ASSEMBLING BLADE AND
BLADE GUARD TO MACHINE
1. DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.
ONLY 10" " BLADES WITH 5/8" " ARBOR HOLES AND
RATED FOR 5000 RPM OR HIGHER.
2. Assemble the inside (thick) arbor flange (A) Fig. 44,
onto the arbor shaft with the recessed side of flange (A)
facing out.
3. With the blade guard (B) Fig. 45, in the left hand,
insert saw blade (C) into the blade guard (B) and onto
the arbor shaft.
4. Assemble the outside (thin) blade flange (D) Fig. 45,
with the recessed side of flange (D) facing in and arbor
nut (E) onto the arbor shaft. NOTE: ARBOR NUT (E)
FIG. 45, HAS A LEFT HAND THREAD.
5. Lift cam (F) Fig. 46, and assemble blade guard (B)
onto cutting-head assembly. NOTE: MAKE CERTAIN
TONGUE ON GUARD SEATS INTO GROOVE OF
CUTTING-HEAD.
6. Rotate blade guard (B) Fig. 47, to the rear and
tighten arbor nut (E) using two wrenches (G) supplied.
7. Rotate blade guard (B) Fig. 46, to the horizontal
position and tighten clamp knob (H). IMPORTANT:
CLAMP KNOB (H) FIG. 46, MUST BE TIGHT AND
BLADE GUARD SECURE DURING OPERATION.
NOTE: The lower retractable blade guard provides
operator protection in an axial direction to the saw
blade. Care must be taken to eliminate potential hazards
of the lower blade guard.
A) KEEP YOUR HANDS AWAY FROM THE
GUARD. As the blade cuts, the guard will lift
and leave part of the blade exposed.
B) SHUT OFF POWER BEFORE FREEING A
JAMMED LOWER GUARD. The guard can get
jammed in previous kerfs in table or fence.
Always anticipate the path of the guard.
C) USE CAUTION when making bevel cuts to be
sure the lower guard is never pinched towards
the blade.
D) THE LOWER GUARD CAN JAM AGAINST
THE FENCE DURING NARROW IN-RIPS.
Should the guard jam against the fence, dis-
connect the saw from power, wait for the blade
to stop, then lift the blade guard and rest it on
top of the fence.
