How do I safely replace the blade on my Ozito PXSMSS-036 Cordless Sliding Mitre Saw?

Replacing the blade on your Ozito PXSMSS-036 Cordless Sliding Mitre Saw requires a few simple steps. First, prioritize safety: remove the battery pack and raise the cutting head. If the head lock-down pin is engaged, release it. Now, lift and hold the lower guard out of the way. Next, use the combination key provided with your saw and place it on the blade bolt located in the center of the blade. Press the spindle lock button; you should hear it click into place when engaged. Use the combination key to loosen the blade bolt by turning it clockwise, remembering that it has a left-hand thread. Remove the blade bolt and the outer flange. Carefully pull the blade away from the spindle. Set the bolt aside for the new blade. Install the new blade onto the spindle, ensuring it sits on the inner flange. Replace the outer flange with the cupped side against the blade, followed by the blade bolt. Again, use the combination key on the blade bolt and engage the spindle lock. Tighten the blade bolt by turning the combination key anti-clockwise. Remember to always use the correct blade bush if required for your specific blade and saw. After changing the blade, confirm the retractable blade guard functions correctly and that the blade spins freely within the guard.
