_I_ WARNING:Beforeperforminganyadjustment,

make sure the tool is unplugged from the power supply and the switch is in the OFF position. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury.

The table saw has been adjusted at the factory for mak- ing very accurate cuts. However, some of the components might have been jarred out of alignment during shipping. Also, over a period of time, readjustment will probably become necessary due to wear.

To avoid unnecessary set-ups and adjustments, a good practice is to check your setups carefully with a fram- ing square and make practice cuts in scrap wood before making finish cuts in good workpieces. Do not start any adjustments until you have checked with a square and made test cuts to be sure adjustments are needed.

TO REPLACE THE BLADE

See Figures 50 - 52.

[] Unplug the saw.

[] Remove the blade guard and anti-kickback pawls.

[] Lower the saw blade and remove the throat plate.

[] Make sure the bevel locking lever is locked.

[] Raise the saw blade to full height.

[] Insert the open end of the blade wrench onto the flats on the arbor shaft.

[] Insert the closed end of the blade wrench over the blade nut. Holding both wrenches firmly, pull the outside wrench (right side) forward while pushing the inside (left side) to the back of the saw. Remove the nut and blade washer.

[] Unlock the release lever and remove the blade. To install a standard b(ade:

[] Place the new blade on the arbor shaft (the teeth must point down toward the front of the saw to work properly).

[] Place the blade washer and the blade nut over the arbor shaft. Be sure the dome side of the blade washer faces the blade and that all items are snug against the arbor housing. Make sure the blade nut is securely tightened. Do not overtighten.
