Changing Main Blade - Grizzly G0700 Owner's Manual

Changing Main
Blade
This saw performs best with high-quality sharp
blades. Whenever the blades become dull, replace
or have them sharpened.
To change the main blade:
1. DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER!
2. Move the blade tilt to 0° (blade 90° to table)
and raise the main blade as far as it will go.
3. Move the sliding table out of the way to
expose the lower blade cover that covers the
blades and riving knife, as shown in Figure
42.

expose the mounting assembly. (The blade
cover is held closed with a magnet.)
5.
Insert the arbor lock tool into the hole shown
in Figure 42, then rotate the blade by hand
until the arbor lock tool seats.
Before proceeding with the next step, wear
gloves to protect your hands while handling
and installing the blade.
