The Model G5045 is shipped with a general pur- pose 10" blade. To install the blade:
1.Disconnect the saw from its power source and remove the table insert by removing the two screws.
2.Raise the arbor to its top position by turning the blade height handwheel.
3.Remove the reverse threaded nut and blade flange washer from the arbor.
4.Place the blade on the arbor, making sure that the teeth are pointed toward the front of the saw.
5.Replace the nut and flange washer and tighten the nut with the wrenches provided with the saw. Use the flat sides at the inner edgeof the arbor to secure the assembly while tightening the blade in place. See Figure 10.
Figure 10. Installing the saw blade.
6.Replace the table insert, making sure it is flush with the table top and tighten the securing screws.
The blade guard and built-in splitter is used when- ever cutting operations allow their use. The blade guard is designed to provide a barrier between the saw blade and the saw operator. The splitter min- imizes the chances of kickbacks—the most com- mon source of table saw injuries.
To mount the blade guard:
1.Disconnect the saw from its power source.
2.Zero the blade angle and raise the blade as high as it goes.
3.Insert the outer lockwasher and and flat washer onto the blade guard support bolt.
4.Thread the bolt through the splitter bracket and place the flat washer and inner lock- washer on the inside end of the bolt. See Figure 11.
5.Attach the bolt to the threaded hole on the rear face of the saw table.

6.Using the 3/4" long hex head bolts, attach the splitter/blade guard assembly to the splitter bracket. Fasten the assembly with the nuts and 1/4" lockwashers provided. See Figure 12.
