SELECTING A BLADE
A combination blade is furnished with your saw and is an excellent blade for all
general ripping and crosscutting operations. Use a fine-tooth blade for cutting
plywood. A diamond blade is available for dry cutting concrete, brick, stone, etc.
REMOVING THE BLADE
Disconnect the tool from the power source!
1. Push in the blade lock (A) Fig. 1 and
rotate the blade by hand until the
lock engages the blade arbor.
2. While holding the blade lock
engaged, use the wrench provided
(B) Fig. 1, and loosen the blade
re t a i n i n g b o l t b y ro t a t i n g i t
clockwise.
NOTE: The blade retaining bolt has a
left-hand thread.
3. Remove the blade retaining bolt,
release the blade lock, and remove the
outer blade flange.
4. Retract the telescoping guard and remove the blade.
INSTALLING THE BLADE
Disconnect the tool from the power source!
1. Remove any sawdust from the
guards, around the arbor, and the
telescoping guard spring. Check the
telescoping guard to ensure that it is
in working order.
2. Clean the inner blade flange and
retract the telescoping guard. Place
a new blade on the arbor, and make
sure that the teeth point up at the
front of the saw (Fig. 2.).
Avoid contact with the
blade teeth to prevent injury.
3. Place the outer blade flange on the arbor with the flange toward the blade.
Mate it with the flats on the arbor.
4. Replace and finger-tighten the blade-retaining bolt by turning it counter-
clockwise.
5. Push in the blade lock and rotate the blade arbor by hand until the lock
engages the arbor. Tighten the blade retaining bolt just enough to prevent
blade slippage during normal cutting. Release the blade lock.
