ASSEMBLY

TO INSTALL / REPLACE THE BLADE

See Figures 13 - 14.

WARNING:

A 10 in. blade is the maximum blade capacity of the saw. Never use a blade that is too thick to allow laser guide washer to engage with the flats on the spindle. Larger blades will come in contact with the blade guards, while thicker blades will prevent the blade bolt from secur- ing the blade on the spindle. Either of these situations could result in a serious accident and can cause serious personal injury.

Unplug the saw.

Raise saw arm.

Rotate lower blade guard up and loosen blade bolt cover

screw. Rotate blade bolt cover up and back to expose

the blade bolt.

Depress the spindle lock button and rotate the blade bolt

until the spindle locks.

washer.

Wipe a drop of oil onto inner blade washer and outer

blade washer where they contact the blade.
