TO INSTALL OR CHANGE THE
BLADE (FIG. 1)
FIG. 1
1. Unplug the circular saw from the power
supply.
2. Depress the spindle-lock button, place
the blade wrench on the blade bolt and
move it back and forth until you feel the
spindle-lock button depress deeper.
This action locks the blade in position
so the blade bolt can be removed.
3. With the spindle-lock button firmly
depressed, turn the blade bolt
counterclockwise to loosen it.
4. Use the lower-blade-guard lever to raise
the lower blade guard and hold it in the
raised position with the lever.
5. Remove the blade bolt, the outer
washer, and the blade.
6. The remaining, inner washer, that fits
around the spindle shaft, does not need
to be removed.
7. Clean the spindle, washers, upper
guard, and lower guard to remove any
dirt and sawdust.
8. Make sure that the blade teeth and the
arrow on the blade point in the same
direction as the arrow on the upper
guard. Slide the new saw blade inside
the upper blade guard, onto the spindle
shaft and against the inner washer.
9. Replace the outer washer.
10. Depress and hold the spindle-lock
button as you replace the blade and
hand-tighten the bolt in a clockwise
direction. Use the blade wrench to
tighten the blade bolt securely.
11. Return the blade wrench into the
storage area. Make sure that the side of
the wrench with the hexagon is pointing
up.
NOTICE: Do not use a blade wrench with
a longer handle, since it may lead to over
tightening of the blade bolt.
WARNING:
Be sure to wear
protective work gloves while handling
a saw blade. The sharp teeth can injure
unprotected hands.
LED WORK LIGHT (FIG. 2)
The LED work light turns on automatically
when the tool is plugged into a power
source. This provides additional light on the
surface of the workpiece for operation in
lower-light conditions.
