ASSEMBLY
INSTALLING/REPLACING THE BLADE
See Figure 14.
WARNING:
A 10 in. blade is the maximum blade capacity of
the 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 could result in a serious
accident and can cause serious personal injury.
 Unplug the saw.
 Raise the saw arm.
 Rotate the lower blade guard to expose the blade bolt.
 Depress the spindle lock button and rotate the blade bolt
until the spindle locks.
 Using the hex end of the blade wrench, loosen and re-
move the blade bolt from the arbor.
NOTE: The blade bolt has left hand threads. Turn blade
bolt clockwise to loosen.
 Remove the outer blade washer.
NOTE: The inner blade washer is integrated into the
spindle and cannot be removed.
 Wipe a drop of oil onto inner blade washer and outer
blade washer where they contact the blade.
 Rotate the lower blade guard to expose the arbor.
 Fit saw blade inside blade guard and onto the arbor and
against the inner blade washer. The blade teeth point
downward at the front of saw as shown in figure 14.
 Replace the 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.
NOTE: The blade bolt has left hand threads. Turn blade
bolt counterclockwise to tighten.
CAUTION:
Always install the blade with the blade teeth and
the arrow printed on the side of the blade pointing
down at the front of the saw. The direction of blade
rotation is also stamped with an arrow on the upper
blade guard.
 Tighten the blade bolt securely.
 Lower the blade guard.
 Raise and lower the saw arm to ensure the lower blade
guard functions correctly.
