Changing a blade
DANGER! Never try to use a blade larger than the stated
capacity of the saw. It might come into contact with the blade
guards. Never use a blade that is too thick to allow the outer
blade washer to engage with the flats on the spindle. It will
prevent the blade screw from properly securing the blade
on the spindle. Do not use the saw to cut metal or masonry.
Ensure that any spacers and spindle rings that may be
required suit the spindle and the blade fitted.
