Changing Blades

TO INSTALL THE BLADE (FIG. 2–5)
1. Using the lower guard lever (l), retract the lower
blade guard (j) and place blade on saw spindle
against the inner clamp washer (n), making
sure that the blade will rotate in the proper
direction (the direction of the rotation arrow
on the saw blade and the teeth must point in
the same direction as the direction of rotation
arrow on the saw). Do not assume that the
printing on the blade will always be facing you
when properly installed. When retracting the
lower blade guard to install the blade, check
the condition and operation of the lower blade
guard to assure that it is working properly. Make
sure it moves freely and does not touch the
blade or any other part, in all angles and depths
of cut.
2. Place outer clamp washer (o) on saw spindle
with the beveled edge facing out. Make sure the
30 mm diameter on the blade side of the clamp
fits into the 30 mm hole in the saw blade to
ensure centering of the blade.
3. Thread the blade clamping screw (k) onto the
saw spindle by hand (screw has right-hand
threads and must be turned clockwise to
tighten).
4. Depress the blade lock (d) while turning the
saw spindle with the blade wrench (p) stored
underneath the main handle (c) (fig. 5), until
the blade lock engages and the blade stops
rotating.
5. Tighten the blade clamping screw firmly with the
blade wrench.
NOTICE: Never engage the blade lock
while saw is running, or engage in an
effort to stop the tool. Never turn the
saw on while the blade lock is engaged.
Serious damage to your saw will result.
TO REPLACE THE BLADE (FIG. 2–5)
1. To loosen the blade clamping screw (k), depress
the blade lock (d) and turn the saw spindle with
the blade wrench (p), stored underneath the
main handle (c), until the blade lock engages
and the blade stops rotating. With the blade
lock engaged, turn the blade clamping screw
counterclockwise with the blade wrench (screw
has right-hand threads and must be turned
counterclockwise to loosen).
2. Remove the blade clamping screw (k) and outer
clamp washer (o). Remove old blade.
3. Clean any sawdust that may have accumulated
in the guard or clamp washer area and check
the condition and operation of the lower blade
guard as previously outlined. Do not lubricate
this area.
