Wipe a drop of oil onto inner blade washer and outer blade
washer (“D” washer) where they contact wheel/blade.
WARNING:
If inner blade washer has been removed, replace it before
placing wheel/blade on spindle. The larger diameter of the
inner blade washer should be placed against the wheel/
blade. Failure to do so could cause an accident since
blade will not tighten properly.
Fit the cutting wheel/blade inside the slot in the base and
onto the spindle.
Replace the outer blade washer (“D” washer). The double
“D” flats on blade washers align with flats on spindle.
Depress and hold the spindle lock button, then replace
the blade screw. Tighten the blade screw securely by
turning it counterclockwise.
Return the 4 mm hex key to the storage area.
NOTE:
Never use a wheel/blade that is too thick to allow
the outer blade washer (“D” washer) to engage with the flats
on the spindle.
REMOVING THE WHEEL/BLADE
See Figures 1 and 3, page 13.
WARNING:
If you are changing a blade immediately after cutting met-
als, be careful not to touch the blade, washer or blade
screw with your hands or fingers. You will get burned
because of the heat buildup from cutting metals. Always
use the wrench provided.
Remove the battery pack from the saw.
Remove the 4 mm hex key from the storage area.
Position the saw as shown, depress the spindle lock but-
ton, and remove the blade screw by turning it clockwise.
Remove the outer blade washer (“D” washer).
Insert 4 mm hex key through the base and push the back
of the wheel/blade up and off of the spindle.
Remove the wheel/blade by sliding it out of the slot in the
base.
INSTALLING/REPLACING CUTTING WHEEL/
BLADE
See Figures 1 - 2, page 13.
DANGER:
Use ONLY Type 1 straight or cut-off wheels (such as the
ones provided with this product). Never attach a Type 27
grinding wheel to this saw. Use for any other purpose is
not recommended and creates a hazard, which will result
in serious injury.
WARNING:
A 3-3/8 in. wheel/blade is the maximum wheel/blade
capacity of the saw. Never use a wheel/blade that is too
thick to allow outer blade washer (“D” washer) to engage
with the flats on the spindle. Larger cutting wheels/blades
will come in contact with the blade guard, while thicker
wheels/blades will prevent blade screw from securing
wheel/blade on spindle. Either of these situations could
result in a serious accident.
Remove the battery pack from the saw.
Select an appropriate cutting wheel/blade.
NOTE:
A metal cutting blade, wood cutting blade, and
tile cutting wheel are provided.
Inspect the wheel/blade for defects such as cracks, chip-
ping, and correct speed rating. If defects are found or the
speed rating is not equal to or greater than 4,780 /min.,
do not use. Select another wheel/blade.
Remove the 4 mm hex key from the storage area.
Place the saw on its side with the spindle facing up.
Depress and hold the spindle lock button and remove the
blade screw and outer blade washer (“D” washer).
NOTE:
Turn the blade screw clockwise to remove.
NOTICE:
To prevent damage to the spindle or spindle lock, always
allow motor to come to a complete stop before engaging
spindle lock.
NOTE:
Do not run the saw with spindle lock engaged.
