Saw Blade

Review this section, even if your saw blade came pre- installed.

To install the blade, do these steps:

1.DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER!

2.Remove the table insert, blade guard, and splitter–if previously installed.

3.Use the arbor wrenches to loosen and remove the arbor nut, flange, and blade.

Note: The arbor nut has right hand threads; turn it counterclockwise to loosen.

4.Slide the new blade over the arbor with the teeth facing the front of the saw, as shown in Figure 24.

5.Re-install the arbor flange and the arbor nut, and tighten them against the blade with the wrench included with the saw. DO NOT overtighten.

The saw blade is extremely sharp. Wear gloves and use extra care when handling the blade or working near it. Serious injury is possible.

Arbor

A 1" or 5/8" arbor can be installed on the table saw, depend- ing upon the arbor size of the blade you want to install.

To change the arbor, do these steps:

1.DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER!

2.Remove the table insert, blade guard and splitter or riving knife, arbor nut, arbor flange, and blade.

3.Raise the arbor all the way up.

4.Hold the arbor shaft with the arbor wrench and, using a 5mm hex wrench, remove the cap screw from the end of the arbor, as shown in Figure 25. Note: Gently tap the arbor with a rubber mallet to unseat it if it is hard to remove.

5.Slide the arbor out of the arbor shaft and reinstall the new arbor in the same manner that the old one was removed. Make sure the new arbor is securely tight- ened in the arbor shaft before reinstalling the blade.
