ASSEMBLY
TO INSTALL / REPLACE THE BLADE
See Figures 13 - 14.
WARNING:
A 10 in. blade is the maximum blade capacity of the saw. Never use a blade that is too thick to allow laser guide 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 secur- ing the blade on the spindle. Either of these situations could result in a serious accident and can cause serious personal injury.
