INSTALLING
THE BLADE
See Figures 2 - 3.
A
WARNING: A 7-1/4 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 securing blade on
spindle. Either of these situations could result in a
serious accident.
[] Remove the battery pack from the saw.
[] Remove the hex key from the storage area.
[] Depress and hold the spindle lock button and remove
the blade screw and outer blade washer.
NOTE: Turn the blade screw clockwise to remove.

WARNING: If the inner blade washer has been
removed, replace it before placing blade on spindle.
Failure to do so could cause an accident since blade
will not tighten properly.

onto the inner blade washer.
NOTE: The saw teeth point upward at the front of the
saw.
[] Replace the outer blade washer.

the blade screw. Tighten the blade screw securely.
NOTE: Turn the blade screw counterclockwise to
tighten.

outer blade washer to engage with the flats on the
spindle.
