Changing Blades
To Install the Blade (Fig.B–E)
1. Remove thebattery.
2. Using the lower guard lever
14
, retract the lower blade
guard
12
and place blade on saw spindle against the inner
clamp washer
22
, making sure that the blade will rotate in
the proper direction (the direction of the rotation arrow on
the saw blade and the teeth must point in the same direction
as the direction of rotation arrow on the saw). Do not assume
that the printing on the blade will always be facing you
when properly installed. When retracting the lower blade
guard to install the blade, check the condition and operation
of the lower blade guard to assure that it is working properly.
Make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or
any other part, in all angles and depths ofcut.
3. Place outer clamp washer
23
on saw spindle with the
beveled edge facing out. Make sure the 30mm diameter on
the blade side of the clamp fits into the 30mm hole in the
saw blade to ensure centring of theblade.
4. Thread the blade clamping screw
13
onto the saw spindle
by hand (screw has right-hand threads and must be turned
clockwise to tighten).
5. Depress the blade lock
5
while turning the saw spindle
with the blade wrench
24
stored underneath the battery
compartment, until the blade lock engages and the blade
stopsrotating.
6. Tighten the blade clamping screw firmly with the
bladewrench.
NOTICE: Never engage the blade lock while saw is running,
or engage in an effort to stop the tool. Never turn the saw
on while the blade lock is engaged. Serious damage to your
saw willresult.
To Replace the Blade (Fig.B–E)
1. Remove thebattery.
2. To loosen the blade clamping screw
13
, depress the
blade lock
5
and turn the saw spindle with the blade
wrench
24
, stored underneath the battery compartment,
until the blade lock engages and the blade stops rotating.
With the blade lock engaged, turn the blade clamping
screw counterclockwise with the blade wrench (screw has
right-hand threads and must be turned counterclockwise to
loosen).
3. Remove the blade clamping screw
13
and outer clamp
washer
23
. Remove oldblade.
4. 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.
5. Select the proper blade for the application (refer to Blades).
Always use blades that are the correct size (diameter)
with the proper size and shape centre 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.
6. Follow steps 1 through 5 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
that reduces the risk of serious personal injury. Never
use the saw if the lower 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 the lower blade guard
for proper closing before each use. 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 authorised service centre
or other qualified service organization, always using
identical replacementparts.
Checking the Lower Guard (Fig.A)
1. Turn tool off and disconnect from powersupply.
2. Rotate the lower guard lever
14
from the fully closed
position to the fully openposition.
3. Release the lever and observe the guard
12
return to the
fully closedposition.
The tool should be serviced by a qualified service centre if it:
• fails to return to the fully closed position,
• moves intermittently or slowly, or
• contacts the blade or any part of the tool in all angles and
depth ofcut.
Blades

WARNING: To minimise 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 metal, plastic, concrete, masonry
or fiber cement materials with thissaw.

Kickback
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned
saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the
workpiece toward the operator. When the blade is pinched or
bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the
motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator.
