Replacing the blade in your Makita circular saw

• Use only the recommended replacement blades in your circular saw. Never use a blade that is too thick to allow the outer blade washer to engage with the flats on the spindle. Thicker blades can prevent the blade screw from securing the blade on the spindle, resulting in serious personal injury.
• Wear work gloves to protect your hands when replacing the blade. Unplug the circular saw or remove the battery pack from the saw before replacing the blade.
• Loosen the depth-of-cut quick adjustment clamp lever and raise the saw to the maximum height then tighten the depth adjustment clamp lever.
• Depress the spindle-lock button. Place the hex wrench in the blade screw and move the wrench back and forth until you feel the spindle lock button depress fully to lock the blade.
• Turn the blade screw clockwise with the wrench to remove the blade screw. Raise the lower blade guard then remove the blade screw, outer blade washer and the blade.
• Place the new blade inside the lower blade guard and onto the spindles shaft. Replace the outer blade washer. Hold the spindle lock button in and reinstall the blade screw.
