CAUTION:

The blade will be hot right after cutting. Be sure to let the blade cool down before removing it.

Follow these steps: (See. Fig.14)

1.Remove the battery pack from the wood saw. 2.Hold the spindle lock button down. This prevents

the blade from rotating.

NOTE:

Keep the hex wrench in the storage slot on the wood saw’s body when not using it.

4.Remove the hex bolt and outer washer.

5.Use the lower guard lift lever to retract (open) the lower guard.

6.Carefully remove the blade. 7.Clean the wood saw if necessary.

CAUTION:

Be careful to avoid cutting your hands on the blade.

•When disposing of a blade, secure it inside heavy or corrugated paper. This will help prevent anyone from being cut by the discarded blade.
