CHANGING THE BLADE

DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE. Use only 10" diameter saw blades rated for 4700 RPM or higher. Use only saw blades with 5/8" arbor holes.

1.Raise the saw blade to its maximum height and remove the table insert (A) Fig. 38.

2.Place a piece of wood (B) Fig. 38 flat on the table against the blade so that a tooth of the blade can “grab” the wood to keep the blade from turning. Remove the arbor nut (C) with the blade removal wrench (D). Turn the nut (C) counter-clockwise to remove. Remove the outside blade flange (E) and saw blade (F).

3.Reverse the procedure to install the new blade.

MACHINE USE

Common sawing operations include ripping and crosscutting plus a few other standard operations of a fundamental nature. As with all power machines, there is a certain amount of hazard involved with the operation and use of the machine. Using the machine with the respect and caution demanded as far as safety precautions are concerned, will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or completely ignored, personal injury to the operator can result. The following information describes the safe and proper method for performing the most common sawing operations.

THE USE OF ATTACHMENTS AND ACCESSORIES NOT RECOMMENDED BY BLACK & DECKER MAY RESULT IN THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE USER OR OTHERS.

CROSS-CUTTING

 

Cross-cutting requires the use of the miter gauge to

 

position and guide the work. Place the work against the

 

miter gauge and advance both the gauge and work

 

toward the saw blade, as shown in Fig. 39. The miter

 

gauge may be used in either table slot. When bevel

 

cutting (blade tilted), use the table groove that does not

 

cause interference of your hand or miter gauge with the

 

saw blade guard.

 

Start the cut slowly and hold the work firmly against the

 

miter gauge and the table. One of the rules in running

 

a saw is that you never hang onto or touch a free piece

 

of work. Hold the supported piece, not the free piece

 

that is cut off. The feed in cross-cutting continues until

 

the work is cut in two, and the miter gauge and work are

 

pulled back to the starting point. Before pulling the work

back, it is good practice to give the work a little

 

sideways shift to move the work slightly away from the

 

saw blade. Never pick up any short length of free work

 

from the table while the saw is running. Never touch a

 

cut-off piece unless it is at least a foot long.

 

For added safety and convenience the miter gauge (A)

 

can be fitted with an auxiliary wood-facing (B), as shown

 

in Fig. 39A, that should be at least 1 inch higher than the
