Installing Plain End Bades ..................
NOTE: For plain end blades, the thin boss of the blade _.l_mp needs to be positioned against the blade holder.
Plain End Blade Set Up: Insert the blade change rod through the hole above the upper blade holder. Use the "T" handle wrench to loosen the hex socket screw and clamp from the upper blade holder. Install the clamp so that the thin boss is against the blade holder, and the beveled edge is in the corner of the blade holder. The thin boss side of the blade clamp can be identified by a circular impression placed on the sur- face.
2.Replace the hex socket screw.
3.Repeat this procedure on the lower blade holder.
4.Install the blade through the hole in the table and into
the lower blade holder. The blade teeth should point down. Position the blade end at the bottom of the blade
clamp and against the he× socket screw.
5.Tighten the hex socket screw, using the "T" wrench, while holding the blade change rod in position.
6.Use the same procedure to install the blade into the upper blade holder. Before tightening the socket hex screw, adjust the position of the upper blade holder by turning the blade tension knob until the end of the blade is near the top of the blade holder.
7.Remove the "T'wrench and the blade change rod from
._._the blade hotder.
Tighten the blade tension knob clockwise
until the blade is tensioned. The number of turns will be approximately two full turns. This wil! vary depend- ing on blade thickness and blade type.
9, Make sure the blade is properly installed. Before apply- ing power, rotate the motor shaft by hand using a screwdriver in the motor shaft as shown on the previ- ous page.
WARNING: To avoid injury from thrown objects, remove the blade change rod and all tools from the
saw.
