TO INSTALL THE BLADE (FIG. 2–5)

1.Using the lower guard lever (K), retract the lower blade guard (I) and place blade on saw spindle against the inner clamp washer (M), 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 saw). 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.
