ASSEMBLY
BLADE
WARNING:
A 7-1/4 in. blade is the maximum blade capacity of
the saw. Also, never use a blade that is too thick to
allow outer blade washer to engage with the flat on
the spindle. Larger blades will come in contact with
the blade guards, while thicker blades will prevent
blade screw from securing blade on spindle. Either
of these situations could result in a serious accident.
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to the spindle or spindle lock, always
allow motor to come to a complete stop before engaging
spindle lock.
ATTACHING BLADE
See Figures 2 - 3.
n Unplug the saw.
n Depress spindle lock button.
n Remove blade screw by turning it counterclockwise
with the wrench, while keeping the spindle lock button
depressed.
n Remove spring washer and outer blade washer
(“D” washer).
n Wipe a drop of oil onto the inner flange bushing and outer
blade washer (“D” washer) where they contact blade.
WARNING:
If inner flange bushing has been removed, replace it be-
fore placing blade on spindle. Failure to do so will prevent
blade from tightening properly and could result in serious
personal injury.
n Retract the lower blade guard into the upper blade guard
using the lower blade guard handle. Make sure the lower
guard spring works properly, allowing the guard to move
freely.
n Check to see that the saw teeth and arrow on the saw
blade and the arrow on the lower guard are pointing in
the same direction.
NOTE: The saw teeth point upward at the front of the
saw as shown.
