SAW BLADE MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING
WARNING:
To prevent an accident or personal injury, always turn off the trigger switch and disconnect
the power plug from the receptacle before removing or installing a saw blade.
1. Mounting the saw blade
(1) Rotate blade guard (plastic), to top position.
(2) Loosen 6 mm screw to free cutter shaft guard.
And rotate cutter shaft guard to the up position.
(3) Press in spindle lock and loosen bolt with wrench.
Since the bolt is left-hand threaded, loosen by turning it to the right as shown in Fig. 34-b.
NOTE:
If the spindle lock cannot be easily pressed in to lock the arbor shaft, turn the bolt with
wrench while applying pressure on the spindle lock.
The arbor shaft is locked when the spindle lock is pressed inward.
(4) Remove the bolt and arbor collar.
(5) Mount the saw blade.
WARNING:
When mounting the saw blade, confirm that the rotation indicator mark on the saw
blade and the rotation direction of the blade guard (metal) are properly matched.
(6) Thoroughly clean arbor collar and the bolt, and install them onto the arbor shaft.
(7) Press in the spindle lock and tighten the bolt by turning it to the left by wrench as indicated in Fig.
34-b.
CAUTION:
* Confirm that the spindle lock has returned to the retract position after installing or
removing the saw blade.
* Tighten the bolt so it does not come loose during operation.
Confirm the bolt has been properly tightened before the power tool is started.
(8) Rotate the cutter shaft guard to the initial position and tighten 6 mm screw.
(9) Place blade guard (plastic) in the down position.
2. Dismounting the saw blade
Dismount the saw blade by reversing the mounting procedures described in paragraph 1 above.
The saw blade can easily be removed after lifting the cutter shaft guard.
CAUTION:
Never attempt to install saw blades larger than 10" (255 mm) in diameter.
Always install saw blades that are 10" (255 mm) in diameter or less.
