ASSEMBLY

■Wipe a drop of oil onto inner flange bushing and outer blade washer ("D" washer) where they contact blade.

WARNING:

If inner flange bushing has been removed, replace it before placing blade on spindle. Failure to do so could cause an accident since blade will not tighten properly.

■Fit saw blade inside blade guard and onto spindle. NOTE: The saw teeth point upward at the front of the saw as shown in Figure 2.

■Replace "D" washer and spring washer.

NOTE: "Cupped" side of spring washer goes against "D" washer. See Figure 2.

■Replace blade screw. Tighten blade screw securely. NOTE: Turn blade screw clockwise to tighten.

REMEMBER: Never use a blade that is too thick to allow the "D" washer to engage with the flat on the spindle.

SAW BLADES

The best of saw blades will not cut efficiently if they are not kept clean, sharp, and properly set. Using a dull blade will place a heavy load on your saw and increase the danger of kickback. Keep extra blades on hand, so that sharp blades are always available.

Gum and wood pitch hardened on blades will slow your saw down. Remove saw blade from your saw and use gum and pitch remover, hot water, or kerosene to remove these accumulations. DO NOT USE GASOLINE.

BLADE GUARD SYSTEM

See Figure 3.

The lower blade guard attached to your circular saw is there for your protection and safety. It should never be altered for any reason. If it becomes damaged, do not operate your saw until the damage has been repaired or replaced. Always leave guard in operating position when using your saw.

DANGER:

When sawing through work, lower blade guard does not cover blade on the underside of work. Since blade is exposed on underside of work, keep hands and fingers away from cutting area. Any part of your body coming in contact with moving blade will result in serious injury.

Never use saw when guard is not operating correctly. Guard should be checked for correct operation before each use.

NOTE: The guard is operating correctly when it moves freely and readily returns to the closed position. If you drop your saw, check the lower blade guard for damage at all depth settings before reuse.
