ASSEMBLY
INSTALLING CUTTING WHEEL
See Figure 2, page 13.
DANGER:
Use ONLY Type 1 straight or cut-off wheels (such
as the ones provided with this product). Never
attach a Type 27 grinding wheel to this saw. Use
for any other purpose is not recommended and
creates a hazard, which will result in serious injury.
WARNING:
A 3 in. wheel is the maximum wheel capacity of
the saw. Never use a wheel that is too thick to
allow outer wheel washer to engage with the flats
on the spindle. Larger cutting wheels will come in
contact with the wheel guard, while thicker wheels
will prevent wheel screw from securing wheel on
spindle. Either of these situations could result in a
serious accident.
Remove the battery pack from the saw.
Select an appropriate cutting wheel.
NOTE:
A metal cutting wheel, abrasive cutting wheel, and
tile cutting wheel are provided.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury, only use the proper
wheels made for this tool. Never use any type of
toothed saw blade.
Inspect the wheel for defects such as cracks, chipping,
and correct speed rating. If defects are found or the speed
rating is not equal to or greater than 22,500 /min., do not
use. Select another wheel.
Remove the 4 mm hex key from the storage area.
Loosen the clamp screw on the back of the wheel guard
and slide the shoe assembly to its lowest position.
Place the saw on its side with the guard facing up.
Depress and hold the spindle lock button and remove the
wheel screw and outer wheel washer.
NOTE:
Turn the wheel screw counterclockwise to remove.
NOTICE:
To prevent damage to the spindle or spindle lock,
always allow motor to come to a complete stop
before engaging spindle lock.
NOTE:
Do not run the saw with spindle lock engaged.
Wipe a drop of oil onto the inner wheel washer and outer
wheel washer where they contact the wheel.
WARNING:
If inner wheel washer has been removed, replace
it before placing wheel on spindle. Failure to do
so could cause an accident since wheel will not
tighten properly.
Fit the cutting wheel inside the guard and onto the spindle.
Replace the outer wheel washer.
Depress and hold the spindle lock button, then replace
the wheel screw. Tighten the wheel screw securely by
turning it clockwise.
