vi. INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
1. (See figure 1) Turn the two knobs on the inner
blade guard counterclockwise until the guard
is free.
2. Pull the outer blade guard away from the
inner blade guard, away from the motor.
3. Remove the blade shaft nut and outer fl ange.
If a blade has been mounted, hold the blade
with one hand and use the other hand to
loosen the nut with the included wrench.
Remove existing blade.
4. Mount new blade, but make certain the arrow
on the blade coincides with the rotation
direction of the shaft.
5. Note if while loosening or tightening the blade
the nut turns independently from the blade,
the other included wrench must be used. Find
the slot located behind the inner flange on the
blade shaft. Use second wrench to hold
blade/shaft in place and remove the nut.
WARNING: Only use 7" blades on this saw.
Setting a smaller blade may cause the blade
to grab the material being cut, possibly
causing injury to the operator and the saw.
