REMOVING THE BLADE

See Figure 14.

Remove the blade and blade guard assembly during setup for safety and better access. The blade guard includes an upper blade guard, an outer lower guard, and an inner lower guard. The lower inner guard consists of two overlapping slotted metal strips. The strips are held together with a retaining screw and a nut. Locate these items before beginning the proce- dure.

,_ WARNING: To prevent accidental contact with the blade that could result in injury, remove the

blade and blade guard before making setups involving the blade arbor and work stand. Use the blade wrenches provided with your saw.

•Remove the retaining screw and nut at the bottom of the lower inner blade guard.

•Loosen the guard clamp screw, a long thumbscrew between the blade guard and the motor.

•Rotate and lift the guard assembly up and over the blade, then remove it.

•Hold the blade arbor (motor shaft) with one of the two blade wrenches provided. Put the other blade wrench on the blade nut and turn it clockwise (down), since the blade arbor has left hand threads.

•Remove the blade nut, outer blade washer, saw blade, and inner blade washer. Set these items aside until all the tables have been installed and the front table is level.

ATTACHING TABLE SUPPORTS

See Figure 15.

The table supports are a base for the three wooden table sections and fence.

•Locate the two table supports and the following hardware:

4 square head bolts (5/16-18 x 3/4 in.)

4 Icckwashers (5/16 in.)

4 hex nuts (5/16-18)

4 flat washers (5/16 in.)

•Attach the supports to the side of the saw base. There are holes in both sides of each support. The long side of each support (with the slotted holes) fits against the saw base.

•Use two square head bolts per support, inserted from within the saw base outward.

•Place a flat washer, a lock washer, and a hex nut on the end of each screw.

•Position table supports so that bolts are approxi- mately centered in slotted holes.

•Finger tighten or snug with a 1/2 in. wrench only at this time. Final adjustments will be made later in

Leveling The Table Supports section.
