Blade removal and installation (Fig. 13-15)
WARNING: To prevent personal injury, always turn saw OFF and disconnect the plug from the power
source before changing blades or making adjustments.
This saw uses pin-end and pin-less blades. Pin-end blades are thicker for stability and for faster assembly.
They provide faster cutting on a variety of materials.
Note: When installing pin-end blades, the slot on the blade holder must be slightly wider than the
thickness of the blade. After the blade is installed, the blade tension mechanism will keep it in place.
1. Loosen the blade tension by raising the blade tension lock lever (1).
2. To remove a blade:
Pinned: Lift the blade (2) out and away from the upper and lower
blade holders (3).
Pin-less: Loosen the upper and lower blade holders (3), and lift the
blade out and away from the blade holders.
CAUTION: Install the blade with the teeth pointed downward.
3. Install a pinned blade:
a. Hook a blade (2) in the recess of the lower blade holder.
b. Press down on the upper blade holder and insert the blade
into the slot on the upper holder.
c. Lower the blade tension lock lever (1). Make sure the blade is
properly located in the blade holders.
4. Install a pinless blade:
a. Place a blade (2) in the upper and lower blade holders (3).
b. Tighten the lower and upper blade knobs (4) by hand or
provided allen wrench.
c. Lower the blade tension lock lever (1). Make sure the blade is
properly located in the blade holders.
