ASSEMBLY
TO INSTALL BLADE
See Figures 15 and 16.
WARNING:
A 10 in. (254 mm) blade is the maximum blade capacity
of your saw. Never use a blade that is too thick to allow
outer blade washer to engage with the flats on the spindle.
Larger blades will come in contact with the blade guards,
while thicker blades will prevent the blade bolt from
securing the blade on the spindle. Either of these situa-
tions could result in a serious accident and can cause
serious personal injury.
■ Unplug your saw.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug your saw could result in accidental
starting causing possible serious personal injury.
■ Insert the wrench provided through slot in lower blade
guard bracket and loosen screw A, securing the blade
bolt cover, approximately one-half turn.
■ Rotate lower blade guard and remove screw B. Rotate
blade bolt cover up and back to expose the blade bolt.
■ Push down on the saw arm and pull out the lock pin to
release saw arm. Raise saw arm to its full raised posi-
tion. Be cautious, saw arm is spring loaded to raise.
■ Depress the spindle lock button and rotate the blade
bolt until the spindle locks.
■ Using the wrench provided, loosen and remove the blade
bolt.
Note: The blade bolt has left hand threads. Turn blade
bolt clockwise to loosen.
■ Remove outer blade washer. Do not remove inner blade
washer.
■ Wipe a drop of oil onto inner blade washer and outer
blade washer where they contact the blade.
WARNING:
If inner blade washer has been removed, replace it before
placing blade on spindle. Failure to do so could cause an
accident since blade will not tighten properly.
■ Fit saw blade inside lower blade guard and onto spindle.
The blade teeth point downward at the front of saw as
shown in figure 16.
■ Replace outer blade washer. The double "D" flats on the
blade washers align with the flats on the spindle.
■ Depress spindle lock button and replace blade bolt.
