Installing or removing saw blade
002503
CAUTION:
• Always clean out all chips or foreign matter adhering to
the blade, blade clamp and/or slider. Failure to do so
may cause insufficient tightening of the blade, resulting
in a serious injury.
To install the blade, loosen the screw on the blade clamp with
the hex wrench. Insert the blade between the blade clamp
and the slider so that the pin on the slider fits into the hole in
the blade shank. If the pin cannot easily fit into the hole,
remove the hex wrench from the screw and then try again.
After the pin fits properly into the hole, tighten the screw
clockwise securely while making sure that the blade cannot
be extracted even though you try to pull it out.

CAUTION:
1
• If you tighten the screw without the pin on the slider
fitting properly in the hole in the blade shank, the pin or
4
the blade shank will be damaged. This may cause the
blade to be extracted unexpectedly during operation.
6
To remove the blade, follow the installation procedure in
reverse.
CAUTION:
• Always press the shoe firmly against the workpiece
during operation. If the shoe is held away from the
workpiece during operation, strong vibration and/or
twisting will be produced, causing the blade to snap
dangerously.
• Always wear gloves to protect your hands from hot flying
chips when cutting metal.
• Be sure to always wear suitable eye protection which
conforms with current national standards.
• Always use a suitable coolant (cutting oil) when cutting
metal. Failure to do so will cause premature blade wear.
