CHANGING THE BLADE
1. WARNING: WHEN CHANGING THE BLADE, MAKE CERTAIN THE SAW IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE. USE ONLY 10" DIAMETER SAW BLADES RATED FOR 4600 RPM OR HIGHER WITH 5/8" ARBOR HOLES.
2.Remove the table insert (A) Fig. 29, and raise the saw blade to its maximum height.
3.Remove the blade guard and spreader assembly.
NOTE: THE BLADE MUST BE IN THE 90 DEGREE POSITION TO THE TABLE FOR THE BLADE GUARD AND SPREADER ASSEMBLY TO BE REMOVED. Remove the table insert, pull out on the spreader release spring (A) Fig. 30, while pulling up on the blade guard/spreader assembly (B).
4.Using the open end wrench (B) Fig. 31, place open end of wrench on flats on inside blade flange to keep the saw arbor from rotating and remove arbor nut (C) with the closed end of wrench (D). Turn nut (C) counterclockwise to remove. Remove outside blade flange (E) and saw blade (F).
5.Install new blade, making certain teeth of blade are pointing down at the front of the saw table and assemble the outside blade flange (E) Fig. 31, and arbor nut (C). Tighten nut (C) with wrench (D) by turning nut clockwise while holding arbor steady with other wrench
(B).
