Remove the lower front guard
By trial and error, this is the best method we have found for changing the saw blade.
Locate the nippled 'Y' wrench and the 13mm A/F box spanner. Put to hand.
Put the saw in the housed position.
Remove the lower front fixed guard, by undoing the two fixing screws, put carefully aside.
(See Fig 22)
Engage the 'Y' wrench into the two holes in the saw plate flange, hold the wrench against
the saw plate flange and rotate the blade, at the same time guiding the wrench handle up
into the rear of the top guard. (See Fig 23)
DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY
!
Turn the blade until the wrench handle fetches up against the guard, then engage the box
spanner and loosen the arbor bolt (REMEMBER LEFTHAND THREAD).
Turn the blade down and remove the 'Y' wrench. Release the latching pin and allow the saw
to rise to the 'up' position.
Remove the arbor bolt and the saw plate flange washer. Take care, the blade can now come
away from the saw.
Move the interlock lever to allow the lower guard to be moved.
Rotate the lower guard section by pushing up into the upper guard section. Carefully lift
the saw blade clear, 'wriggling' as necessary
Be careful that you do not knock, hit, scratch or scrape the laser whilst you are
manoeuvring the blade out of the machine.
