WARNING!
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields
during power tool operations, or when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also
wear a dust mask.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
The tool may be cleaned most effectively with compressed dry air. Always
wear safety goggles when cleaning tools with compressed air.
WARNING!
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of
any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage. To ensure safety
and reliability, all repairs should be performed by a qualified service technician
at an Authorized Service Center.
WARNING!
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based
products, penetrating oils, etc. come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals
can damage, weaken or destroy plastic, which may result in serious personal
injury. Periodic maintenance allows for long life and trouble-free operation. A
cleaning and maintenance schedule should be maintained. As a common pre-
ventive maintenance practice, follow these recommended steps:
When work has been completed, clean the tool to allow smooth
functioning of the tool over time.
Use clean damp cloths to wipe the tool.
Check the state of all electrical cables.
Keep the motor air openings free from oil, grease and sawdust or
woodchips, and store tool in a dry place.
Be certain that all moving parts are well lubricated, particularly after
lengthy exposure to damp and/or dirty conditions.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high-
grade lubricant for the life of the tool under normal operating conditions.
Therefore, no further lubrication is required.
CHANGING THE BLADE (Fig. 20)
WARNING!
A 6 1/2-in. blade is the maximum blade capacity of the saw. Use
only 6 1/2-in. blades when replacing worn or damaged blades. Never use a blade
that is too thick to allow the outer blade washer to engage with the flats on the
spindle. Thicker blade will prevent blade screw from securing blade on spindle,
resulting in serious personal injury.
WARNING!
Be sure to wear protective work gloves while handling a saw
blade. The blade can injure unprotected hands.
1. Remove battery pack from the saw.
2. Loosen the depth of cut adjustment lever. Raise the saw to the maximum
height and tighten the depth of cut adjustment lever..
3. Locate and remove the hex key
from the storage area.
4. Depress the spindle lock button,
place hex key in the blade screw
and move the hex key back and
forth until you feel the spindle lock
button depress further. This action
locks the blade in position so the
blade screw can be removed.
With the spindle lock button firmly
depressed, turn the blade screw
clockwise to remove.
5. Raise the lower blade guard using
the blade guard lever and hold it in
the raised position.
6. Remove the blade screw and the
outer blade washer and the blade.
7. The remaining washer is the inner bushing washer that fits around the
spindle shaft and does not need to be removed.
8. Put a drop of good-quality machine oil onto the inner bushing washer and
outer blade washer where they will contact the blade.
9. Place a new saw blade inside the lower blade guard, onto the spindle shaft
and against the inner bushing washer.
NOTE:
The teeth of the blade should point upward at the front of the saw
10. Replace outer blade washer.
11. Depress and hold spindle lock button as you replace the blade screw and
hand tighten the screw in a counterclockwise direction. Use the hex key
to tighten the blade screw securely.
12. Return hex key into the storage area.
NOTE:
Never use a blade that is too thick to allow the outer blade washer to
engage with the flat side of the spindle.
