CAUTION:
Empty the dust bag frequently to prevent the duct and the safety cover from becoming
clogged.
Sawdust will accumulate more quickly than normal during bevel cutting.
SAW BLADE MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING
WARNING:
* To prevent an accident or personal injury, always turn off the trigger switch and
disconnect the power plug from the receptacle before removing or installing a saw
blade.
If cutting work is done in a state where the bolt is not sufficiently tightened, the bolt can
get loose, the blade can come off, and the lower guard can get damaged, resulting in
injuries.
Also, check that the bolts are properly tightened before plugging the power plug into
the receptacle.
* If the bolts are attached or detached using tools other than the 10mm box wrench
(standard accessory), excessive or improperly tightening occurs, resulting in injury.
1. Mounting the saw blade (Fig. 44-a, Fig. 44-b, Fig. 44-c and Fig. 44-d)
(1) Rotate the lower guard (plastic) to the top position.
(2) Use the driver to loosen the 5mm screw fastening the spindle cover and then remove the spindle
cover.
(3) Press in spindle lock and loosen 10mm bolt with 17mm box wrench (standard accessory).
Since the bolt is left-hand threaded, loosen by turning it to the right as shown in Fig. 44-c.
NOTE:
If the spindle lock cannot be easily pressed in to lock the spindle, turn the 10mm bolt with
17mm box wrench (standard accessory) while applying pressure on the spindle lock.
The saw blade spindle is locked when the spindle lock is pressed inward.
(4) Remove the 10mm bolt and washer (B).
(5) Lift the lower guard and mount the saw blade.
WARNING:
When mounting the saw blade, confirm that the rotation indicator mark on the saw
blade and the rotation direction of the gear case (see Fig. 1) are properly matched.
(6) Thoroughly clean washer (A), (B) and the 10mm bolt, and install them onto the saw blade spindle.
(1) When the dust bag has become full of sawdust, dust will be
blown out of the dust bag when the saw blade rotates.
Check the dust bag periodically and empty it before it becomes
full.
(2) During bevel and compound cutting, attach the dust bag at a
right angle to the base surface as shown in Fig. 43.
