1. Raise the saw blade to it’s highest point. Remove the
saw blade crown guard and place to one side. Pull the
sliding table locking knob towards you and slide the
table to the side exposing the blades.
2. Remove the two Phillips screws holding the inner
guard and place both safely to one side, see fig 125-126.

6. Check the new blade for damage, missing teeth,
sharpness etc. Fit the new blade, ensure that the teeth
are pointing towards the front of the machine. Put the
saw plate washer onto the shaft and replace the cap
head screw until finger tight and check the saw is
correctly seated.
7. Tighten up the cap head screw, using the blade locking
bar (C) to hold the shaft steady. Check the riving knife is
aligned with the saw blade, and correctly positioned, (see
setting the riving knife gap on page 32) .
