Changing Blades
To Install the Blade (Fig.B–E)
1. Using the lower guard lever
12
, retract the lower blade
guard
10
and place blade on saw spindle against the inner
clamp washer
14
, 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
15
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.
3. Thread the blade clamping screw
11
onto the saw spindle
by hand (screw has right-hand threads and must be turned
clockwise to tighten).
4. Depress the blade lock
4
while turning the saw spindle
with the blade wrench
16
stored underneath the main
handle
3
(Fig.E), until the blade lock engages and the
blade stopsrotating.
5. Tighten the blade clamping screw firmly with the
bladewrench.
NOTICE: 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.B–E)
1. To loosen the blade clamping screw
11
, depress the blade
lock
4
and turn the saw spindle with the blade wrench
16
,
stored underneath the main handle
3
, until the blade lock
engages and the blade stops rotating. With the blade lock
engaged, turn the blade clamping screw counterclockwise
with the blade wrench (screw has right-hand threads and
must be turned counterclockwise to loosen).
2. Remove the blade clamping screw
11
and outer clamp
washer
15
. Remove oldblade.
3. Clean any sawdust that may have accumulated in the
guard or clamp washer area and check the condition and
operation of the lower blade guard as previously outlined.
Do not lubricate thisarea.
4. Select the proper blade for the application (refer to Blades).
Always use blades that are the correct size (diameter)
with the proper size and shape center hole for mounting
on the saw spindle. Always assure that the maximum
recommended speed (rpm) on the saw blade meets or
exceeds the speed (rpm) of thesaw.
5. Follow steps 1 through 5 under To Install the Blade, making
sure that the blade will rotate in the properdirection.
Lower Blade Guard

WARNING: The lower blade guard is a safety feature that
reduces the risk of serious personal injury. Never use the
saw if the lower guard is missing, damaged, misassembled
or not working properly. Do not rely on the lower blade
guard to protect you under all circumstances. Your safety
depends on following all warnings and precautions as
well as proper operation of the saw. Check the lower blade
guard for proper closing before each use. If the lower
blade guard is missing or not working properly, have the
saw serviced before using. To assure product safety and
reliability, repair, maintenance and adjustment should
be performed by an authorized service center or other
qualified service organization, always using identical
replacementparts.
