TO INSTALL THE BLADE (FIG. 2–5)
  1. Remove the battery.
  2. Using the lower guard lever (M), retract the 
lower blade guard (K) and place blade on saw 
spindle against the inner clamp washer (U), 
making sure that the blade will rotate in the 
proper direction (the direction of the rotation 
arrow on the saw blade and the teeth must 
point in the same direction as the direction of 
rotation arrow on the saw). Do not assume that 
the printing on the blade will always be facing 
you when properly installed. When retracting 
the lower blade guard to install the blade, check 
the condition and operation of the lower blade 
guard to assure that it is working properly. 
Make sure it moves freely and does not touch 
the blade or any other part, in all angles and 
depths of cut. 
  3. Place outer clamp washer (V) on saw spindle 
with the beveled edge facing out. Make sure 
the 30 mm diameter on the blade side of the 
clamp fits into the 30 mm hole in the saw blade 
to ensure centering of the blade.
  4. Thread the blade clamping screw (L) onto the 
saw spindle by hand (screw has right-hand 
threads and must be turned clockwise to 
tighten).
