English TO REPLACE THE BLADE (FIG. 4, 5) 1. To loosen the blade clamping screw (H), depress the blade lock button (K) and turn the saw spindle with the blade wrench (N) until the blade lock engages and the blade stops rotating. With the blade lock engaged, turn the blade clamping screw clockwise with the blade wrench (screw has left-hand threads and must be turned clockwise to loosen). FIG. 5 K LOOSEN (clockwise) N TIGHTEN (counterclockwise) 2. Remove the blade clamping screw (H) and outer clamp washer (P) only. Remove old blade. 3. Clean any sawdust that may have accumulated in the guard or clamp washer area and check the condition and operation of the lower blade guard as previously outlined. Do not lubricate this area. 4. Select the proper blade for the application (see Blades). Always use blades that are the correct size (diameter) with the proper size and shape center hole for mounting on the saw spindle. Always assure that the maximum recommended speed (rpm) on the saw blade meets or exceeds the speed (rpm) of the saw. 5. Follow steps 2 through 6 under To Install the Blade, making sure that the blade will rotate in the proper direction. LOWER BLADE GUARD WARNING: The lower blade guard is a safety feature which reduces the risk of serious personal injury. Never use the saw if the lower blade guard is missing, damaged, misassembled or not working properly. Do not rely on the lower blade guard to protect you under all circumstances. Your safety depends on following all warnings and precautions as well as proper operation of the saw. Check lower blade guard for proper closing before each use as outlined in Further Safety Instructions for All Saws. If the lower blade guard is missing or not working properly, have the saw serviced before using. To assure product safety and reliability, repair, maintenance and adjustment should be performed by an authorized service center or other qualified service organization, always using identical replacement parts. Blades WARNING: To minimize the risk of eye injury, always use eye protection. Carbide is a hard but brittle material. Foreign objects in the workpiece such as wire or nails can cause tips to crack or break. Only operate saw when proper saw blade guard is in place. Mount blade securely in proper rotation before using, and always use a clean, sharp blade. WARNING: Do not cut ferrous metals (steel), masonry, glass, masonry-type planking, cement board or tile with this saw. Do not use abrasive wheels or blades. A dull blade will cause slow inefficient cutting, overload on the saw motor, excessive splintering, and could increase the possibility of kickback. Please refer to the table below to determine the correct size replacement blade for your model saw. 13
