WARNING:
Wear safety gloves when handling saw blades to
prevent injuries from accidentally contacting the blade tip.
1. Unplug your mini circular saw from the power source.
2. Press down the spindle lock (Fig. 1) to prevent the blade from spinning.
With the spindle lock pressed down, use the included M6 hex wrench to
loosen the arbor screw by turning it clockwise (Fig. 2).
3. Remove the arbor screw, washer and outer flange.
4. Push the blade release switch (Fig. 3) and swing the base plate upwards.
Carefully remove the existing blade.
5. With the base plate swung upwards as in Step 4, slide the new saw blade
onto the spindle. Make sure the blade teeth beneath the base plate are
pointing forward and the arrows printed on the blade point in the clock-
wise direction.
6. Replace the outer flange washer. Press the spindle lock (Fig. 1 - 1) and
replace the arbor screw and washer. Fully tighten the arbor screw by turn-
ing it counterclockwise with the hex wrench.
NOTE:
The quality of the cut depends on the condition of the saw
blade. Never use a dull, rusty, or damaged blade. Before operation,
check the condition of the blade and replace if the blade is worn-out or
damaged.
WARNING:
To avoid injury from accidental startups, be sure that the tool is switched off and discon-
nected from the power supply before inspecting the unit, making adjustments or changing accessories.
ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS
INSTALLING/REPLACING THE SAW BLADE (Fig. 1 & 2)
Use saw blades with 3-3/8 inch (85 mm)diameter and 19/32 inch (15 mm) arbor. Do not use a blade that does not
match the diameter or arbor size. The thickness of the included blades are 1 mm on the body and 1.6 to 1.8 mm
on the blade teeth. Do not use a blade too thick that will prevent the arbor screw from properly securing the blade.
Replacement saw blades (Model B8515W, B8515M and B8515T) can be purchased from wenproducts.com.
