3. Line up the hole in the locating plate
(A, Fig. 15) with the hole in the locating block
(B, Fig. 15) and fasten the plate to the block
with one M8 x 35 hex cap screw (C, Fig. 15)
and one each M8 lock washer and flat washer
(D, Fig. 15). Tighten the hex cap screw (C)
enough to hold in place but loose enough to
allow adjustment.
4. Place two each M8 flat washers and lock
washers onto two M8 x 16 hex cap screws (E,
Fig. 14) and insert into the two holes on the
locating plate.
5. Slide the front tab of the blade guard splitter
(A, Fig. 16) onto the hex cap screw, lock
washer and flat washer (B, Fig. 16) on the
splitter bracket. Make sure that the tab is
between the flat washer and the splitter
bracket.
Note: The anti-kickback pawl (D, Fig. 16)
should be held back when performing this
step.
6. Insert the rear tab between the locating plate
and flat washers (C, Fig. 16). Tighten the hex
cap screws holding the rear of the blade guard
(E, Fig. 16) just enough to hold in place.
7. Tighten the front tab (B, Fig. 16) enough to
hold in place but loose enough to allow for
adjustment. You will need to install the blade
before the final adjustment.
Installing the Blade
When installing or changing the
saw blade, always disconnect the saw from the
power source! Failure to comply cay cause
serious injury!
1. Using the handwheels, raise the blade arbor
fully and lock the saw at zero degrees by
tightening the lock knob in the middle of the
hand wheel.
2. Remove the arbor nut (A, Fig. 17) and flange
(B, Fig. 17).
Note: The nut has a left hand thread; turn
clockwise to remove.
3. Place the blade on the arbor shaft making sure
that the teeth point down at the front of the
saw. Replace the flange and the arbor nut.
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 if the blade turns,
your hand will not contact the blade.
