ASSEMBLY
TO INSTALL BLADE
See Figures 15 and 16.
WARNING:
A 10 in. (254 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 situa- tions could result in a serious accident and can cause serious personal injury.
■Unplug your saw.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug your saw could result in accidental starting causing possible serious personal injury.

guard bracket and loosen screw A, securing the blade |
bolt cover, approximately |
