BLADE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
(Fig. 8a-8d)
CAUTION:
To prevent personal injury, always turn
saw OFF and disconnect the plug from the power source
before changing blades.
WARNING:
Blade teeth are sharp. Be careful when
handling the blade.
PIN-END BLADE (Fig. 8a-8b)
WARNING:
When installing pin-end blades, the
slot on the blade holder must be slightly wider than
the thickness of the blade. After the blade is installed, the
blade tension lever will keep it in place.
Pin-end blades are thicker for stability and for faster
assembly. They provide faster cutting on a variety of
materials.
• Unplug the saw.
• Release the blade tension by lifting up the blade tension
lever (A).
To remove a blade:
• Lift the saw blade (B) out by pulling forward on blade,
then lifting the blade from the upper blade holder (C) and
lower blade holder (D). Slight downward pressure against
the upper arm may be helpful when removing blade from
upper blade holder.
To install a blade:
• Place the new blade through the opening in the table
insert with the teeth to the front of the saw and pointing
down toward the work table.
• Hook the new blade in the recess of the lower blade holder (D).
• Pull up on the blade, press down on the upper arm and position the upper end of the blade in the slot on
the upper holder (C).
CAUTION:
Make sure the blade is properly located in the blade holders.
• Push down the blade tension lever (A).
• Adjust the blade tension by turning the blade tension lever. Turn it clockwise will increase blade tension and
turn it counterclockwise will reduce blade tension.
Note: when blade is too tight or not installed, it may viberate.
CAUTION:
Adjust the blade tension after pushing down the blade tension lever. If not done, blade may break.
