ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from
power source before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or accessories. An
accidental start‑up can causeinjury.
Motor
Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate
marking. Voltage decrease of more than 10% will cause loss
of power and overheating. These tools are factory tested; if
this tool does not operate, check powersupply.
The label on your tool may include the following symbols. The
symbols and their definitions are asfollows:
V ......................... volts
Hz .......................hertz
min ..................... minutes

working environment or pose an increased health risk to
the operator and those in closeproximity.
• Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the workpiece by hand or against your body is unstable
and may lead to loss of control andinjury.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in movingparts.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size
(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller
the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity
of the cable, that is, 16gauge has more capacity than
18gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When
using more than one extension to make up the total length,
be sure each individual extension contains at least the
minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
lower the gauge number, the heavier thecord.

Changing Blades
To Install the Blade (Fig. A–C)

WARNING: Disconnect tool from power source before
service, adjustment, installing or removingaccessories.
1. Retract the lower blade guard
8
and place blade on saw
spindle against the inner clamp washer, 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 lower blade guard). 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
13
on saw spindle with the
letters side facingout.
3. Thread blade clamping screw
9
into saw spindle by
hand (screw has left‑hand threads and must be turned
counterclockwise totighten).
4. Depress the blade lock button
3
while turning the
saw spindle with the hex key
14
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. A–C)

WARNING: Disconnect tool from power source before
service, adjustment, installing or removingaccessories.
1. To loosen the blade clamping screw
9
, depress the
blade lock button
3
and turn the saw spindle with the
hex key
14
until the blade lock engages and the blade
stops rotating. With the blade lock engaged, turn the
blade clamping screw clockwise with the hex key (screw
has left‑hand threads and must be turned clockwise
toloosen).
2. Remove the blade clamping screw
9
and outer clamp
washer
13
only. Remove oldblade.
