ASSEMBLY

ATTACHING THE BLADE

See Figure 2.

WARNING:

A 5-1/2 in. blade is the maximum blade capacity of the 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 guard, while thicker blades will prevent blade screw from se- curing blade on spindle. Either of these situations could result in a serious accident.

Remove the battery pack from the saw.

n Remove the blade wrench (5 mm hex key) from the stor-

age area.

n Depress the spindle lock button and remove the blade

CAUTION:

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