INSTALLING THE BLADE
-
ENSURE THAT TOOL IS DISCONNECTED FROM POWER SOURCE.
To install the blade:
1.
Remove any accumulated debris in the guards and around the
arbor.
2.
Clean the inner arbor flange(3). Orient the flange so that the
correct side faces the blade and place the new blade on the arbor,
making sure that the teeth point forwards.
NOTE: Use blades that have an arbor bore which can fit, and that are
rated for the machine’s maximum rated speed or higher. Avoid
contact with blade teeth to prevent personal injury.
3.
Place the outer arbor flange on the arbor with the correct side
toward the blade. See fig.2
NOTE: Take care to ensure that the blade is centered (it is possible to tighten the blade crooked
between the flanges).
4.
Replace and finger-tighten the blade retaining bolt by turning it
clockwise.
5.
Push in the arbor lock lever and rotate the arbor by hand until the
lock engages the arbor. Tighten the blade retaining bolt securely.
Rock the arbor with the wrench to ensure that the arbor lock has
released and release the arbor lock. see fig.3
REMOVING THE BLADE -
DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.
Removal is the opposite of installing the blade, but special care must be taken to avoid injury from the blade.
1.
Push in the blade lock lever and rotate the arbor with the wrench on the retaining bolt until the lock
engages the arbor. Loosen the blade retaining bolt with the provided wrench and release the arbor lock.
2.
Completely unscrew the blade retaining bolt and lift it and the outer flange away, taking care not to drop
the blade.
3.
Carefully rotate the lower blade guard out of the way. The blade may now be removed.
