INSTALLING THE BLADE
WARNING: Always remove the plug
from the power source before installing or
removing a blade or adjusting the saw in any
way.
1. Place a clean piece of cardboard on a
workbench to protect the blade and the
workbench.
2. Insert the 5 mm blade hex key into the
blade securing bolt (4).( Fig. 1)
3. Press the spindle locking lever (27) AND
Rotate the blade hex screw counter
clockwise and remove both the blade
screw and the outer flange (5). ( Fig. 1)
4. Press the plunge release (12), rotate the
saw head counter clockwise, the base
plate with lower guard (9) in its upper
position. ( Fig. 1)
5. Keep the lower guard (9) in its upper
position. ( Fig. 1)
NOTE: If the arbor turns with the blade screw,
press on the blade locking lever (27) and slowly
rotate the blade screw until the locking lever
engages the spindle (Fig. 2).
The tool is supplied with 2 blades;
Blade (3) – Coarse wood blade suitable for fast
coarse cutting of wood and light density
composite materials (pre-fitted to saw) (Fig. 3)
Blade 40T ( see (26) in Know your Plunge cut
circular saw on page 12) – Fine wood blade for
smooth clean cuts in wood and normal use in
very light density woods and composite
materials.
NOTE: Do NOT remove the inner flange (a)
from the arbor (b). (see Fig.3)
6. Slide the blade upward through the slot in
the base plate and place the blade hole
onto the arbor.
NOTE: Make sure the blade teeth are pointing
toward the front of the saw.
7. Place the outer flange (5) onto the arbor
and thread the blade screw (4) into the
arbour. ( Fig. 1)
8. Tighten the blade screw.
NOTE: Press on the spindle locking lever (27)
and slowly rotate the blade screw clockwise until
the locking lever engages the spindle. Continue
to turn the blade screw clockwise until the blade
is firmly tightened onto the spindle. (Fig. 2)
When installing a new blade, make sure you
follow these precautions:
a) Make sure the teeth at the bottom of the
blade are pointing toward the front of the saw.
b) Check the inner flange washer to make sure
the thicker boss is pointing toward the motor.
d) Make sure the flanged blade screw is NOT
cross threaded and is fully tightened with the
wrench provided.
e) Before turning the saw ON, carefully rotate
the blade by hand to make sure it does not
wobble.
