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.
