Changing Main
Blade
The Model G0699 performs best when using high
quality, sharp blades. Whenever the main blade
starts to get dull, resharpen or replace it with a
new blade.
Tools Needed
Hex Wrench 8mm .............................................. 1
Wrench 30mm ................................................... 1
T-Handle Wrench 8mm ..................................... 1
To change the main blade:
1.
DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER!
2.
Adjust the blade tilt to 0° and raise the blade
all the way up.
3.
Raise blade guard up.
4.
Move the sliding table all the way forward to
expose the blade cover, lock it in place, then
open the blade cover.
5.
Insert the provided T-handle wrench through
the table top hole shown in Figure 91 and
into one of the holes in the main blade pulley
under the table top. This will keep the blade
arbor from rotating during the next step.
