To install the blade, mount it carefully onto the spindle, making sure that the direction of the arrow on the surface of the blade matches the direction of the arrow on the blade case. Install the outer flange and hex bolt, and then use the socket-wrench to tighten the hex bolt (left-handed)securely counterclockwise while pressing the shaft lock.

Blade case

Return the safety cover and center cover to its original position. Then tighten the hex bolt clockwise to secure the center cover. Release the handle from the raised posi- tion by pulling the stopper pin. Lower the handle to make sure that the safety cover moves properly.

When lowering the handle, the safety cover rises automatically. The cover returns to its original position when the cut is com- pleted and the handle is raised. NEVER DEFEAT OR REMOVE THE SAFETY COVER. In the interest of your personal safety, always maintain the safety cover in good condition. Any irregular operation of the safety cover should be corrected imme diately. NEVER USE THE TOOL WITH A FAULTY SAFETY COVER. If the see-

through safety cover becomes dirty, or sawdust adheres to it in such a way that the blade and/or workpiece is no longer easily visible, remove the battery cartridge and clean the cover carefully with a damp cloth. Do not use solvents or any petroleum-based cleaners on the plastic cover.
