1. Remove the arbor nut by turning it counterclockwise,
then remove the flange.-
2. Install a scoring blade on the arbor with the teeth
pointing towards the rear of the saw A.
INSTALLING A SCORING BLADE (OPTIONAL)
BEFORE ASSEMBLING, MAKE SURE THAT THE SWITCH IS IN THE “OFF” POSITION AND THAT THE POWER CORD IS UN-
PLUGGED. DO NOT PLUG IN OR TURN ON THE SAW UNTIL YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
STEPS DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION OF THE MANUAL.
4. Turn the blade to align the groove in the arbor with the
red arbor lock button B and press it to lock the blade
in position while tightening the arbor nut with arbor
wrench*.
Note: Make sure the main blade and the scoring blade
teeth are pointing towards each other.
3. Re-install the flange with the concave side against
the blade, then hand tighten the arbor nut by turn-
ing it clockwise.
5. Re-install the table insert and go to the next section
to install the blade cover.
BEFORE TURNING ON THE SAW, MAKE SURE THE ARBOR LOCK IS DISENGAGED (POPS UP) BY TURNING THE BLADE A
FRACTION TO UNLOCK. TURN THE BLADE BY HAND ONE FULL ROTATION TO MAKE SURE THE ARBOR/BLADE TURNS FREELY.
* When tightening the arbor nut, take care not to over tighten as this will make it very difficult to remove later. Because
the rotation of the blade runs counter to the direction of the threads on the nut, the blade is essentially tightening itself to
the nut whenever the saw is running. Though there are no hard and fast rules for how much torque is required, the arbor
nut should be always tightened hand-tight and just slightly beyond “snug”.
