 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.
