Remove Blade" instructions on page 6. Also remove inner blade washer.
3.Remove pan head screw and bumper. See Figure 18.
4.Remove wing nut, lower depth of cut on base assembly until carriage bolt can be removed, then remove carriage bolt. Rotate base assembly until it clears lower blade guard.
5.Using a 3/16" flat blade screwdriver or needle-
nose pliers, remove retaining ring from blade
guard support. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES OR EYESHIELDS.
6.Remove lower blade guard from your saw and clean. Also clean blade guard support area. NOTE: When cleaning use an air hose, clean soft cloth or brush.
