CHANGING THE BLADE
WARNING! Before changing the blade, electrical supply must be LOCKED OUT!
Always use gloves while handling loose blades.
1. Release the blade guard and push it back as far as it allows.
2. Place a piece of wood in the vise and pull down the saw until the blade rests on the
wood.
3. Insert the special spanner provided and remove the screw (1), loosen it in the counter-
clockwise direction as it has left-handed threads.
4. Slip off the flange that holds the blade in place and remove old blade.
5. Install new blade on spindle and align blade drag holes with the spindle holes.
6. Install flange and tighten spindle bolt tight by hand.
7. Push the blade against direction of rotation until the holes deadhead against the flange
drive pins and tighten spindle bolt securely.
This step is to remove backlash and
is required before operating with a new blade.
REGULATING ARM BLOCKAGE
If there is insufficient blockage of the head arm in the desired position, loosen the screw (1) on
the lever, hold the bushing (2) in position, turn lever left to tighten the screw.
