CHANGING THE BLADE

DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER
SOURCE.
NEVER DEPRESS THE SPINDLE LOCK
BUTTON WHILE THE BLADE IS UNDER POWER
OR COASTING. DO NOT CUT FERROUS METAL
(CONTAINING IRON OR STEEL) OR MASONRY OR
FIBER CEMENT PRODUCT WITH THIS MITER SAW.
To remove the blade:
1. Unplug the saw.
2. Raise the arm to the upper position and raise the lower
guard (A) Fig. 36 as far as possible.
3. Loosen, but do not remove guard bracket screw (B)
until the bracket (C) can be raised far enough to access
the blade screw (D). Lower guard will remain raised due
to the position of the guard bracket screw, as shown in
Fig. 37.
4. Depress the spindle lock button (F) Fig. 37A while
carefully rotating the saw blade by hand until the lock
engages.
5. Keeping the button depressed, use the wrench provided
to loosen the blade screw (D). (Turn clockwise, left-
hand threads)
6. Remove the blade screw (D), outer clamp washer (E),
and blade. The 1" (25.4mm) blade adapter, if used, and
the inner clamp washer, may be left on the spindle.
NOTE: For blades with a blade hole of 5/8" (15.88mm), the
1" (25.4mm) blade adapter is not used.
To install the blade:
1. Unplug the saw.
2. With the arm raised and the lower guard held open,
place the blade on the spindle, onto the blade adapter
(if using a blade with a 1" (25.4mm) diameter blade
hole) and against the inner clamp washer. Make sure
the teeth at the bottom of the blade are pointing toward
the back of the saw.
3. Assemble the outer clamp washer onto the spindle.
4. Install the blade screw and, engaging the spindle
lock (F) Fig. 37A, tighten the screw firmly with wrench
provided. (Turn counterclockwise, left-hand threads).
NOTE: When using blades with a 5/8" (15.88mm) diameter
blade hole, the blade adapter will not be used and
should be stored in a safe place for future use.
5. Return the guard bracket to its original position and
firmly tighten the guard bracket screw to hold bracket
in place.
THE GUARD BRACKET MUST BE
RETURNED TO ITS ORIGINAL POSITION AND
THE SCREW TIGHTENED BEFORE ACTIVATING
THE SAW. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY ALLOW THE
GUARD TO CONTACT THE SPINNING SAW BLADE
RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO THE SAW AND SEVERE
PERSONAL INJURY.
