1.DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.

2.Remove the screw (A) Fig. 45, and rotate the cover

(B) to the rear (Fig. 46).

3.Depress the arbor lock (A) Fig. 47, to keep the blade from turning.

4.Use the supplied wrench (D) Fig. 48 to loosen the arbor screw (E). Turn it clockwise.

5.Remove the arbor screw (E), outside blade flange (F), and saw blade (G) from the saw arbor.

6.Attach the new blade. BE CERTAIN THAT THE

TEETH OF THE SAW BLADE ARE POINTING DOWN AT THE FRONT. Use the supplied wrench to attach the outside blade flange (F) Fig. 48, and the arbor screw (E). At the same time, depress the arbor lock to keep the blade from turning.

ADJUSTING BLADE GUARD

1.After an extended period of time, the movable blade guard (B) Fig. 45 might move erratically when the cuttinghead is lowered. This can be easily corrected by slightly tightening the nut (C) Fig. 45 until the lower blade guard moves smoothly.

2.As soon as the cuttinghead begins to lower, the lower blade guard (B) Fig. 45 should begin to move. If it does not, loosen the nut (C) slightly until the blade guard

(B) moves smoothly.
