Blade
1. Detach the battery pack from circular
saw.
2. Depress the spindle-lock button, insert
the blade wrench into the blade bolt and
rotate it back and forth until you feel the
spindle-lock button depresses deeper.
This action locks the blade in position
so that the blade bolt can be removed.
3. With the spindle-lock button firmly
depressed, turn the blade bolt clockwise
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 flange, 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
counterclockwise direction. Use the
blade wrench to tighten the blade bolt
securely.
11. Return the blade wrench into the
storage area. Make sure the wrench is
securely placed.
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.
