ASSEMBLY
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, hold the outer flange with the wrench so that it cannot
revolve, then use the hex wrench to loosen the hex bolt counterclockwise.
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 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 operation before each use.
CAUTION:
•
The inner flange has a 25 mm diameter on one side and a 25.4 mm
diameter on the other. The side with 25.4 mm diameter is marked by
“25.4”. Use the correct side for the hole diameter of the blade you intend
to use. Mounting the blade on the wrong side can result in dangerous
vibration.
