Installing a Blade
1. Unplug the saw.
2. With the arm raised, the lower guard held open and the pivot plate raised, place the
blade on the spindle, onto the blade adapter [if using a blade with a 1" (25.4mm) diam-
eter blade hole] and against the inner clamp washer with the teeth at the bottom of
the blade pointing toward the back of the saw.
3. Assemble the outer clamp washer onto the spindle.
4. Install the blade screw and, engaging the spindle lock, tighten the screw firmly with
wrench provided. (Turn counterclockwise, left-hand threads.)
NOTE: When using blades with a 5/8" (15.88mm) diameter blade hole, the blade adapter
will not be used and should be stored in a safe place for future use.
5. Return the guard bracket to its original position and firmly tighten the guard bracket
screw to hold bracket in place.
WARNING:
• The guard bracket must be returned to its original position
and the screw tightened before activating the saw.
