CHANgINg THE blAdE

NOTE: Clean blade of any excess oil before installation.

1.Remove the table insert 1 (Fig. 11).

2.Raise the blade 2 to the maximum height by turn- ing the control wheel 3 counterclockwise (Fig. 11).

3.Remove the arbor nut 4 and flange 5 (Fig. 12).

4.To loosen the arbor nut 4, use the open-end wrench 7 and align the wrench jaws on the flats of the flange to keep the arbor from turning. Place the box-end wrench 8 on the arbor nut 4 and turn counter-clockwise (to the front of the saw table) (Fig. 13).

5.Clean any sawdust from both blade collars before installing the blade. Install a 10" (25.4 cm) blade. Install the saw blade onto the arbor with the blade teeth pointing toward the front of the saw.

To avoid injury, do not use a blade larger or smaller than 10" diameter and 5/8" arbor.

6.Install the flange 5 against the blade 2 and thread the arbor nut 4 as far as possible by hand. Ensure that the blade is flush against the inner blade flange 6 (Fig. 12).

7.To tighten the arbor nut 4, use the open-end wrench 7 and align the wrench jaws on the flats of the flange to keep the arbor from turning. Place the box-end wrench 8 on the arbor nut 4 and turn clockwise (to the rear of the saw table) (Fig. 13).

8.Install the table insert 1 in the table recess. (Figure 11).

To avoid injury from a thrown workpiece, blade part, or blade contact, never operate the saw without the proper insert in place. Use the table insert when sawing. Use the dado insert when using a dado blade.

Handle carbide-tipped blades carefully. Carbide is very brittle and can be easily damaged. Use caution when you install, use or store the blades. Do not use a carbide-tipped blade that is bent or has bent teeth, or if the blade has cracks, is broken, or has missing/loose carbide tips. Do not operate a carbide- tipped blade faster than its recommended speed.

Read, understand and follow all warnings and in- structions provided with your carbide-tipped blades.
