When installing the blade, make sure the teeth are
pointing toward the front of the saw and that the blade
and collars are clean, and free from any burrs.
The hollow side of the collar must be against the blade.
Always tighten the arbor nut securely.

necessary to install the outer (loose) blade collar.

e. To replace insert, place insert into opening in table
and push toward rear of saw to engage rear spring

saw without the proper insert in place. Use the saw-
blade insert when sawing. Use the proper size dado/
molding insert for dado blades and molding heads.
