In time your saw blade will wear out and need replacement.
To remove the blade, follow the steps below.
1. Turn off and unplug the plate joiner.
2. Remove the 4 torx head screws from the bottom of the shoe,
using the T20 torx screwdriver provided.
3. Rotate the shoe out of the way.

the blade nut. Depress the spindle lock pin on the top of the
gear case to hold the spindle while you unscrew the nut.
5. Remove the blade and have it sharpened or replace it with a
new one.
6. Reinstall the blade by reversing the steps above. Be sure blade
teeth point counterclockwise as shown in Figure 4.

sharpening or replacing the blade. Adjust if necessary.

The Controls
The heart of your plate joiner is the base/fence assembly. All of
the controls that let you make a variety of precision cuts are located
on this assembly. Take a few minutes to become familiar with the
various controls.
ALWAYS TURN OFF AND UNPLUG PLATE JOINER
BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS.
1. ADJUSTABLE FENCE
The adjustable fence provides a sturdy, precise reference surface
to determine the point at which the slots for the biscuits will be cut.
Its adjustable height feature allows you to position biscuit slots as
close as 3/16" (4.76mm) and as distant as 1-3/8" (35mm)
