Attaching the Blade (Fig.2)
WARNING
Detach the battery pack from the tool before performing any
assembly, adjustments, or changing accessories.
Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
WARNING
This tool is for cutting wood only. Use only the correct saw blades for
wood-cutting operations. Do not use any abrasive wheels.
WARNING
Use only 6-1/2’’ saw blades rated 5400/min (RPM) or greater. NEVER
use a blade that is so thick that it prevents the outer blade washer
from engaging with the flat side of the spindle.
Using a blade not designed for the saw
may result in serious personal injury and property damage.
WARNING
Be sure to wear protective work gloves while handling a saw blade.
The blade can injure unprotected hands.
a. Press the spindle-lock button and turn the hex key until the lock button engages. The
saw shaft is now locked. Continue to depress the spindle-lock button, turn the hex key
counterclockwise, and remove the blade bolt and the outer washer. Always clean the
spindle, upper guard and lower guard to remove any dirt and sawdust.
WARNING
Depress the spindle-lock button only when the tool is at a standstill.
b. Make sure that the saw teeth and the arrow on the blade point in the same direction as the
arrow on the lower guard.
c. Retract the lower guard all the way up into the upper guard. While retracting the lower
guard, check the operation and condition of the lower guard system.
