Installing the Blade
WARNING
DO NOT install a blade with the
engine running.
Failure to properly secure the outer
flange and blade may cause parts to
loosen or fall off the saw, resulting in
serious injuries or death!
DO NOT pivot the front of the blade guard
up or down when installing very large
blades. Attempting to pivot the front of a
heavy guard when the guard is
positioned higher up for blade
installation makes the guard difficult to
lift and/or lower. In this situation,
remove the blade guard front instead of
pivoting it.
Always secure the pivoted section of the
blade guard using the detent pin.
CAUTION
Wear gloves and be alert to the surrounding
environment when handling blades.
NOTE: When changing blade sizes, ensure to
adjust and/or change all necessary belt drive
components in accordance with the
CC9074DKV Parts List
.
The blade can be installed on the right or left
side of the saw. Install the blade on the side
preferred or most appropriate for the cutting
task.
1. Select a blade size and type. Remember to
check the blade for damages and discard
as necessary.
2. Remove the detent pin from the front guard
and pivot the front of the blade guard 180°
(fully upward) to gain access to the blade
flanges. For larger, heavier guards that are
positioned too high up and are unsafe to
pivot, remove the lock nut and bolt from the
center of the guard hinge. Remove the
front of the guard.
NOTE: Have a second trained operator hold
the guard in place while removing the hinge
bolt and nut
.
Detent Pin
3. On the pivoted guards, insert the detent pin
through the interlocking barrels on the top
of the guard to secure the front of the guard
as shown above.
WARNING
Failure to fully pivot and secure the front of
the guard may cause serious injuries.
4. Remove the blade shaft bolt using the
provided wrench.
NOTE: Clockwise loosens on right side,
counterclockwise loosens on left side (when
viewed from the operating position) using the
provided wrench.
5. Carefully remove the outer flange. Inspect
the flange assembly and clean or replace
dirty/damaged components.
6. Align and fit the outer flange and flange pin
through the blade.
7. Place the blade and outer flange into the
alignment hole and blade arbor of the inner
flange. For large blades, carefully roll the
blade up to the inner flange. Adjust the
height of the saw to align the flange and
blade arbor.
NOTE: Point the arrow stamped on the blade
in the direction of the blade shaft’s rotation
.
NOTE: The outer flange should fit snug with
the blade, inner flange, and blade shaft
.
