery is removed from the tool before inspecting the unit, making adjustments, or changing accessories. INSTALLING/REPLACING THE SAW BLADE Use saw blades with 4-1/2 inch (115mm) diameter and 3/8 inch (9.53mm) arbor. Do not use a blade that does not match the diameter or arbor size.
