TOOL ASSEMBLY
Selecting Blade
Select a blade appropriate for your application. Refer to the “Accesso-
ries” section for a list of blades to be used for the proper applications of
this tool.
Always use sharp blades. Dull blades tend to overload the tool and in-
crease the chance of KICKBACK. Only use thin kerf blades with a maxi-
mum safe operating speed greater than the no load RPM marked on the
tool's nameplate. Read the blade manufacturer's instructions before use.
Do not use any type of abrasive cut-off wheel or dry diamond cutting
blades. Use the correct blade type for your application. Using the wrong
blade may result in reduced performance or damage to the blade. Do not
use blades that are cracked or have broken teeth. Do not sharpen ferrous
metal cutting blades; see the blade manufacturer's recommendations
regarding sharpening.
Installing and Removing Blades (Fig. 2 & 3)
1. Remove battery pack.
2. Place the saw on a flat surface with the blade facing upwards. To
remove the bolt from the spindle, push in the spindle lock button.
While holding in the spindle lock button, use the wrench provided
with the tool to turn the bolt clockwise (Fig. 2). Remove the bolt and
blade flange.
3. Slide the lower guard lever up to raise the lower guard. Remove the
blade from the spindle. Always clean the spindle, upper guard and
lower guard to remove any dirt and dust.
4. To install a blade, place the blade on the spindle with the teeth point-
ing in the same direction as the arrow on the lower guard
(Fig. 3). Release the lower guard lever.
To reduce the risk of injury, always remove
battery pack before attaching or removing
accessories. Use only specifically
recommended accessories. Others may be
hazardous.
