4. Depress the blade lock 3
the blade wrench until the blade lock engages and the blade
stops rotating.
5. Tighten the blade clamping screw firmly with the
blade wrench.
nOtE: 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. B–D)
1. To loosen the blade clamping screw
lock 3 and turn the saw spindle with the blade wrench
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
washer 14 . 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.
4. Always use blades that are the correct size (diameter) with
the proper size and shape center hole for mounting on the saw
spindle. Always assure that the maximum recommended speed
(rpm) on the saw blade meets or exceeds the speed (rpm) of
the saw.
5. Follow steps 1 through 5 under To Install the Blade, making
sure that the blade will rotate in the proper direction.
Lower Blade Guard

WARNING: The lower blade guard is a safety feature which
reduces the risk of serious personal injury. Never use the saw
if the lower guard is missing, damaged, misassembled or not
working properly. Do not rely on the lower blade guard to protect
you under all circumstances. Your safety depends on following
all warnings and precautions as well as proper operation of the
saw. Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. If the
lower blade guard is missing or not working properly, have the
saw serviced before using. To assure product safety and reliability,
repair, maintenance and adjustment should be performed by an
authorized service center or other qualified service organization,
always using identical replacement parts.
Checking the Lower Guard (Fig. A)
1. Turn tool off and disconnect from power supply.
2. Rotate the lower guard lever (Fig. A,
closed position to the fully open position.
3. Release the lever 11 and observe the guard
fully closed position.
The tool should be serviced by a qualified service center if it:
• fails to return to the fully closed position,
• moves intermittently or slowly, or
• contacts the blade or any part of the tool in all angles and
depth of cut.
Depth of Cut Adjustment (Fig. E–G)
1. Raise the depth adjustment lever
2. To obtain the correct depth of cut, align the notch
depth adjustment strap with the appropriate mark on the upper
blade guard 12 .
3. Tighten the depth adjustment lever.

4. For the most efficient cutting action using a carbide tipped
saw blade, set the depth adjustment so that about one half of a
tooth projects below the surface of the wood to be cut.
5. A method of checking for the correct cutting depth is shown
in Figure G. Lay a piece of the material you plan to cut along
the side of the blade, as shown in the figure, and observe how
much tooth projects beyond the material.

Kerf Indicator (Fig. I)
The front of the saw shoe has a kerf indicator
bevel cutting. This indicator enables you to guide the saw along
cutting lines penciled on the material being cut. The indicator
lines up with the left (inner) side of the saw blade, which makes
the slot or "kerf" cut by the moving blade fall to the right of the
indicator. The notches on the base plate indicate 0˚ and 45˚.
Adjustable Cord Protector (Fig. J)
The adjustable cord protector
positioned vertical or parallel to the blade. It is shipped in the
vertical position.
To Obtain the Parallel Position (Fig. J1)
1. Press the cord protector
2. Rotate the cord protector clockwise to the parallel position.
To Obtain the Vertical Position (Fig. J2)
1. Press the cord protector
2. Rotate the cord protector counterclockwise to the
vertical position.
