ATTACHING THE BLADE (FIG. 3)
WARNING
Detach the battery pack
from the tool before
performing any assembly or adjustments or
changing accessories.
Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally.
WARNING
Use only 7-1/4” saw
blades rated 5800/min
(RPM) or greater. NEVER use a blade that is
so thick that it prevents the outer blade
washer from engaging with the flat side of
the spindle.
Using a blade not designed for the
saw may result in serious personal injury and
property damage.
a. Take the blade wrench from its storage area.
b. Press the shaft-lock button and turn blade
wrench until the shaft-lock button engages.
The saw shaft is now locked. Continue to
depress the shaft-lock button, turn the blade
wrench counterclockwise and remove the
blade stud and the outer washer.
c. Make sure that the saw teeth and the arrow
on the blade point in the same direction as
the arrow on the lower guard.
d. Retract the lower guard all the way up into
the upper guard. While retracting the lower
guard, check the operation and condition of
the lower-guard spring.
e. Slide the blade through the slot in the foot
and mount it against the inner washer on the
shaft. Be sure that the large diameter of the
inner and outer washers lay flush against the
blade.
f. Reinstall the OUTER WASHER. First finger
tighten the blade stud, then tighten the blade
stud 1/8 turn (45˚) with the blade wrench
provided.
NOTICE:
Do not use a blade wrench with
a longer handle, since it may lead to over
tightening of the blade stud.
NOTICE:
Always clean the spindle, upper
guard, and lower guard to remove any dirt and
sawdust.
ATTACHING THE VACUUM HOSE ADAPTER
(FIG. 4)
WARNING
Always wear a dust mask
during use.
Align the vacuum hose adapter with the opening
on the upper guard, fix the vacuum hose
adapter in place by using a screw (provided).
To extract the saw dust created during cutting,
connect a suitable vacuum cleaner with a 1-1/4”
suction hose to the vacuum hose adapter.
Make sure the vacuum hose has freedom to
move and has enough length to complete the
cut. If needed, have another person move the
vacuum cleaner and the hose while you are
making the cut.
Before starting a cut, make sure that the airflow
through the upper guard is not obstructed.
