IMPORTANT: The splitter (G) Fig. 49, has a notch (L) cut in the top edge as shown. This feature will enable the blade guard to stay in the raised position to make blade changing easier. Raise the front of blade guard (M), until the rear edge of the blade guard slips into notch (L) of splitter (G); the blade guard will stay in this position. This feature only works when the table insert is removed.

9.With the blade guard (L) Fig. 50, in the raised position, attach the saw blade (K) on the arbor with the two arbor wrenches provided (No. 7 and 8, Fig. 1). For more instructions on changing blades, see “CHANGING THE SAW BLADE” section in this manual.
