TO CHECK SAW BLADE INSTALLATION

See Figure 18.

CAUTION:

To work properly, the saw blade teeth must point down toward the front of the saw. Failure to heed this warning could cause damage to the saw blade, the saw, or the workpiece.

NOTE: Arbor shaft has left-hand threads.

Unplug the saw.

Remove blade wrenches from storage area by unscrewing wing nut.

Lower the saw blade and remove the throat plate.

Make sure the bevel locking lever is securely pushed to the left. Raise the saw blade to its full height by turning the height/bevel adjusting handwheel clockwise.

To loosen the blade:

Using the smaller blade wrench, place the flat open end on the flats on the arbor shaft.

Insert the closed end of the larger blade wrench over the hex nut. Holding both wrenches firmly, pull the larger wrench forward to the front of the machine.

To tighten the blade:

Using the smaller blade wrench, place the flat open end into the flats on the arbor shaft.

Insert the closed end of the larger blade wrench over the hex nut. Holding both wrenches firmly, push the larger wrench to the back of the machine. Make sure the blade nut is securely tightened. Do not overtighten.

Check all clearances for free blade rotation. Refer to To Check and Align the Blade Guard Assembly.

TO INSTALL BLADE GUARD ASSEMBLY

See Figure 19.

Proper installation of the blade guard assembly means that the saw blade and spreader are in alignment. ALWAYS align the spreader to the saw blade prior to turning on the table saw.

Unplug the saw.

Lower the blade by turning the height/bevel adjusting handwheel counterclockwise.

Fit the locator pins into the holes on the bracket located on the trunnion.

Turn the blade guard locking knob clockwise to securely attach the blade guard in place.

Check the blade guard assembly for clearances and free movement.
