1. Loosen the retaining screw and remove the table
insert plate, A.
2. Install a saw blade (not supplied with the saw) so
that the openings between the teeth face the front of
the saw
(
the blade spins in the counter-clockwise direction).
3. Replace the flange and arbor nut. Wedge a board
between the saw teeth at the back of the saw, B, so
the blade won’t turn as you tighten the nut clockwise
with the arbor wrench.
Remove a saw blade: wedge a block of wood between
the teeth in front of the saw and turn the arbor wrench
toward you, or counter-clockwise.
NOTE: This saw is intended for use with 10" (250mm) diameter or less
s
aw blades having a center hole diameter of 5/8". There are many
types of blades available to perform specific cutting jobs, such as
c
rosscuts or ripping only, or for use with plywood, panelling and
other products. A good quality specialty blade can produce a finer
f
inish, be more efficient and place less strain on the saw. Use only
saw blades designed for use at a maximum operating speed of 6000
RPM or less. Saw blades should be kept clean and sharp. Never store
s
aw blades by stacking them directly in contact with each other.
Place a layer of cardboard or similar material between the blades to
keep them from coming into contact with each other.

SELECT A RIVING KNIFE
Two riving knives are provided:
- A combination riving style splitter and blade guard
with anti-kickback pawls A;
- A European style riving knife without blade guard
B.
The riving knife must always be used with a blade guard.
If you already own an independently attached blade-
guard such as our Excalibur 50-EXBC10, use the riving knife
B. If you do not already own a blade guard, use the split-
ter/blade guard assembly A.
THE BLADE MUST NEVER REMAIN EXPOSED WHEN USING THE SAW. TO PREVENT THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURIES, ALWAYS
COVER THE BLADE WITH A BLADE GUARD.
