Attaching Blade - Ridgid R3402 Manuel D'utilisation

ASSEMBLY
WARNING:
Do not connect to power supply until assembly
is complete. Failure to comply could result in
accidental starting and possible serious personal
injury.
WARNING:
5 in. blade is the maximum blade capacity of the
saw. Also, never use a blade that is too thick to
allow outer blade washer to engage with the flat
on the spindle. Larger blades will come in con-
tact with the blade guides, while thicker blades
will prevent blade screw from securing blade on
spindle. Either of these situations could result in a
serious accident.
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to the spindle or spindle lock,
always allow motor to come to a complete stop
before engaging spindle lock.

ATTACHING BLADE

See Figures 2 - 3, page 17.
 Unplug the saw.
 Depress and hold spindle lock.
 Remove blade screw by turning it counterclockwise with
the blade wrench, while keeping the spindle lock button
depressed.
 Remove outer blade washer ("D" washer).
WARNING:
If inner flange bushing has been removed, replace
it before placing blade on spindle. Failure to do
so will prevent blade from tightening properly and
could result in serious personal injury.
 Retract the lower guard into the upper guard, making
sure the lower guard spring works properly, allowing the
guard to move freely.
 Check to see that the saw teeth and arrow on the saw
blade and the arrow on the lower guard are pointing in
the same direction.
NOTE: The saw teeth point upward at the front of the
saw as shown.
 Fit the saw blade inside the lower blade guard and onto
the spindle.
 Replace "D" washer.
 Depress spindle lock and replace blade screw.
 Tighten blade screw securely by turning it clockwise with
the blade wrench.
NOTE: Never use a blade that is too thick to allow the
"D" washer to engage with the flats on the spindle.
