Changing The Saw Blade - Axminster 250mm Slide Mitre Saw User Manual

Fig S
Engage the saw arbor lock and fit the spanner
onto the bolt, keeping the lock depressed, loosen
the saw arbor bolt by turning clockwise, (left hand
thread).
2. Before fitting the new blade ensure that the inner saw blade washer is clean and correctly seated on
the shaft. Fit the blade over the shaft and check it is seated correctly against the rear saw plate
washer. Locate the offside blade washer over the shaft and the 'key' flanging, introduce the arbor bolt
and its washer, screw in until finger tight, check everything is seated correctly. Engage the arbor lock
and tighten the arbor bolt (anti-clockwise). Turn the blade by hand to check that everything seems
O.K.. Put the arbor bolt spanner back in its stowage. Rotate the saw guard bracket back into position
(make sure the operating lever is correctly positioned) and the saw guard bracket is fully back on its
holding screws, re-tighten, check everything moves freely and correctly, then tighten securely.
3. Reconnect the saw to the supply, ensure that the saw is in a safe position, the blade is free, and
give the machine a quick burst to check all is O.K., i.e. the blade runs true, no vibration, etc.
