CHANGING THE BLADE
Use only cross-cut saw blades. Use carbide-tipped blades with a negative hook angle. Do not use
blades with deep gullets that can deflect and contact the guard. Use only 8-1/4" diameter saw
blades which are rated for 4700 RPM or higher and have 5/8" diameter arbor holes.
1. Remove screws (B) and (C) Fig. 36, and rotate lower blade guard assembly to the up position. Slide the guard lift-
ing lever (A) forward to release the screw from the slot. Remove blade guard assembly.
2. Press in on arbor lock (D) Fig. 37 to keep the arbor from turning. Remove arbor screw (E). NOTE: Turn arbor screw
(E) clockwise to remove.
