Selecting Blade

Always use sharp blades. Dull blades tend to overload the tool and increase the chance of KICKBACK (see page 8). Only use blades with a maximum safe operating speed greater than the no load RPM marked on the tool's nameplate. Read the blade manufacturer's instructions before use.

Installing and Removing Blades (Figs. 2 & 3)

1.Unplug tool before installing or removing blades.

2.Place the saw on a flat surface with the blade facing upwards. To remove the bolt from the spindle, push in the spindle lock button. While holding the spindle lock button in, use the wrench provided with the tool to turn the bolt counterclockwise (Fig. 2). Remove the bolt and blade flange.
