the inner blade washer.

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 lower blade guard.
WARNING: To prevent damage to the
spindle lock, always allow the motor to
come to a complete stop before engaging the
spindle lock. Always make sure the spindle
lock is disengaged before reconnecting saw
to the power source.
8) Fit the new blade onto the spindle taking care that the
inner flange sits behind the saw blade.
9) Reposition the outer flange.
10) Depress the spindle lock button and reposition the blade
bolt.

13) Check that the blade guard operates correctly and
covers the blade as the operating handle is lowered.
