• Ensure that the blade and blade flanges are clean and free
from any contamination.
• The inner-blade flange should be left in place (except for North
American models supplied with the silver dual-sided inner-
flange), but if it is removed for cleaning it must be replaced the
same way round as it was removed from the machine.
To insert the blade Press the Lower Blade Guard Release Trigger
(A) rotate the lower blade guard (B) up into the upper blade
guard and hold the lower blade guard in that position. (Fig. 18)
Install the new blade onto the inner flange ensuring it is seated
properly on the flange shoulder and then slowly release the lower
blade guard back to its original closed position. Make sure the
rotation arrow on the blade
(A) matches the clockwise rotation
arrow on the upper guard (B) . (Fig. 19)
Note: The blade teeth should always point downward at the
front of the saw.
Install the outer flange (1) (flat face onto the machine),
washer (2) and arbor screw (3). (Fig. 20)
Press & keep pressing the arbor lock button on the motor housing
while tightening the arbor screw using the supplied Hex Key until
the button locates fully into the shaft and locks the shaft.
(Fig. 16)
Tighten the arbor screw using moderate force, but do not
overtighten. Ensure the Hex Key is removed and the arbor lock
button has released before operating. Ensure the blade guard is
fully functional before using the machine.
REAR SUPPORT ARM
For extra stability in use, a rear support arm is incorporated
into the base of the machine just below the Bevel Neck
Pivot mechanism.
Deploy this arm by pulling it fully out from the base of the
machine before moving onto the Final Safety Checks.
