Installing a saw blade
Note: A saw blade is not supplied with this kit. The
following information is for instructional purposes only.
Caution Always ensure the saw is switched OFF and
the battery pack removed BEFORE attempting to fit or
remove a blade, Making any adjustments or cleaning.
When fitting a blade it is suggested to wear gloves as the
blade cutting edges are sharp.
1) Using the hex key provided
on the trim saw, LOOSEN the
blade clamp screw sufficient for
the blade clamp to move back
away from the flat shaft leaving
a gap of your blade thickness
between the end of the locating
pin and the inside of the blade
clamp. This will be approx
4 turns of the screw. You do
NOT need to remove the
screw
2) In the mounting end of the
blade there is a small hole.
Slide the blade into the
clamp area and pass the
blade between the end of the
locating pin and the inside of
the clamp plate, and locate
the hole in the blade on the
locating pin. Ensure correct
orientation of the blade.
3) Tighten the blade clamp screw
so the clamping plate is just
on the blade. Check the blade
is secure, and the teeth of
the blade are well clear of the
front guard. Then tighten firmly the clamp screw.
4) NOTE, Prior to starting the saw ALWAYS first check the
blade is secure. Tighten if necessary. Failure to do so
may result in serious injury.
