TO INSTALL THE BLADE
1. Place inner clamp 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.
