Changing Blades (Fig. 1, 4–6)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from
power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when
making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
TO INSTALL THE BLADE
1. Place inner clamp washer
FIG. 4
(Q) on saw spindle (S)
with the large flat surface
facing out toward the
blade (Fig. 4, 5).
2. Retract the lower blade
guard (G) and place blade
on saw spindle against
the inner clamp washer
(Q), making sure that
the blade will rotate in
the proper direction (the
direction of the rotation arrow on the saw blade and the teeth must point in the
same direction as the direction of rotation arrow on the saw). Do not assume
that the printing on the blade will always be facing you when properly installed.
When retracting the lower blade guard to install the blade, check the condition
and operation of the lower blade guard to assure that it is working properly. Make
sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles
and depths of cut.
3. Place outer clamp washer (R) on saw spindle with the large flat surface against
the blade with beveled side facing out.
