Blade Installation~
• Remove coiled Blade from box.
• Uncoil the Blade gently. Do not bend or kink the Blade.
• Place Blade under Lower Wheel with diamond side towards the front of the saw.
• Place Blade at 9 O'clock position on Upper Wheel and rotate Upper Wheel by hand clockwise to
wrap the blade over the Upper Wheel. Blade should pass through slot in Guide.
• Turn Upper Wheel by hand to test tension. Tension is correct when the Blade nearly touches the
shoulder at the rear of the Upper Wheel when rotating.
Trial Run~
• Route power cord through the slot provided
in Top Assembly and plug into a standard
grounded outlet.
• While pressing down gently on the back of the
Motor (to keep tension on the Blade), ip the
on/off switch to the “on” position.
• By twisting the Adjustment Screw clockwise
you can bring the Blade toward the front of
the Upper Wheel. Excessive twisting in this
direction will cause the Blade to fall off the front
of the Upper Wheel.
• By twisting the Adjustment Screw
counterclockwise you can bring the Blade toward
the rear of the Upper Wheel. The Blade should
always run near the back of the Upper Wheel,
almost to the shoulder. If it runs too far back it
will drag on the shoulder and be noisy and cause
wear. If this happens, back off until the saw quiets
down.
• Do not turn the Lower Knob. This control for the tilt of
the Lower Wheel was set at the factory and should not require
further attention.
• Turn the saw off while gently holding the back of the Motor down.
Lower Guide Installation~
• Your saw was shipped with the Guide Holder in place. If it has
become loose or fallen out in shipment, reinsert it into slot on inside wall
of Chassis. Push rmly into place so that top of Guide Holder is ush with top of
Chassis.
• Slide one Guide into slot on Guide Holder (slot on Guide must face out).
• Blade ts in slot of Guide.
