INSTALLING A BLADE 
 
      

WARNING:

 

Let the hot blade, arbor 

screw and thick washer cool before 
attempting to change the blade.

 

 
1. 

Remove the existing blade (if one is 
installed), arbor screw and thick arbor 
washer as noted on the previous page. 
        

2. 

Slide blade (5) through the slot in the 
bottom of the blade guard and onto the 
arbor so the hole in the blade (6) slides 
over the arbor (Fig. 2). 

NOTE:

 Make sure the exposed teeth of a 

blade with teeth are pointing forward. 

 

3. 

Re-install thick arbor washer and arbor 
screw in the reverse order in which they 
were removed. 

NOTE:

 Make sure the flat side of the thick 

washer is facing the head of the arbor 
screw. 
 

4. 

Lock the spindle using the spindle lock 
button and tighten the arbor screw by 
turning it COUNTER CLOCKWISE. 

NOTE:

 The arbor screw has a left hand 

thread. It must be turned COUNTER 
CLOCKWISE to be tightened. 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
ADJUSTING THE CUTTING DEPTH

 

 
The cutting depth is controlled by limiting the 
amount of blade exposed below the blade 
guard. 

 
 
 
1. 

Loosen the depth control lever (1) by 
pulling it outward (Fig. 3).  
 

2. 

Slide the depth control (2) upward to the 
desired cutting depth (3). 
 

3. 

Lock the depth control in place by pressing 
the depth control lever inward toward the 
tool. 
 

Press the rear of the blade guard lock button (4) 
and carefully pivot the blade guard (5) upward 
as far as it will go to expose the amount of blade 
required to achieve the desired depth of cut. 

NOTES:

  

a) The measurement markings on front of the 
blade guard (3) should be used as a guide in 
setting the depth of cut. This will roughly 
indicate depth of cut. 
b) Always set the cutting depth 1/8" greater than 
the thickness of the workpiece.  
c) Always test the depth setting on a scrap 
workpiece to verify the setting before cutting into 
the good workpiece. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
INSTALLING THE EDGE GUIDE

 

 
The multi-cut saw can be used with an edge 
guide for ripping materials up to 7" wide. 
 
1. 

Using the 3 mm hex key provided, turn the 
edge guide locking screw (1) counter 
clockwise a few turns until the screw rises 
about 1/8" (Fig. 4).  
 

2. 

Insert the edge guide rod (2) into the left 
hand edge guide mounting slot (3), through 
the middle locking slot (4) and through the 
right hand mounting slot (5).
