ATTACHING
THE BLADE
I__
Disconnect
the plug from
the power
source
before
making
any
assembly,
adjustments
or
changing
accessories.
Such
preventive
safety measures
reduce
the risk of starting
the tool accidentally.
1. Press the lock button and turn wrench
until
lock button engages.
Saw shaft is now locked.
Continue
to depress
button,
turn wrench
counter-clockwise
and remove
BLADE
STUD
and OUTER WASHER
(Fig. 2).
2. Retract the lower guard all the way up into
the upper
guard.
While
retracting
the lower
guard, check
operation
and condition
of the
LOWER GUARD
SPRING.
3. Make sure the saw teeth and arrow on the
blade point in the same direction as the arrow
on the lower guard.
4. Slide
blade
through
slot in the foot and
mount it against
the INNER WASHER
on the
shaft. Be sure the large diameter of the INNER
and OUTER
washers
lay flush
against
the
blade.
5. Reinstall
OUTER
WASHER.
First tighten
BLADE
STUD
finger
tight,
then
TIGHTEN
BLADE
STUD
1/8 TURN
(45 °) WITH
THE
WRENCH
PROVIDED.
Do not use wrenches
with longer
handles,
since
it may lead to over
tightening
of the
blade stud.
VARI-TORQUE
CLUTCH
This clutching
action is provided by the friction
of the OUTER
WASHER
against
the BLADE
and permits the blade shaft to turn when the
blade encounters
excessive
resistance.
When
the BLADE
STUD
is properly
tightened
(as
described
in No. 5 of Attaching The Blade), the
blade will slip when it encounters
excessive
resistance,
thus reducing
saw's
tendency
to
KICKBACK.
One setting may not be sufficient
for cutting all
materials.
If excessive
blade slippage
occurs,
tighten the blade stud a fraction of a turn more
(less than 1/8 turn). OVERTIGHTENING
THE
BLADE
STUD NULLIFIES
THE EFFECTIVE-
NESS OF THE CLUTCH.
