Changing Blades

CAUTION: TURN OFF TOOL AND REMOVE BATTERY PACK
FROM SAW BEFORE CHANGING ACCESSORIES OR MAKING
ANY ADJUSTMENTS.
This tool is equipped with a keyless blade clamp (H) and is
designed to be tightened by hand. The use of external tools may
cause damage to this blade clamp.
TO INSTALL THE BLADE
1. Place inner clamp washer (O) on saw spindle with the large flat
surface facing out toward the blade (Fig. 4).
2. Retract the lower blade guard (G) and place blade on saw spin-
dle against the inner clamp washer, 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 lower guard).
Do not assume that the printing on the blade will always be fac-
ing 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.
3. Place outer clamp washer (P) on saw spindle with the large flat
surface against the blade and the side with ratchet teeth facing
out.
4. Thread the keyless blade clamp (H) into saw spindle by hand
(clamp has left-hand threads and must be turned counterclock-
wise to tighten).
