ASSEMBLY
The tool is shipped from the factory with the saw blade and blade guard not in the installed
condition. Assemble as follows:
CAUTION:
Always unplug the tool before assembly.
Installing saw blade
Remove the table insert on the table. Hold
the outer flange with the offset wrench
and loosen the hex nut with the wrench.
Then remove the outer flange.
Assemble the inner flange, blade, outer
flange and hex nut onto the arbor, making
sure that the teeth of the blade are pointing
down at the front of the table. Always
install the hex nut with its recessed side
facing the outer flange.
CAUTION:
Keep the flange surface clean of dirt or
other adhering matter; it could cause blade
slippage. Be sure that the blade is installed
so that the teeth are aligned in the cutting
(turning) direction.
To secure the blade in place, hold the outer
flange with the offset wrench, then tighten
the hex nut with the wrench. BE SURE TO
TIGHTEN THE HEX NUT SECURELY.
CAUTION:
Be sure to hold the hex nut carefully with
the wrench. If your grip should slip, the
wrench may come off the hex nut, and
your hand could strike the sharp blade
edges.
