PYLE Audio 314 Assembly Operation, To Change SAW Blades, Installing Plexiglas Blade

ASSEMBLY

NOTE: This tool is shipped completely assembled. No assembly time or tools are required.

OPERATION

SELECTING THE BLADE

A combination blade is furnished with your saw and is an excellent blade for all general ripping and crosscutting operations. When crosscutting and smoothness of cut is an important factor, use a thin-rim blade. Use a fine tooth blade when cutting plywood and masonite. Special blades are available for cutting plexiglas and “problem materials” (metal, laminates, and gauge-size sheet steel).

TO CHANGE SAW BLADES

DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.

To remove the blade, place the teeth of the blade against the edge of a board and loosen the blade retaining screw by turning it counterclockwise with the provided wrench. Remove the blade retaining screw and the outer flange. Hold the telescoping guard open and remove the blade. Before installing a new blade, remove the inner flange and wipe it clean. Also remove any sawdust that may have accumulated in the guards, around the saw arbor, and from the telescoping guard spring. Check the telescoping guard to ensure that it is in working order.

If telescoping guard movement is sluggish or binding exists, return the saw to your nearest AUTHORIZED PORTER-CABLE SERVICE STATION or PORTER-CABLE SERVICE CENTER for repair. NEVER use your saw if the telescoping guard is not in working order.

Clean and replace the outer flange making certain the square hole mates with the squared end of the saw arbor. Install the blade with the teeth pointing “UP” at the front of the saw. Firmly tighten the blade retaining screw.

INSTALLING PLEXIGLAS BLADE

NOTE: Use the following installation procedure ONLY for cutting plexiglas.

Install a special plexiglas-cutting blade with the teeth pointing “DOWN” at the front of the saw.
