[. . . ] 15 STOP BLOCK ASSEMBLY TO INSTALL / REPLACE THE BLADE See Figures 16 - 17. Never use a blade that is too thick to allow outer blade washer to engage with the flats on the spindle. Larger blades will come in contact with the blade guards, while thicker blades will prevent the blade bolt from securing the blade on the spindle. Either of these situations could result in a serious accident and can cause serious personal injury. n Depress the spindle lock button and rotate the blade bolt until the spindle locks. n Wipe a drop of oil onto inner blade washer (or laser guide) and outer blade washer where they contact the blade. Fig. 16 LOWER BLADE GUARD SHOULDER SCREW SCREW BLADE BOLT COVER WARNING: If inner blade washer has been removed, replace it before placing blade on spindle. Failure to do so could cause an accident since blade will not tighten properly. The blade teeth point downward at the front of saw as shown in figure 17. Double "D" flats on blade washers align with flats on spindle. Turn blade bolt counterclockwise to tighten. TO LOOSEN CAUTION: Always install the blade with the blade teeth and the arrow printed on the side of the blade pointing down at the front of the saw. The direction of blade rotation is also stamped with an arrow on the upper blade guard.

[. . . ] Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury. Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommended using this tool for extended work on these types of materials. However, if you do work with any of these materials, it is extremely important to clean the tool using compressed air. WARNING: Failure to unplug the saw could result in accidental starting causing serious injury. [. . . ]
