ADJUSTMENTS
TO INSTALL BLADE
See Figures 15, 16, 17 and 18.
DANGER:
A 8-1/4 in. (209.6 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 situations will result
in a serious accident and can cause serious
personal injury.
■ Remove battery pack from saw.
WARNING:
Failure to remove battery pack from your saw could
result in accidental starting causing possible serious
personal injury.
■ Push down on the saw arm and pull out the lock
pin to release saw arm. Raise saw arm to its full
raised position. Be cautious, saw arm is spring
loaded to raise.
■ Loosen the phillips screw on the blade bolt
cover until blade bolt cover can be raised.
See Figure 15.
■ Gently raise the lower blade guard bracket,
releasing lower blade guard from notch so that
lower blade guard and blade bolt cover can be
rotated up and back to expose the blade bolt.
See Figure 16.
