Changing a blade

DANGER! Never try to use a blade larger than the stated
capacity of the saw. It might come into contact with the
blade guards. Never use a blade that is too thick to allow the
outer blade washer to engage with the flats on the spindle.
It will prevent the blade screw from properly securing the
blade on the spindle. Do not use the saw to cut metal or
masonry. Ensure that any spacers and spindle rings that
may be required suit the spindle and the blade fitted.

plug is removed from the
power point.

release knob (6) to

retracted position (Fig. g).

its highest position.
