ATTACHING THE BLADE
See Figure 1, page 13.
WARNING:
A 6-1/2 in. blade is the maximum blade capacity of
the saw. Never use a blade that is too thick to allow
outer blade washer to engage with the flats on the
spindle. Larger blades will come in contact with the
blade guard, while thicker blades will prevent blade
screw from securing blade on spindle. Either of
these situations could result in a serious accident.
