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.
1. Make sure that the electrical

plug is removed from the

power point.

2. Push down on the operating

handle (7) and pull the release

knob (6) to disengage the saw

arm (5). The release knob (6)

can be turned so that it is held

in the retracted position (Fig. Y).

3. Raise the saw arm (5) to its

highest position.

4. Using a Phillips head

screwdriver loosen and remove

the screw that secures the

guard retraction arm (13) to

the rotating blade guard (Fig. Z).

5. Using a Phillips head

screwdriver loosen (Fig. a) and

remove the screw that secures

the blade bolt cover (14).

6. Pull the rotating blade guard

(12) down then swing it up

together with the blade bolt

cover (14). When the rotating

blade guard (12) is positioned

over the upper fixed blade

guard (9) it is possible to

access the blade bolt (Fig. b).

7. Hold the rotating guard (12)

up and press the spindle lock

button (26) (Fig. c). Rotate the

blade until the spindle locks.

8. Use the 6mm hex key

provided to loosen and remove

the blade bolt. (Loosen in a

clockwise direction as the

blade screw has a left hand

thread) (Fig. d).

9. Remove the flat washer and

outer blade washer and the

blade.

10. Wipe a drop of oil onto the

inner blade washer and the

outer blade washer where

they contact the blade.

11. Fit the new blade onto the

spindle taking care that

the inner blade washer sits

behind the blade (Fig. e).

CAUTION.

To ensure correct

blade rotation, always install the

blade with the blade teeth and

the arrow printed on the side of

the blade pointing down. The direction of blade rotation is

also stamped with an arrow on the upper blade guard.
