INSTALLING THE SAW BLADES

DANGER: Sharp blades!

Most injuries caused by saw blades occur when the saw has been turned off. Handle blades with care at all times.

●Always wear cut-resistant gloves when the

blade guard is open and when handling blades.

●Always lock out power to the saw before opening any guards.

●Always wait until the saw blade has com- pletely stopped before opening the saw guard. (approximately five minutes)

CTS saws are equipped with several safety devices to ensure safe operation. Never remove or disable these devices to sustain production. Operating without these devices can cause severe injury.

1 Open the rear access door of the machine.

2 Remove the screws that retain the blade door to the blade shroud and hinge open the door.

IMPORTANT: Always note the blade tooth direction when removing blade to insure that the replacement blade is installed the same. Rotating a carbide blade in the wrong direction will usually damage the blade. As standard, the blade rotation should have the top of the blade rotating away from the front or operator side of the unit.

3 Remove the hex nut.

The blade is held on with a hex nut tightened on the motor arbor shaft. Based on either right to left or left to right saw operation, the hex nut will be either a left hand or right hand thread. A right to left saw operation means that the product is entering the saw from the right side. A right to left operating saw will use a left-handed threaded arbor. This is done to insure that the arbor nut will want to con- tinually tighten during blade rotation. The motor has an arrow on the housing to indicate the arbor rotation. Remove the hex nut using the spanner wrench provided to hold the blade shaft. The saw blades will be removable at this time.
