WARNING:
A 6-1/2 in. (165 mm) blade is the
maximum blade capacity of your 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 battery pack from saw.
WARNING:
Failure to remove battery pack from
saw could result in accidental starting causing
possible serious personal injury.
Locate latch on end of battery pack and depress to
