TO INSTALL THE BLADE
1. Place
inner
clamp
FIG. 4
washer (O) on saw
spindle with the large
flat surface facing out
toward
the
blade
(Fig. 4, 5).
2. Retract the lower blade
guard (G) and place
blade on saw spindle
against the inner clamp
washer (O), making sure that the blade will rotate in the proper
direction (the direction of the rotation arrow on the saw blade
and the teeth must point in the same direction as the direction of
rotation arrow on the saw). Do not assume that the printing on
the blade will always be facing you when properly installed. When
retracting the lower blade guard to install the blade, check the
condition and operation of the lower blade guard to assure that it
is working properly. Make sure it moves freely and does not touch
the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
