changing the blades. Use correctly sharpened saw blades.
Observe the maximum speed and tooth type marked on the
saw blade. Only use Black & Decker recommended blades.
To replace the blade (24), proceed as follows:
Using a screwdriver, loosen but do not remove the
screw (37). Do not remove the screw completely as it
will make re-assembly difficult.
Using a screwdriver, loosen but do not remove the
screw (38). Do not remove the screw completely as it
will make re-assembly difficult.
Press the saw arm release lever (26) and rotate the
moveable lower guard (4) counter clockwise and clear
of the blade. Use one hand to hold the guard in place
(fig. O).
Move the spindle guard plate (40) counter clockwise
(fig. O) to give you access to the spindle bolt (39) that
attaches the blade to the mitre saw.
Press the spindle lock button (41) which is located on
the motor housing to lock the saw blade and prevent it
from rotating.
Using the supplied blade spanner, turn the spindle
bolt (39) in a clockwise direction to remove the bolt and
the blade (24).
Fit a replacement blade, make sure that the teeth are
pointing downward and the direction marking on the
blade is the same as that on the mitre saws guard
(clockwise) (fig O).
Loosely fit the spindle bolt (39) by hand and turn counter
clockwise.
Press the spindle lock button (41) which is located on
the motor housing to lock the saw blade and prevent it
from rotating.
Use the blade spanner to tighten the spindle bolt (39)
until the blade is secure.
Allow the moveable lower guard (4) to return to its
original position covering the blade.
Move the spindle guard plate (40) into its original
position and tighten the two screws (37 and 38).
Warning! Never press the spindle lock while the blade is
rotating. Be sure to hold the guard bracket down and firmly
tighten the guard bracket screw after installing the blade.
Warning! The guard bracket must be returned to its original
position and the screw tightened before activating the saw.
Failure to do so may allow the guard to contact the spinning
saw blade resulting in damage to the saw and severe
personal injury.
