E SURE THE SAW IS UNPLUGGED AND COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE WHENEVER INSTALLING

OR REMOVING A SAW BLADE!

NOTE

This saw is intended for use with 10" (250mm) diameter or less saw blades having a center hole diameter of

5/8". There are many types of blades available to perform specific cutting jobs, such as crosscuts or ripping

only, or for use with plywood, panelling and other products. A good quality specialty blade can produce a

finer finish, be more efficient and place less strain on the saw. Use only saw blades designed for use at a maxi-

mum operating speed of 5000 RPM or less. Saw blades should be kept clean and sharp. Never store saw

blades by stacking them directly in contact with each other. Place a layer of cardboard or similar material

between the blades to keep them from coming into contact with each other.

INSTALL A SAW BLADE

1. Remove the table insert plate A. Then, remove the

arbor nut B & flange C.

INSTALL / REMOVE A SAW BLADE

BLADE

DIRECTION

To remove a saw blade

Perform the same procedure turning the arbor nut in

the opposite direction.

BEFORE TURNING ON THE SAW, MAKE SURE THE ARBOR LOCK IS DISENGAGED (POPS UP) BY TURNING THE BLADE A

FRACTION TO UNLOCK. TURN THE BLADE BY HAND ONE FULL ROTATION TO MAKE SURE THE ARBOR/BLADE TURNS

FREELY.

NOTE

When tightening the arbor nut, take care not to over tighten as this will make it very difficult to remove later.

Because the rotation of the blade runs counter to the direction of the threads on the nut, the blade is essen-

tially tightening itself to the nut whenever the saw is running. Though there are no hard and fast rules for how

much torque is required, the arbor nut should be always tightened hand-tight and just slightly beyond “snug”.

TIGHTEN

2. Install a saw blade on the arbor so that the open-

ings between the teeth face the front of the saw

D (the blade spins in the counter-clockwise direction).

3. With the blade raised to maximum height

, re-install

the flange and arbor nut, then press on the arbor

lock button E so the blade & arbor won’t turn as you

tighten the arbor nut clockwise (toward the rear of

the saw) F with the supplied arbor wrench G.
