ASSEMBLY
WARNING:
If inner flange bushing has been removed, replace
it before placing blade on spindle. Failure to do
so could cause an accident since blade will not
tighten properly.
Retract the lower guard into the upper guard, making
sure the lower guard spring works properly, allowing the
guard to move freely.
Check to see that the saw teeth and arrow on the saw
blade and the arrow on the lower guard are pointing in
the same direction.
NOTE:
The saw teeth point upward at the front of the
saw as shown.
Fit the saw blade inside the lower blade guard and onto
the spindle.
NOTE:
Be sure that the diamond key on the inner flange
bushing aligns properly with the blade before tightening
the blade screw.
Replace outer flange washer.
Replace spring washer.
Depress the spindle lock and replace the blade screw.
Tighten the blade screw securely by turning it counter-
clockwise with the wrench. Do not over tighten.
NOTE:
Never use a blade that is too thick to allow
the outer flange washer to engage with the flat on the
spindle.
REMOVING BLADE

Unplug the saw.
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to the spindle or spindle lock,
always allow motor to come to a complete stop
before engaging spindle lock.

WARNING:
Do not attempt to modify this tool or create
accessories not recommended for use with this
tool. Any such alteration or modification is misuse
and could result in a hazardous condition leading
to possible serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Do not connect to power supply until assembly
is complete. Failure to comply could result in
accidental starting and possible serious personal
injury.
WARNING:
7-1/4 in. (184 mm) blade is the maximum blade
capacity of the saw. Also, never use a blade that
is too thick to allow outer flange washer to engage
with the flat on the spindle. Larger blades will come
in contact with the blade guards, while thicker
blades will prevent blade screw from securing
blade on spindle. Either of these situations could
result in a serious accident.

Unplug the saw.
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to the spindle or spindle lock,

Remove the blade screw by turning it clockwise with the
wrench, while keeping the lock button depressed.
Remove the spring washer and outer flange washer.
Wipe a drop of oil onto the inner flange bushing and outer
flange washer where they contact the blade.
