ASSEMBLY

WARNING:

Your tool should never be connected to power supply when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, performing maintenance, or when not in use. Disconnecting your tool will prevent accidental starting that could cause serious injury.

WARNING:

7-1/4 in. (184 mm) blade is the maximum blade capacity of your saw. Also, never use a blade that is too thick to allow outer blade washer to engage with the flat on the spindle. Larger blades will come in contact with the blade guards, while thicker blades will prevent blade screw from securing blade on spindle. Either of these situations could result in a serious accident.

ATTACHING BLADE

See Figures 2 and 3.

Follow these directions to attach the blade.

UNPLUG YOUR CIRCULAR SAW.

WARNING:

Failure to unplug the tool could result in accidental starting causing serious injury.

CAUTION:

To prevent damage to the spindle or spindle lock, always allow motor to come to a complete stop before engaging spindle lock.

Depress spindle lock button.

Remove blade screw by turning it counterclockwise with the wrench.

Remove spring washer and outer washer (“D” washer).

Wipe a drop of oil onto inner flange bushing and outer 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 lower blade guard and onto spindle.
