ASSEMBLY TO INSTALL BLADE See Figures 11 and 12. WARNING: A 10 in. (254 mm) blade is the maximum blade capacity of your saw. Never use a blade that is too thick to allow outer blade washer to engage with the flats on the spindle. Larger blades will come in contact with the blade guards, while thicker blades will prevent the blade bolt from securing the blade on the spindle. Either of these situations could result in a serious accident and can cause serious personal injury. I Unplug your saw. SPINDLE LOCK BUTTON WARNING: Failure to unplug your saw could result in accidental starting causing possible serious personal injury. I Raise saw arm. I Loosen screw A on the blade bolt cover. I Rotate lower blade guard up and remove screw B. Rotate blade bolt cover up and back to expose the blade bolt. I Depress the spindle lock button and rotate the blade bolt until the spindle locks. I Using the wrench provided, loosen and remove the blade bolt. See figure 11. NOTE: The blade bolt has left hand threads. Turn blade bolt clockwise to loosen. I Remove outer blade washer. Do not remove inner blade washer. I Wipe a drop of oil onto inner blade washer and outer blade washer where they contact the blade. SCREW A LOWER BLADE GUARD BLADE BOLT COVER Fig. 11 SCREW B WARNING: If inner blade washer has been removed, replace it before placing blade on spindle.
