Changing Sawblades

WARNING! To reduce the risk of injury from

contact with a moving part, always unplug the

saw before changing blades.

1. Push in and rotate the FastFix

arbor lock clockwise.

This prevents the arbor from turning and also disables

the motor.

2. Loosen the clamping screw on the arbor bolt guard,

and rotate the guard away from the arbor bolt. (The

combination hex key is stored on the back of the saw

by the power cord.)

3. Unscrew the arbor bolt by turning it clockwise. The

arbor bolt is a left-hand thread and turns the

opposite of a standard screw.

4. Without pushing down on the trigger lock, pull up on

the trigger to release the blade guard.

5. Raise the blade guard out of the way and remove the

outboard arbor flange and sawblade from the arbor.

6. Inspect the friction lining on the two arbor flanges. If

the lining is damaged, replace the flanges, as this can

cause the sawblade to wobble.

Note: The friction lining on the arbor flanges

grips the blade, but also permits the blade to slip

slightly, in the event of a binding condition.

WARNING! When installing a new blade, make

sure the arbor bolt is properly tightened and the

rotation direction of the sawblade matches the

rotation direction indicated on the saw (see image

below).

7. Make sure the blade is oriented correctly and install

the blade onto the inboard arbor flange.

8. Replace the outboard arbor flange, tighten the arbor

bolt, and then unlock the FastFix arbor lock.
