BLADE AND GUARD ASSEMBLY
WARNING:
Do not connect to power supply until assembly is complete. Failure to comply could result in accidental starting and possible serious injury.
TO CHECK SAW BLADE INSTALLATION
To check the saw blade, first lower the blade and remove the screw holding the throat plate in place. Remove the throat plate. See Figure 14.
Make sure the bevel locking lever is locked. Raise the blade arbor to its full height by turning the blade adjusting handle counterclockwise.
Using the smaller wrench, insert the flat open end into the flats on the arbor shaft as shown. Insert the larger wrench over the flange nut, and, holding both wrenches firmly, pull the larger wrench forward to the front of the machine to loosen and push to tighten. Make sure the flange nut is securely tightened. Do not overtighten.
Note: Arbor shaft has
Check all clearances for free blade rotation.
Lower the blade by turning the blade adjustment handle clockwise.
Reinstall the throat plate.
TO INSTALL BLADE GUARD ASSEMBLY
Lower the blade by turning the blade adjustment handle clockwise.
Using an adjustable wrench, install the blade guard assembly by loosening the two attachment nuts enough to attach the separator (align holes and tabs). See Figure 15. Partially retighten the two attachment nuts. Check the blade and separator alignment.
Correctly align the blade and separator as shown, repeating above step as needed. Tighten attachment nuts securely. If separator is not positioned correctly with blade up, it could contact saw table when blade is lowered and restrict blade elevation.
