4. Installation
Follow these steps to replace the blade locking bolt:
- Disconnect Power: Ensure the Dremel tool is unplugged from the power outlet.
- Remove Old Bolt: Locate the existing blade locking bolt on your Dremel Saw Max or Ultra Saw. Use an appropriate tool (e.g., an Allen wrench or screwdriver, depending on the bolt head) to loosen and remove the old bolt.
- Remove Blade (if necessary): If the blade is still attached, carefully remove it after the old bolt is out.
- Inspect Area: Clean any debris or dust from the blade mounting area and the bolt's threaded hole.

- Tighten Bolt: Hand-tighten the new bolt initially, then use the appropriate tool to tighten it securely. Do not overtighten. The bolt should hold the blade firmly in place without excessive force.
- Verify Installation: Gently attempt to move the blade by hand to ensure it is securely fastened and does not wobble.
- Test Tool: Reconnect the tool to power and perform a brief, unloaded test run to ensure proper function before use.
