Installing or removing saw blade
CAUTION:
•Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the blade.
•Use only the Makita socket wrench provided to install or
remove the blade. Failure to do so may result in
overtightening or insufficient tightening of the hex bolt.
This could cause an injury.
Lock the handle in the raised position by pushing in the stop-
per pin.
To remove the blade, use the socket wrench to loosen the
hex bolt holding the center cover by turning it counterclock-
wise. Raise the blade guard and center cover.
Press the shaft lock to lock the spindle and use the socket
wrench to loosen the hex bolt clockwise. Then remove the
hex bolt, outer flange and blade.
