WARNING: 7-1/4” is the maximum blade capacity of your saw. Never use a blade that
is too thick to allow the outer flange washer to fit properly on the spindle. Too thick a blade
will prevent the blade bolt from securing the blade on the spindle. Larger diameter blades
will contact the blade guards. Either situation could result in a serious accident.
