Blade Speed
Refer to the CC6566 or CC6566-3 RPM Chart, the
blade, or the blade packaging information for the
recommended blade speeds when cutting. DO
NOT exceed the maximum recommended blade
speed. DO NOT use a blade for cutting that
requires a lower speed than the minimum blade
shaft speed.

Installing the Blade
WARNING
 DO NOT install a blade with the
engine running.

Failure to properly secure the
outer flange and blade may cause parts to
loosen or fall off of the saw.
CAUTION
 Wear gloves and be alert to the
surrounding environment when handling
blades.
Wrench
Use the 15/16” combination wrench that comes
with the saw when installing/removing a blade.
Apply force to the opposite end of the wrench and
tighten the bolt to 125 ft-lb (169.5 Nm) to properly
secure the outer flange and blade. This
measurement can be verified with a torque wrench.
Figure 9: Wrench
Install the blade on either the right or left side of the
saw; utilize the most appropriate side for the cutting
task. Adjust the engine governor setting, as
necessary, and install the appropriate blade shaft
sheave, blade drive belts, and flanges when
changing the blade size. Refer to the RPM Chart
posted on the saw, or in the Diamond Products’
Parts List for additional information.
1. Remove the blade guard or pivot the front of the
guard 180° (fully upward) to gain access to the
blade flanges. Secure with pin.

2. Remove the blade shaft bolt using the wrench.

the right side of the saw, and counterclockwise
(right-hand threads) on the left side of the saw.
3. Remove the bolt and wedge lock washer, and
carefully pull the outer flange out of the inner
flange alignment pin hole and blade shaft.
