Selecting Blade
Always use sharp blades. Dull blades tend to overload the tool and
increase the chance of KICKBACK (see "Causes and Operator Preven-
tion of Kickback"). Only use blades with a maximum safe operating
speed greater than the no load RPM marked on the tool's nameplate.
Read the blade manufacturer's instructions before use.
Installing and Removing Blades on 7-1/4" & 8-1/4" Saws
(Fig. 1 & 2)
1. Unplug tool before installing or removing blades.
2. To remove the bolt from the spindle, push in the spindle lock button.
While holding in the spindle lock button, use the wrench provided
with the tool to turn the bolt counterclockwise (Fig. 1). Remove the
bolt and spindle flange.
Adjusting Depth (7-1/4" Saws) (Fig. 3 & 4)
1. Unplug tool.
2. To adjust the depth of the cut, place the saw on the edge of the
workpiece. While holding the saw by the handle, loosen the depth
adjusting lever by lifting it up and moving toward the blade (Fig. 3).
