Ryobi CSB141LZ manual Attaching Blade, See Figures 2

ASSEMBLY

WARNING:

A 7-1/4 in. blade is the maximum blade capacity of the 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.

CAUTION:

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

nFit the saw blade inside the lower blade guard and onto the spindle.
