16. Stand the saw on its left side and tighten the four center adjustment nuts (7, Figure 11).
17. Place the saw upright and re-check the alignment to make sure the blade is parallel to the miter slot.
Removal and Installation of the Blade
Warning: Disconnect plug from power source before performing any assembly, adjustment
or repair to avoid possible injury.
NOTE: Clean blade of any excess oil before installation.
1. Remove the table insert (1, Figure 12).
2. Raise the blade (2, Figure 12) to the maximum height by
turning the hand wheel (3, Figure 12) counterclockwise,
3. Remove the arbor nut (4, Figure 13) and flange (5, Figure
13).
4. Clean any sawdust from both blade collars before
installing the blade. Install a 10" (25.4 cm) blade. Install
the saw blade onto the arbor with the blade teeth pointing
toward the front of the saw.
To avoid injury, do not use a blade larger or smaller than 10"
diameter and 5/8" arbor.
5. Install the flange 5 against the blade (2, Figure 13) and
thread the arbor nut (4, Figure 13) as far as possible by
hand. Ensure that the blade is flush against the inner blade
flange (6, Figure 13).
6. To tighten the arbor nut (4, Figure 14), use the open-end
wrench (7, Figure 14) and align the wrench jaws on the
flats of the flange to keep the arbor from turning. Place the
box-end wrench (8, Figure 14) on the arbor nut (4, Figure
14) and turn clockwise (to the rear of the saw table).
7. Install the table insert (1, Figure 12) in the table recess.
To avoid injury from a thrown workpiece, blade part, or blade
contact, never operate the saw without the proper insert in
place. Use the table insert when sawing. Use the dado insert
when using a dado blade.
Using Carbide-Tipped Blades
Handle carbide-tipped blades carefully. Carbide is very
brittle and can be easily damaged. Use caution when you
install, use or store the blades. Do not use a carbide-tipped
blade that is bent or has bent teeth, or if the blade has cracks,
is broken, or has missing/loose carbide tips. Do not operate
a carbide-tipped blade faster than its recommended speed.
