REPLACING THE SAW BLADE
1. Disconnect the machine from the power source
2. Turn the saw blade raising the hand wheel to raise the blade approximately 20mm (0.79”) above
the table surface
3. Remove the throat plate by loosening the cross-head screw at the front of the plate and lifting the
plate out.
4. Place one blade wrench onto the flats of the blade arbor. Place the other wrench onto the arbor
nut. Remove the arbor nut and flange from the saw arbor by turning counter-clockwise. Move the
saw blade to the highest position and remove it.
5. Ensure that the spindle and washer are clean of dust and debris. Place the new saw blade onto
the spindle and make sure the blade teeth point down towards the front of the table. Put the
washer and arbor nut on the spindle and tighten the arbor nut as much as possible by hand. Make
sure that the new saw blade is against the inner flange and the large washer diameter is against
the blade.
6. Lower the blade and place one blade wrench onto the flats on the blade arbor. Place the other
blade wrench onto the arbor nut. Tighten the arbor nut by turning it clockwise.
7. Different saw blades will make different sizes of kerf. Check the adjustment of the rip fence pointer
and the blade guard splitter after changing blades.
