FIGS. 1 – 2
– Press and hold the spindle lock
button (17). The spindle may
rotate slightly before the spindle
lock fully engages.
– Loosen the saw blade locking hex. bolt (3)
anti-clockwise.
– Remove the hex. bolt (3) and the saw blade
locking flange (4). If the rear flange is removed for
cleaning, ensure it is replaced in its correct
orientation.
– Slide the lower blade guard (5) back using tab
(2) and hold.
– Ensure the specification of the replacement blade
conforms with the machine (i.e. outer diameter,
bore diameter, width, rpm and type, e.g.
woodcutting etc.). Before fitting the new blade
wipe a drop of oil on the inner and outer flanges
where the arbor locates.
– Insert the new blade.
Note: Install the blade with the direction of rotation
arrow matching the direction of rotation arrows on the
machine. The teeth face upward at the front of the
saw.
– Reassemble the locking flange (3) and secure the
locking hex. bolt (3) firmly.
Note: This saw is not designed to cut metal or masonry.
It is intended for cutting wood and analogous materials
only.
