ASSEMBLY WARNING: Make sure the spindle lock button is not engaged before reconnecting saw into power source. Never engage spindle lock button when blade is rotating. Installing / replacing the Blade See Figures 11 - 12. WARNING: A 10 in. blade is the required blade capacity of the saw. Never use a blade that is too thick to allow outer blade washer to engage with the flats on the spindle. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury.  Unplug the saw.  Once blade has stopped, raise saw arm.  Rotate lower blade guard up and remove screw. Rotate blade bolt cover up and back to expose the blade bolt (hex hd.).  Depress the spindle lock button and rotate the blade bolt until the spindle locks.  Using the wrench provided, loosen and remove the blade bolt.
