Whilst holding the blade clamp assembly open, line up and insert the new saw blade. Let go of the blade clamp assembly to lock the saw blade in position. 3.

Make sure that the blade is clear of any obstruction and that the power cord or any extension cord is out of the path of the blade. 3. Ensure that the material to be cut is held firmly. Small work pieces should be held in a vice or clamped to the workbench. 4. Mark out the cutting line. 5. Press the lock-off button and squeeze the trigger. 6.
