Disconnect the machine from the power source.
CHANGING THE BLADE
1.Use only 12" diameter blades (with 1" arbor holes) that are rated for 5000 RPM or higher.
2.Use the supplied wrench to loosen screws (A) Fig. 42. NOTE: One screw is located under the arbor cover arm.
3.Rotate the arbor cover (C) Fig. 43, and move the guard (D) Fig. 43 to the rear, exposing the arbor screw (E).
4.Remove the arbor screw (E) Fig. 43, by turning screw clockwise with wrench (supplied), while pressing in on arbor lock (F) Fig. 44. Remove the outside blade flange (G) Fig. 43, and saw blade (H) Fig. 43. Do not remove the inside blade flange.
5.Attach the new saw blade. Ensure that the teeth of saw blade are pointing down at the front, and attach the outside blade flange (G) Fig. 43. Check to see that the flats on the outside blade flange are engaged with the flats on the arbor shaft.
6.Thread the arbor screw (E) Fig. 43, into the saw arbor by turning the screw (E) counterclockwise as far as possible by hand. Tighten the arbor screw (E) Fig. 43 with the supplied wrench (J) Fig. 44 while pressing in on the arbor lock
(F) Fig. 44.

KEEP TOOL CLEAN
Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. Clean all plastic parts with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material.
Wear ANSI Z87.1 safety glasses while using compressed air.
FAILURE TO START
Should your tool fail to start, check to make sure the prongs on the cord plug are making good contact with the outlet. Also, check for blown fuses or open circuit breakers in the line.
