than 85%. Ensure good ventilation in the room in which the device is being used. There should be at least
10 cm distance between each side of the device and the wall or other objects. The device should always be
used when positioned on an even, stable, clean, fireproof and dry surface, and be out of the reach of
children and persons with limited mental and sensory functions. Position the device such that you always
have access to the power plug. The power cord connected to the appliance must be properly grounded
and correspond to the technical details on the product label.

Assembling the device
For illustrative purposes, some drawings show the vacuum adaptor installed on the saw. The vacuum
adaptor does NOT have to be installed if a vacuum is not being used.
REMOVING AND INSTALLING A BLADE
Always remove the plug from the power source before removing the blade or adjusting the saw in any
way.
Use caution when handling the blade. It is sharp and can easily cut your hand.
1. Press inward on the shaft locking button (Drawing A).
2. Insert the 5 mm hex key into the blade screw. While pressing inward on the shaft locking button, rotate
the hex key clockwise until the shaft locking button engages with the blade shaft. Continue turning the hex
key clockwise and remove the blade screw and the outer blade flange. The blade screw is a left hand
thread.
3. Rotate the blade guard lever counter clockwise as far as it will go.
4. If there is already a blade installed on the saw, lift the blade off the spindle and slide it out through the
slot in the sole plate.
To reinstall a blade, reverse the above procedure.
a) Make sure the blade teeth are pointing forward at the bottom of the blade.
