W1677/W1711 10" Table Saw

SETUP

9.Install the blade by removing the arbor nut from

the arbor and placing the blade on the arbor so the teeth face toward the front of the saw.

10.Hold the blade on the arbor with one hand and tight- en the arbor nut on the arbor with the other.

11.Brace the blade with a scrap piece of wood, as shown in Figure 25, and tighten the arbor nut with the arbor wrench. DO NOT overtighten the nut or it will be difficult to remove when you need to change your blades.

12.Attach the fence as detailed in the instruction manu- al included with the fence.

13.Screw the splitter shaft into the tilt assembly through the back of the cabinet, as shown in Figure 26.

14.Slide the lower half of the bracket onto the split- ter shaft and temporarily tighten the bracket to the shaft with the two 5⁄16"-18 x 3⁄8" set screws.

15.Place the upper blade guard bracket on the lower blade guard bracket and secure them with the two

5⁄16"-18 x 11⁄2" bolts, four 5⁄16" flat washers, two 5⁄16" lock washers, and two 5⁄16" hex nuts, as shown in Figure 27. Do not fully tighten the nuts yet.

The blade guard/splitter greatly reduces the risk of injury when using this saw. You MUST install the blade guard/splitter before operating the machine.

16.Attach the blade splitter/guard assembly at the mounting locations shown in Figure 28. Use the two 5⁄16"-18 x 1" hex bolts and two 5⁄16" flat washers from the inventory hardware to connect the splitter to the shaft bracket. Leave the mounting bolts just loose enough to slide the blade splitter on and off during alignment.
