DeWalt DC9360, DC9280, DC9000 To Replace the Blade Fig, DC310 only To Install the Blade

English

To Install the Blade:

1.Place inner clamp washer (O) on saw spindle with the large flat surface facing out toward the blade (Fig. 4).

2.Retract the lower blade guard (G) and place blade on saw spindle against the inner clamp washer, making sure that the blade will rotate in the proper direction (the direction of the rotation arrow on the saw blade and the teeth must point in the same direction as the direction of rotation arrow on the lower guard). Do not assume that the printing on the blade will always be facing you when properly installed. When retracting the lower blade guard to install the blade, check the condition and operation of the lower blade guard to assure that it is working properly. Make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.

3.Place outer clamp washer (P) on saw spindle with the large flat surface against the blade and the side with ratchet teeth facing out.

4.Thread the keyless blade clamp (H) into saw spindle by hand (clamp has left-hand threads and must be turned counterclockwise to tighten, as shown in Figure 5).

5.Depress the blade lock button (L) while turning the saw spindle by hand until the blade lock engages and the blade stops rotating.

6.Extend the lever on the keyless blade clamp (H) and hand tighten firmly (Fig. 5).

CAUTION: Never engage the blade lock while saw is running or engage in an effort to stop the tool. Never turn the saw on while the blade lock is engaged. Serious damage to your saw will result.

To Replace the Blade (Fig. 4):

1.Depress the blade lock button (L) and turn the saw spindle until the blade lock engages and the blade stops rotating. With the blade lock engaged, extend the lever on the keyless blade clamp and turn clockwise (clamp has left-hand threads and must be turned clockwise to loosen, as shown in Figure 5).

2.Remove the keyless blade clamp (H) and outer clamp washer

(P) only. Remove old blade.

3.Clean any sawdust that may have accumulated in the guard or clamp washer area and check the condition and operation of the lower blade guard as previously outlined. Do not lubricate this area.

4.Select the proper blade for the application (see Blades). Always use blades that are the correct size (diameter) with the proper size and shape center hole for mounting on the saw spindle. Always assure that the maximum recommended speed (rpm) on the saw blade meets or exceeds the speed (rpm) of the saw.

5.Follow steps 2 through 6 under To Install the Blade, making sure that the blade will rotate in the proper direction.
