Changing Blades
TO INSTALL THE BLADE (FIG. 1–4)
1. Using the lower guard lever (k), retract the lower
blade guard (i) and place blade on saw spindle
against the inner clamp washer (o), 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.
2. Place outer clamp washer (n) on saw spindle
with the large flat surface against the blade and
the wording on the outer clamp washer facing
you.
3. Thread blade clamping screw (j) into saw
spindle by hand (screw has right-hand threads
and must be turned clockwise to tighten).
4. Depress the blade lock (c) while turning the saw
spindle with the blade wrench until the blade
lock engages and the blade stops rotating.
5. Tighten the blade clamping screw firmly with the
blade wrench.
NOTE: Never engage the blade lock while saw
is running, or engage in an effort to stop the tool.
Never turn the saw on while the blade lock is
engaged. Serious damage to your saw will result.
TO REPLACE THE BLADE (FIG. 2–4)
1. To loosen the blade clamping screw (j), depress
the blade lock (c) and turn the saw spindle
with the blade wrench (s) until the blade lock
engages and the blade stops rotating. With the
