ADJUSTING
FENCE SQUARENESS
TO BLADE (FIG.I)
1.
Loosen the two fence locking screws (1).
2.
Using a square, lay the heel of the square against
the blade, and the rule against the fence (2) as
shown. Check to see if the fence is 90" to the blade.

the two fence locking screws.
CAUTION: If the saw has not been used recently,
recheck blade squareness to the fence and readjust
if needed.

INSTALLING BLADE (FIG. F, G, H)
g,
Install a 10" blade, making sure the rotation arrow on
the blade matches the clockwise rotationarrow on the
upper guard, and the blade teeth are pointing downward.
10. Place the arbor washer (6) on the arbor screw (4).
Install the outer blade collar (7) and the arbor screw
and washer. (FIG. H)
IMPORTANT: Make sure the fiats of the blade collar
are engaged with the flats on the arbor shaft.
11. Place the blade wrench on the arbor screw.
12. Press the arbor lock (5), holding it in firmly white
turning the blade wrench counterclockwise.
When it engages continue to press the arbor lock in,
white tightening the arbor screw securely. (FIG. G)
13. Rotate the cover plate (3) back until the slot in the
cover plate engages with the cover plate screw (2).
Tighten the screw with a Phillips screwdriver.
14. Lower the blade guard (1). (FIG. F)
15. Be sure the arbor lock is released so the blade turns
freely.
To avoid injury, never use the saw without the cover plate
securely in place. It keeps the arbor screw from falling out
if it accidentally
loosens, and helps prevent the spinning
blade from coming off the saw.
Make sure the collars are clean and properly arranged.
After installing a new blade, make sure the blade clears
the table slot at the 0" and 45" bevel positions. Lower the
blade into the lower table and check for any contact with
the metal base or the turn table.
