TO REMOVE THE BLADE

See Figures 35 - 37.

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.

￿Lower the blade and raise the blade guard.

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

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

￿Place the open end of the small hex wrench into the slot beside the blade. The wrench will fit over two flats on the flange/spacer. See Figure 36.

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

Note: The flange nut has right-hand threads.

￿Remove the flange nut from the arbor and then remove the blade. Make sure the flange/spacer and spacer/ washer are tight against arbor shoulder.

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

￿Put the flange nut back on. Tighten the nut with a clockwise turn.

Note: Use care not to cross thread flange 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.
