ASSEMBLY
•
Locate the arbour lock button (5) below the
trigger switch handle. (Fig. 8)
• Press the arbour lock
button
(5), holding
it in firmly while turning the blade wrench
clockwise. This will engage the arbour lock
allowing the arbour bolt to be loosened
with the blade wrench. Continue to hold the
arbour lock button (5), while turning the
wrench clockwise to loosen the arbour bolt.
• Remove the arbour bolt (4), the outer blade
collar (6), the reducer (7) and the blade (8).
Do not remove the inner blade collar. (Fig. 9)
• Raise the lower blade guard (1) to the
upright position to remove the blade. (Fig. 7)
NOTE: Pay attention to the pieces removed,
noting their position and the direction they
face. Wipe the blade collars clean of any
sawdust before installing a new blade.
Installing the Blade (Fig. 7, 8, 9)
• Install a 12" blade with a 5/8" arbour (or a
1" arbour with a 5/8" reducer) making sure
the rotation arrow on the blade matches
the clockwise rotation arrow on the upper
guard, and the blade teeth are pointing
downward at the front of the saw.
• Place the outer blade collar (6) against the
blade and on the arbour. Thread the arbour
bolt (4) onto the arbour in a
counter-clockwise direction. (Fig. 9)
IMPORTANT:
The flat side of the blade collar
must be placed against the blade. Do not
install the collar with the curved side against
the blade.
• Place the blade wrench on the arbour
bolt (4).
•
Press the arbour lock button (5), holding
it in firmly while turning the blade wrench
counter-clockwise. Continue to press it in
