Removing and Installing Blades
!WARNING To avoid possible injury, disconnect plug from power
source before performing any assembly, adjustments or repairs.
Installing 10” Blade
!WARNING To avoid injury, do not use a blade larger or smaller than 10”
diameter and 5/8” arbor. The blade’s maximum plate thickness is 0.103".
!WARNING To reduce risk of injury, use saw blade rated 4800/min (RpM) or
greater.
!WARNING Tighten the cover plate screws. loose cover plate screws may
interfere with and hang up lower blade guard. Never use saw without cover plate securely in place. lower guard will not function properly.
!WARNING After installing a new blade, make sure the blade does not
interfere with the table insert at 0° and 45° bevel positions. lower the blade into the blade slot and check for any contact with the base or turntable structure. If the blade contacts base or table, seek authorized service.
1. | Follow all “Moving Guard Assembly” and “Remov- |
| ing Blade” steps. |
2. | Carefully handle the new blade. Check that the |
| rotation arrow on the blade matches the rotation |
| arrow on the lower guard. Slide the blade up and |
| between the sides of the chip deflector and over |
| the arbor shaft. Move the blade so its arbor hole |
| goes around the support ring of the inner washer |
| (see Figures 4 and 5). |
3. | Place the outer washer over the arbor shaft and |
| |
| Check that the blade remained on the inner |
| washer’s support ring. |

4. | Rotate the blade slowly while pressing the arbor |
| lock until it fully seats into its lock position. |
5. | Using the 6/4mm hex key, firmly tighten the blade |
| bolt counterclockwise. NOTE: This bolt has left- |
| hand threads. Do not over tighten. A 6mm hex key |
| may be used as an alternate. |
6. | Remove the lower guard link from the rear cover |
| plate screw. Rotate the lower guard and cover |
| plate around the front cover plate screw until the |
| cover plate’s slot slides under the rear cover plate |
| screw head. Fully tighten both cover plate screws |
| using the 6/4mm hex key. |
7. | Place the lower guard link back to the original po- |
| sition, then firmly |
| pivot post. It may be necessary to retract the lower |
| guard while tightening the link knob. |
8. | Be sure the arbor lock is released so the blade |
| turns freely. |
9. | Place the 6/4mm hex key back in storage area. |
