7. Hold the rotating guard up and press the spindle lock button (FIGURE 7). Rotate the blade until the spindle
engages to lock the blade.
8. Turn the hex key clockwise to loosen the arbor bolt and remove it (FIGURE 20).
9. Remove the flat washer, the outer flange washer and the blade.
10. Wipe a drop of oil onto the inner flange and the outer flange where they contact the blade.
11. Fit the new blade onto the spindle while taking care that the inner flange sits behind the blade.
WARNING: To ensure the correct blade rotation, always install the blade with the blade teeth and the arrow
printed on the side of the blade pointing downwards. The direction of the blade’s rotation is also stamped with an
arrow on the upper blade guard.
12. Replace the outer flange. Depress the spindle lock button and replace the flat washer and arbor bolt.
13. Use the hex key to tighten the arbor bolt securely by turning in a counterclockwise direction (FIGURE 20).
14. After lowering the blade guard, hold the rotating lower blade guard and arbor bolt cover in position and tighten
the fixing screw (FIGURE 19).
15. Replace the guard retraction arm and replace the screw to secure the guard retraction arm onto the rotating
blade guard (FIGURE 18).
16. Check that the rotating blade guard operates correctly and covers the blade as the saw arm is raised.
17. Connect the saw to the power source and do a dry run to make sure that the blade is operating correctly.
CROSS-CUTTING WITHOUT SLIDE ACTION
When cutting a narrow piece of wood, it is not necessary to use the slide mechanism. In these cases, ensure that
the slide lock knob is screwed down to prevent the saw arm from sliding (FIGURE 3). A cross cut is made by
cutting across the grain of the work piece. A 90° crosscut is made with the miter table set at 0°. Miter cross cuts are
made with the table set at an angle other than zero.
1. Pull on the release knob (FIGURE 2) and lift the saw arm to its full height.
2. Loosen the miter lock (FIGURE 10).
3. Rotate the miter table until the pointer aligns with the desired angle.
4. Retighten the miter lock.
WARNING: Be sure to tighten the miter lock before making a cut. Failure to do so could result in the
table moving during the cut and may cause serious personal injury.
