Installing Blade
WARNING
When installing or changing saw blade,
always disconnect saw from the power
source!
Failure to comply may cause serious injury!
• Hardware: Blade
• Tool: Arbor Wrench, Scrap Piece of Wood
1. Raise the blade arbor fully and lock the saw
at zero by tightening the lock knob in the
middle of the handwheel.
2. Remove the arbor nut and flange.
3. Place the blade on the arbor shaft making
sure the teeth point down at the front of the
saw. Replace the flange (A, Fig. 7) and the
arbor nut (B, Fig. 7).
4. Place a wood scrap in the blade's teeth at
the rear of the machine. Hold the block of
wood in such a way that if it slips or the
blade turns, your hand will not contact the
blade.
5. Using the wrench provided, securely tighten
the arbor nut. Remove the wrench.
Aligning Blade Guard and Splitter
• Tools: 12mm Wrench, 4mm Hex Wrench,
Straight Edge
1. Raise blade guard away from table and hold
anti-kickback pawls (A, Fig. 8) away from
table surface with the cut-out in the guard
arm.
2. Using an accurate straight edge (B, Fig. 8),
align the splitter with the saw blade. Be
sure the straight edge rests against body of
saw blade and not saw teeth.
3. When saw blade is aligned with the splitter,
carefully tighten the hex cap bolt on the
bracket assembly inside the saw.
4. Make sure the splitter is level with the table
and approximately 1/8" above the table
before tightening the hardware on the rear
of the blade guard assembly. Space
between the splitter and the table keeps the
splitter from binding on the table when the
blade is tilted to 45°.
5. When saw blade is aligned with the splitter,
lower the blade, and tighten all hardware
6. Check alignment again after tightening
hardware. Adjust if necessary.
