Selecting Blade

Always use sharp blades. Dull blades tend to overload the tool and increase the chance of KICKBACK (see "Operation"). 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

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 in the spindle lock button, use the wrench provided with the tool to turn the bolt counterclockwise (Fig. 2). Remove the bolt and outer blade flange.

3.Slide the lower guard lever up to raise the lower guard. Remove the blade from the spindle. Always clean the spindle, upper guard and lower guard to remove any dirt and sawdust.

NOTE: Do not remove inner blade flange. Larger diameter of inner flange (Fig. 3) should face the blade.
