Conair CTS 7 manual Blade Replacement, Wait at least five minutes for the blade to stop completely

1 Lock out and tag out the power to the saw. See Section 1: Introduction, How to use the Lockout Device.

2 Wait at least five minutes for the blade to stop completely.

IMPORTANT: Always note the blade tooth direction when removing blade to insure that the replacement blade is installed the same. Rotating a carbide blade in the wrong direction will usually damage the blade. As standard, the blade rotation should have the top of the blade rotating away from the front or operator side of the unit.

3 Open the rear access door of the machine.

4 Remove the screws that retain the blade door to the blade shroud and hinge open the door.

5 Remove the hex nut.

The blade is held on with a hex nut tightened on the motor arbor shaft. Based on either right to left or left to right saw operation, the hex nut will be either a left hand or right hand thread. A right to left saw operation means that the product is entering the saw from the right side. A right to left operating saw will use a left-handed threaded arbor. This is done to insure that the arbor nut will want to con- tinually tighten during blade rotation. The motor has an arrow on the housing to indicate the arbor rotation. Remove the hex nut using the spanner wrench provided to hold the blade shaft. The saw blades will be removable at this time.
