ADJUSTMENTS

TO INSTALL BLADE

See Figures 15, 16, 17 and 18.

DANGER:

A 8-1/4 in. (209.6 mm) blade is the maximum blade capacity of your saw. Never use a blade that is too thick to allow outer blade washer to engage with the flats on the spindle. Larger blades will come in contact with the blade guards, while thicker blades will prevent the blade bolt from securing the blade on the spindle. Either of these situations will result in a serious accident and can cause serious personal injury.

Remove battery pack from saw.

WARNING:

Failure to remove battery pack from your saw could result in accidental starting causing possible serious personal injury.

Push down on the saw arm and pull out the lock pin to release saw arm. Raise saw arm to its full raised position. Be cautious, saw arm is spring loaded to raise.

Loosen the phillips screw on the blade bolt cover until blade bolt cover can be raised. See Figure 15.

Gently raise the lower blade guard bracket, releasing lower blade guard from notch so that lower blade guard and blade bolt cover can be rotated up and back to expose the blade bolt. See Figure 16.
