CAUTION:
•
Always clean out all chips or foreign matter
adhering to the blade and/or blade holder. Failure
to do so may cause insufficient tightening of the
blade, resulting in serious personal injury.
•
Do not touch the blade or the workpiece
immediately after operation as they may be
extremely hot and could cause burn injury.
•
Always secure the blade firmly. Insufficient
tightening of the blade may cause blade breakage
or serious personal injury.
First, use the hex wrench to remove the bolt that secures
the blade clamp to the blade holder shaft.
With the blade teeth facing forward, place the shank of
the blade over the flat side of the blade holder shaft.
Then place the blade clamp over the other side of the
blade shank. Secure this assembly together with the bolt.
Make sure that the bolt passes through the larger hole in
the blade shank.

Loosen the bolt on the back of the base with the hex
wrench. Move the retainer so that the roller contacts the
blade lightly. Then tighten the bolt to secure the base
and the retainer.
However, when using the blade that does not have a
straight back, slide the retainer back so that the roller will
not contact the blade.
NOTE:
•
Occasionally lubricate the roller.
