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.

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

To avoid injury from a thrown workpiece, blade part,

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.
