MAINTENANCE
3. Depress the spindle-lock button, place the hex wrench in the blade screw and move it back and forth
until you feel the spindle-lock button depress further. This action locks the blade in position so that the
blade screw can be removed (g 18).
4. With the spindle-lock button rmly depressed, turn the blade screw clockwise to remove it.
5. Raise the lower blade guard with the lower blade-guard lever and hold it in the raised position.
6. Remove the blade screw, the outer blade washer and the blade (g 19).
7. The remaining washer is the inner bushing washer that fits around the spindle shaft and does not need
to be removed.
8. Put a drop of good-quality machine oil onto the inner bushing washer and the outer blade washer
where they will contact the blade.
9. Place a new saw blade inside the lower blade guard, onto the spindle shaft and against the inner
bushing washer.
NOTE:
The teeth of the blade should point upward at the front of the saw.
10. Replace the outer blade washer.
11. Depress and hold the spindle-lock button as you replace the blade screw and hand tighten the screw
in a counter-clockwise direction. Use the hex wrench to tighten the blade screw securely.
NOTE:
Never use a blade that is too thick to allow the outer blade washer to engage with the flat side of
the spindle.
