1. Installing a saw blade
a. Unplug the saw.
b. Press and hold the spindle-lock button (B)
and remove the blade screw (J) by turning it
counterclockwise with the wrench (Q).
c. Remove the outer flange (D-Washer) (L).
wARnInG:
If the inner flange bushing has been
removed, replace it before placing the blade on the
spindle. Failure to do so will prevent the blade from
tightening properly, and could result in serious personal
injury.
d. Use the blade guard lever (F) to retract the lower
blade guard (E) into the upper blade guard. Make
sure that the lower guard works properly and
allows the guard to move freely.
e. Verify that the blade teeth and the arrow on the
blade (P) and the arrow on the lower blade guard
(E) are pointing in the same direction.
note:
The blade teeth should point upward at the front of
the saw.
f. Fit the blade (P) inside the lower blade guard (E)
and onto the spindle (R).
g. Replace the outer flange (D-Washer) (L).
h. Press and hold the spindle-lock button (B) and
replace the blade screw (J). Then tighten the
blade screw (J) securely by turning it clockwise
with the wrench (Q).
note:
Never use a blade that is too thick to allow the
outer flange (D-Washer) (L) to engage with the flat
section of the spindle.
