Changing the Saw Blade

55
A
WARNING
Cutting creates friction, which in
54
turn generates heat. Right after cut-
ting, the saw blade may be very hot.
Be extremely careful. Burning haz-
ard!
Wear protective gloves when chang-
ing the saw blade, whether the saw
blade is hot or not. Let a hot saw
blade cool down. Do not clean a hot
saw blade with combustible liquids.
Even after coming to a complete
standstill, the saw blade is danger-
ous and a potential source of seri-
ous injury.
Never handle the saw blade without
protective gloves. When loosening
or tightening the arbor bolt the
retractable blade guard must be
pushed back and the flange guard
swung up in order to expose the saw
blade. It is NOT necessary to remove
the retractable blade guard!
1. Loosen screw (57) and swing flange
guard (58) up.
