CHANGING THE BLADES

1. DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.
2. Open the upper and lower wheel guards.
3. Release tension on the saw blade.
4. Loosen the table alignment pin (A) Fig. 28 with a wrench
and pull it out. Remove table insert.
5. Take the blade off the wheel, and guide it through the
slot in the table.
6. Install the new blade by reversing the procedure. (Table
alignment pin should be seated by gently tapping it with a
hammer).
When cutting curves, turn the stock carefully so that the blade will follow without being twisted. If a curve is so abrupt that
repeated new kerfs are needed, use either a narrower blade or one that has more set. The more set a blade has, the easier the
stock is to turn. However, the cut is usually rougher than when using a medium set.
When withdrawing the blade, be careful not to draw the blade off of the wheels. In most cases, it is easier and safer to turn the
workpiece and saw out through waste material. Do not back the blade out while the saw is running.
