Changing blades (fig.O - Q)
Warning! To avoid injury from accidental starting, always
remove the power plug from the power source before chang-
ing the blades. Use correctly sharpened saw blades. Observe
the maximum speed and tooth type marked on the saw blade.
Only use Stanley Fat Max recommended blades. To replace
the saw blade (34), proceed as follows:
Press the saw arm release lever (36) and rotate the move-
u
able lower guard counter clockwise and clear of the blade.
Use one hand to hold the guard in place (fig. O).
Using a screwdriver, loosen but do not remove the screw
u
(50). Do not remove the screw completely as this will
make re-assembly difficult.
Using a screwdriver, loosen but do not remove the screw
u
(51) until there is movement in the metal guard plate.
Do not remove the screw completely as this will make
re-assembly difficult.
Move the metal upper guard plate counter clockwise (fig.
u
P). This will give you access to the spindle bolt (52) that
attaches the saw blade (34) to the mitre saw.
Press and hold the spindle lock button (35) on the motor
u
housing, to lock the saw blade (34) and prevent it from
rotating.
Using the supplied blade spanner, turn the spindle bolt
u
(52) in a clockwise direction to remove the bolt and the
saw blade (34).
Fit a replacement blade, make sure that the teeth are
u
pointing downward and the direction marking on the blade
is the same as that on the mitre saws guard (clockwise)
(fig. P).
Loosely fit the spindle bolt (52) by hand (turn counter
u
clockwise).
Press and hold the spindle lock button (35) and use the
u
blade spanner to tighten the spindle bolt (52) until the
blade is secure.
Replace the metal upper guard (26) into its original posi-
u
tion and tighten the two screws (50 and 51).
Allow the moveable lower guard (5) to return to its original
u
position covering the blade.
Warning! Never press the spindle lock while the blade is
rotating. Be sure to hold the guard bracket down and firmly
tighten the guard bracket screw after installing the blade.
Warning! The guard bracket must be returned to its original
position and the screw tightened before activating the saw.
Failure to do so may allow the guard to contact the spin-
ning saw blade resulting in damage to the saw and severe
personal injury.
