SAW BLADE MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING
WARNING: * To prevent an accident or personal injury, always turn off the trigger
switch and disconnect the power plug from the receptacle before
removing or installing a saw blade.
If cutting work is done in a state where the 10 mm bolt is not
suffi ciently tightened, the 10 mm bolt can get loose, the blade can
come off , and the lower guard can get damaged, resulting in injuries.
Also, check that the 10 mm bolts are properly tightened before
plugging the power plug into the receptacle.
* If the 10 mm bolts are attached or detached using tools other than
the 17 mm wrench (standard accessory), excessive or improperly
tightening occurs, resulting in injury.
1. Mounting the saw blade (Fig. 50-a, Fig. 50-b, Fig. 50-c and Fig. 50-d)
(1) Use the Phillips screwdriver to loosen the 5 mm screw fastening the spindle cover and
then turn the spindle cover.
(2) Press in spindle lock and loosen 10 mm bolt with 17 mm wrench (standard accessory).
Since the 10 mm bolt is left-hand threaded, loosen by turning it to the right as shown in
Fig. 50-c.
NOTE: If the spindle lock cannot be easily pressed in to lock the spindle, turn
the 10 mm bolt with 17 mm wrench (standard accessory) while applying
pressure on the spindle lock.
The saw blade spindle is locked when the spindle lock is pressed inward.
(3) Remove the bolt and washer (B)
