CHANGINGTHEBLADE(FIG.I)

Toavoidinjury:

,, From an accidental start, make sure the switch is in

the OFF position and the power cord is not plugged

into the power source.

,, From a thrown workpiece, thrown blade paris, or

blade contact, never operate the saw without the

proper table insert in place. Always use the blade

insert when sawing and the dado insert when using

a dado.

• When changing any blade, cover lhe blade teeth with

folded cardboard or a heavy cloth to protecl your hands.

Remove the old blade (FIG. I)

1. Remove table insert.

2. Unlock the blade bevel lock and adjust the blade to

the g0 °position by turning the blade tilting

handwheel.

3. Raise the blade to the maximum height by turning

the blade elevation handwheel counterclockwise.

4. Place the open-end blade wrench (1) on the blade

arbor, aligning the flats of the wrench with the flats (2)

of the arbor, to keep the arbor from turning.

5. Place the box-end blade wrench (3) on the arbor

nut (4).

6. Loosen and remove the arbor nut and the flange (5).

7. Remove the old blade (6). Clean but do not remove

the inner blade flange (7).

Install the new blade (FIG. I)

1. Place the new blade onto the arbor with the blade

teeth pointing forward to the front of the saw.

2. Make sure the blade fits flush against the inner flange.

3. Clean the outer blade flange and install it onto the

arbor and against the blade.

4. Thread the arbor nut onto the arbor. Hand-tighten the

nut as much as possible.

5. Place the flats of the open-end wrench on the flats of

the arbor.

6. Place the box-end wrench on the arbor nut and turn

clockwise (toward the rear of the saw table).

7. Replace the table insert.

To avoid injury from a thrown workpiece, thrown blade

parts, or blade contact, never operate the saw without the

proper insert in place. Always use the blade insert when

sawing and the dado insert when using a dado.

RIP FENCE ADJUSTMENT (FIG. K)

1. Always position the fence on the right side of the

blade, parallel with a miter gauge groove.

2. Place the back clamp (1) of the fence on the back

rail of the table, and lower the front handle end over

the front rail (2). Push down the handle (3) to lock.

3. To change the position of the fence, lift up on the

handle to unlock, and slide the fence to the desired

position. Push the handle down to lock.

4. To check the rip fence adjustment, place the fence

along one edge of the miter gauge groove, and lock

the handle. It should be parallel to the miter groove

to provide accurate cuts.

If adjustment is needed to make it parallel:

1. Loosen the two screws (4) on the top of the rip fence,

and lift up on the handle (3).

2. Hold the fence bracket (5) firmly against the front of the

saw table, next to a miter gauge groove, and move

the far end of the fence until the fence is parallel with

the groove.

3. Tighten both screws and push the handle down to lock.

If the fence is loose when the handle is in the locked

position:

1. Move the handle upward to the unlocked position.

Turn the adjusting screw (6) clockwise until the rear

clamp is snug.

2. DO NOT turn the adjusting screw more than 1/4 turn

at a time.

3. Over-tightening the screws will cause the rip fence to

come out of alignment.

RIP FENCE INDICATOR (FIG, L)

NOTE: The rip fence indicator points to the scale on the

front of the table saw.

Measurement shown by the indicator will never match the

actual distance to the hairline. The measurement shown is

the distance from the blade to the side of the fence

nearest the blade.

1. To check the accuracy, measure the actual distance (1)

to the side of the rip fence. If there is a difference

between the measurement and the indicator, adjust

the indicator.

2. Loosen the indicator screw (2). Slide the indicator to

the correct measurement position on the scale.

Tighten the screw and remeasure.
