OPERATION

SETTINGS AND ADJUSTMENTS

TO REMOVE THE BLADE

See Figures 20 - 22.

Use the two wrenches supplied with the saw in this proce- dure to replace the blade.

WARNING:

Unplug your saw and make sure the blade guard assembly is installed and working properly to avoid serious personal injury.

￿Raise the blade guard.

￿Remove the screw from the throat plate then remove the throat plate.

￿Raise the blade to its full height by turning the blade adjusting handle clockwise.

￿Place the open end of the small hex wrench into the slot beside the blade. The wrench will fit over two flats on the arbor (blade shaft). See Figure 21.

￿Fit the large hex wrench onto the arbor nut. Turn clockwise and remove the nut, taking care not to drag your knuckles across the blade.

Note: The arbor nut has right-hand threads.

￿Remove the outer blade washer from the arbor and then remove the blade. Make sure that inner blade washer and both spacers are tight against arbor shoulder.

￿Replace with a new blade. Make sure the blade teeth are pointing forward, toward incoming work.

￿Put the outer blade washer and arbor nut back on, aligning with the flats on the arbor. Tighten the nut with a clockwise turn.

Note: Use care not to cross thread arbor nut. Do not overtighten.

￿Rotate the blade by hand to make sure it is turning freely.

￿Check the riving knife and adjust if needed (see next procedure).

￿Lower the blade, insert the throat plate, then securely tighten the throat plate screw.
