Operation, Removing and Installing Blades

OPERATION

Always remove battery from unit before changing the blade, adjusting or servicing. Failure to observe this fundamental rule will result in serious personal injury.

Trim saw blades are sharp. Use care when handling. Blades may cut or nick fingers or hands causing lacera- tions, disfigurement or disability.

Removing and Installing Blades:

1.Remove the Battery.

2.Remove the 4mm Allen® wrench from the left hand side of the trim saw body. Insert the wrench into the blade retaining screw located at the center of the blade.

3.Depress and hold the black button located between the blade guard and the handle grip. Slowly turn the wrench counter-clockwise, (viewed from the end of the screw) until the black button depresses further and the blade is locked.

4.Remove the screw and washer. Retract the blade guard. Note the ori- entation of the teeth. They are point- ed at the saw base at the leading edge. Be careful to avoid touching the saw teeth and slip the blade out of the saw.

5.Insure the teeth on the new blade are in the correct orientation and place the blade on the arbor, then the washer and screw. Tighten the screw (in a clockwise rotation) while depressing the black button previous- ly mentioned.

6.Install the 4mm Allen® wrench into the trim saw body for safe keeping.

Before starting Trim Saw, insure the wrench has been removed from the cap screw on the arbor. If not removed, the wrench could be pro- pelled into the air and may cause serious personal injury.
