CHANGING THE SAW BLADE
DANGER!
Never try to use a blade larger than the stated
capacity of the saw. Do not use a blade thicker than 1.9mm.
It will prevent the blade screw from properly securing the
blade on the spindle. Install the suitable blade for your cut-
ting operation.
1. Unplug the tool from its power source.
2. Lift the saw arm to the upper position and lock it in place.
Raise the lower blade guard (Fig. 11 - 1) out of the way and
hold it up.

3. Firmly press down the saw spindle lock (
p. 11 - Y
) below the operating handle and hold it in. Use the included
6mm hex wrench to turn the arbor bolt clockwise and remove it (the bolt is left-hand threaded). Remove the
washer, outer flange, and arbor insert. Make sure the inner flange stays in place on the arbor. See Fig. 12.
4. Slowly remove the blade by pulling it out and down. Clean the arbor bolt, washer, outer flange, and arbor insert.
5. Place the arbor insert onto the spindle. Place the new blade over the arbor insert.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure the blade's rotation arrow points in the same direction as the rotation arrow on the upper
blade guard.
6. Reinstall the outer flange, washer, and arbor bolt. Hold down the spindle lock and tighten the arbor bolt with the
hex wrench, turning it counterclockwise. Release the spindle lock.
7. Allow the lower blade guard to return back into position.
IMPORTANT:
Carefully rotate the saw blade and make sure that it does not wobble. Lower the saw arm and check
that the blade does not contact the kerf board, with the saw at 0° and 45° bevel angles. Make sure the lower blade
guard operates properly before using the saw.
