ATTACHING BLADE
See Figures 2 - 3.

Unplug the saw.
 Depress and hold spindle lock.
 Remove blade screw by turning it counterclockwise with
the provided wrench, while keeping the spindle lock
depressed.

WARNING:
If inner flange bushing has been removed, replace it
before placing blade on spindle. Failure to do so could
cause an accident since blade will not tighten properly.
 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.
 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.
 Fit the saw blade inside the lower blade guard and onto
the spindle.
 Reinstall “D” washer.
 Reinstall spring washer.
 Depress and hold spindle lock and replace blade
screw.
 Tighten blade screw securely by turning it clockwise with
the wrench.
NOTE: Never use a blade that is too thick to allow the
“D” washer to engage with the flat on the spindle.
