INSTALLATION
REMOVING THE EXISTING THROAT PLATE AND INSTALLING ZERO CLEARANCE INSERT FOR THROUGH CUTS
See Figures 1 and 2.
WARNING:
Never stand directly in line with the blade or allow hands to come closer than 3 in. to the blade. Do not reach over or across the blade. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Make sure the switch is off and the plug is out of the outlet. Failure to do so could result in accidental starting, resulting in serious personal injury.
nUnplug the saw.
nLower the blade completely then remove the blade guard assembly.
n�Loosen flathead screw and remove the throat plate by lifting the front end of the throat plate and pulling it toward the front of the saw.

nPosition the zero clearance insert until the key slot drops over the flat head screw.
nThe zero clearance insert should be flush with the table top. Adjust the four set screws as needed. (See Fig 2.)
NOTE: If necessary, adjust the side positioning set screw found on the edge of the zero clearance insert to eliminate side play. Tighten the flat head screw. Do not tighten the screw to the point where it deflects the zero clearance insert.
nMake sure blade guard is properly installed.
nCheck all clearances for free blade rotation.
nPlug in the saw then turn the saw on.
nSlowly and cautiously raise the saw blade into the zero clearance insert.
WARNING:
The zero clearance insert must be even with the table surface. Inserts too high or low can let the workpiece "snag" or catch on uneven edges. Workpiece could twist and kickback and could result in injury.
