OPERATING
Blade Speed
Refer to the CC3538JK 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.
Wrench
Use the wrench provided when installing or
removing a blade. Apply force to the opposite
end of the wrench and tighten the blade shaft
bolt/screw to 125 ft-lb (169.5 Nm) to secure the
outer flange and blade. Verify this
measurement with a torque wrench.

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 the saw, resulting in
serious injuries or death!
•
DO NOT pivot the front of the blade
guard up or down when installing very
large blades. Attempting to pivot the
front of a heavy guard when the guard
is positioned higher up for blade
installation makes the guard difficult to
lift and/or lower. In this situation,
remove the blade guard front instead of
pivoting it.
•
Always secure the pivoted section of
the blade guard using the detent pin
(guards 26” and up).
CAUTION
•
Wear gloves and be alert to the
surrounding environment when
handling blades.
The blade can be installed on the right or left
side of the saw. Install the blade on the side
preferred or most appropriate for the cutting
task.
1.
Select a blade size and type. Remember to
check the blade for damages and discard
as necessary.
Note: If changing the blade size, adjust and/or
change all necessary saw components
according to the information in the CC3500J
Parts List.
2.
Remove the detent pin (guards 26” and up)
from the guard hinge and pivot the front of
the blade guard 180° (fully upward) to gain
access to the blade flanges.
Detent Pin and Hinge Screw
3.
On pivoted guards, insert the detent pin
through the interlocking barrels on the top
of the guard to secure the front of the
guard.
Note: Failure to fully pivot and secure the front
of the guard may cause serious injuries.
4. Remove the blade shaft screw (clockwise
loosens on right side, counterclockwise
loosens on left side) using the wrench.
5. Carefully remove the outer flange. Inspect
the flange assembly and clean or replace
dirty/damaged components.
6. Place the blade against the inner flange.
For large blades, carefully roll the blade up
to the inner flange. Adjust the height of the
saw to align the flange and blade arbor.
Note: Point the arrow printed on the blade in
the direction of the blade shaft’s rotation.
7.
Align and fit the outer flange and flange pin
through the blade and into the inner flange
and blade shaft.
