may not be printed on the blades packaging. If not, check the manufacturers catalog or website. Skil offers an extensive line of
To reduce the risk of injury, do not use ! WARNING extra thin kerf saw blades. The kerf of the
blade must be wider than .092”. Extra thin kerf saw blades (less than .092”) may cause the work piece to bind against the riving knife during cutting. It is recommended that the kerf of the replacement blade used on this saw be .092” or more.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not use ! WARNING saw blades made with a thick body plate. If
the replacement saw blade's plate thickness is greater than
.088”, the riving knife would not properly serve as an aid to reduce kickback. The replacement blade's plate thickness must be less than .088”.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not use
!WARNING blade “dampeners,” “stabilizers,” or “stiffening collars” on both sides of a replacement blade. These are metal plates positioned against the sides of the blade to reduce deflection that may occur when using thin saw blades. Use of these devices on both sides will prevent the blade from being properly aligned with the riving knife, which may bind the work piece during cutting. One “stabilizer” plate may be placed only against the outside of a thin replacement blade. These plates are not required with the supplied Skil blade.
Changing the Blade
NOTE: Clean blade of any excess oil before installation.
1.Remove the table insert 1 (Fig. 14).
2.Raise the blade 2 to the maximum height by turning the control wheel 3 counterclockwise (Fig. 14).
3.Remove the arbor nut 4 and flange 5 (Fig. 15).
4.Clean any sawdust from both blade collars before 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.
5.Install the flange 5 against the blade 2 and thread the arbor nut 4 as far as possible by hand. Ensure that the blade is flush against the inner blade flange 6 (Fig. 15).
