Changing the Saw Blade...

!
Raise the saw blade to its highest point, remove the saw blade guard, remove the
four hex screws that secure the table insert, place carefully aside and remove the table
insert. Using the spanner provided, put the spanner onto the flats on the nut.
(See figs 67 & 68).
Note: Be careful not to disturb the shims beneath the table insert, as the shims are
set so the table insert is level with the table surface.
Slacken off the saw bolt (remember right hand thread). Remove the saw nut, then remove
the sawplate washer and the saw blade. (See figs 68 & 70). Now is a good time to give the
interior of the machine, the dust extraction channels, etc. a thorough clean. Check the new
blade for damage, missing teeth,sharpness etc. Fit the new blade, ensure that the teeth are
pointing towards the front of the machine. Put the sawplate washer onto the shaft and twist
on the saw bolt. Spin the bolt up finger tight and check the saw is correctly seated.
