OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
7. Saw Blades
The best saw blades will not cut efciently if they
are not kept clean, sharp, and properly set. Using
a dull blade will place a heavy load on the saw and
increase the danger of kickback. Keep extra blades
on hand so sharp blades are always available.
Gum and resin on blades will slow the saw down.
Follow the instructions for removing a saw blade,
then use gum and resin remover, hot water, or
kerosene to remove the accumulations.
WARNING
• Do not use gasoline to clean the blade.
Installing a Saw Blade
a. Remove the battery pack from the saw.
b. Depress and hold the spindle-lock button (R).
c. Loosen the blade bolt (G) by turning it counterclockwise with the blade wrench (S)
(included).
d. Remove the blade bolt, washer and outer ange (I).
WARNING
• If the inner ange has been removed, replace it before placing the blade on the spindle.
Failure to do so will prevent the blade from tightening properly and could result in serious
personal injury.
e. Use the blade-guard lever (F) to retract the lower blade guard (H) into the upper blade guard
(E).
f. Fit the saw blade (J) inside the lower blade guard and onto the spindle. Verify that the
saw teeth, the arrow on the saw blade and the blade-rotation indicator arrow on the blade
guard are all pointing in the same direction.
NOTICE: The saw teeth should point upward at the front of the saw.
g. Replace the outer blade ange with the protuberant facing outward.
h. Depress and hold the spindle-lock button, and replace the washer and blade bolt.
i. Tighten the blade bolt securely by turning it clockwise with the blade wrench.
NOTICE: Never use a blade that is too thick to allow the outer blade ange to engage with the
at section of the spindle.
WARNING
• To prevent personal injury, always remove the battery pack before installing or removing the
saw blade.
