5.Remove the blade and replace with a new one. Make sure the arrow on the blade matches the direction of the arrow embossed on the blade cover.

6.With the flat wrench in place again, reinstall the blade’s hex bolt turning clockwise, and tighten securely.

7.Replace the clear Cover and secure with the three Hex Screws removed earlier.

Cleaning the Saw

1.With the saw turned off and the cord pulled out from the outlet, wipe down all of the external parts of the unit with a damp (not dripping wet) sponge.

2.Make sure that the Water Tray is also cleaned and a container of some type is located below the Drain Plug (E03). Re-

move the plug and drain the water and silt accumulated by the cutting operation.

3.Use more water to clean out the residual silt from the water tray.

4.Replace the Drain Plug. Check condition of the O-Ring (E02) and replace if torn or cut.

5.The cleaning process is faster and easier if the unit is tipped on end and carefully (do not wet the motor) hosed down.

6.Wipe the entire unit down including the sides and Sliding Bars (C16).

7.Clean out the pump by removing the Filter (A26), placing the pump into a con- tainer of clean water, and running it to pump out any remaining silt. Back flush the screen Filter (A26) and replace onto the pump.
