CAUTION:
•
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Removing or installing saw blade
CAUTION:
•
Be sure the blade is installed with teeth pointing up at
the front of the tool.
•
Use only the Makita wrench to install or remove the
blade.
To remove the blade, press the shaft lock so that the blade
cannot revolve and use the wrench to loosen the hex bolt
clockwise. Then remove the hex bolt, outer flange and blade.
To install the blade, follow the removal procedure in reverse.
BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX BOLT COUNTER-
CLOCKWISE SECURELY.
When changing blade, make sure to also clean upper and
lower blade guards of accumulated sawdust. Such efforts do
not, however, replace the need to check lower guard opera-
tion before each use.
