5.Unlock the nut (NOTE: Left hand threads – loosen by turning clockwise).

6.Make sure the set screws in the adaptor are set flush on the blade side. (They should protrude to the rear to engage the arbor for positive drive). See Figure 16. Clean the mating surfaces, install new blade, and tighten arbor nut securely.

7.Remove locking pin (B, Figure 15) and close blade cover.

SAFETY TIP: Tape a red rag on the locking pin and drape it over the blade while pin is inserted. This will remind you to remove the pin before starting the saw!

Installing/Replacing Scoring Blade

1.Disconnect machine from power source.

2.Push sliding table all the way to the left and open blade cover.

3.Tilt scoring blade all the way, and place spanner (A, Figure 17) on the flat of the arbor.

4.Loosen the bolt with the hex wrench (B, Figure 17). (NOTE: Right hand threads-turn counterclockwise to loosen).

5.Mount scoring blade and re-tighten bolt. Close blade cover.

Riving Knife

The machine is equipped with a riving knife (A, Figure 18) for use with saw blades up to 315mm in diameter.

The purpose of the riving knife (or "splitter") is to prevent the kerf from closing as it leaves the cutting teeth, and thereby reduce the chance of the kerf coming in contact with the up-running teeth of the blade and causing binding or a dangerous kickback. When the forward edge of the workpiece reaches the riving knife, the knife also helps guide the rest of the cut and will prevent the up-running teeth from scoring the workpiece.

The riving knife must be adjusted so that over its entire length the gap between saw blade and riving knife does not exceed 3 to 8mm.

The riving knife can be adjusted in both vertical and horizontal directions. The highest point of the riving knife should never exceed 3mm above the highest placed saw blade tooth.

Use the central bolt (B, Figure 18) and the three adjustment screws (C, Figure 18). After adjustment, always lock the central bolt (B, Figure 18).
