ASSEMBLY
TO CHECK SAW BLADE INSTALLATION
See Figure 19.
NOTICE:
To work properly, the saw blade teeth must point
down toward the front of the saw. Failure to heed
this warning could cause damage to the saw
blade, the saw, or the workpiece.
NOTE: Arbor shaft has right-hand threads.
 Unplug the saw.
 Remove blade wrenches from storage area by unscrewing
wing nut.
 Lower the saw blade and remove the throat plate.
 Make sure the bevel locking lever is securely pushed to
the left. Raise the saw blade to its full height by turning
the height adjusting knob clockwise.
 Place riving knife in "up" position.
To loosen the blade:
 Using the left blade wrench, insert the open end onto the
flats on the arbor shaft.
 Insert the closed end of the other wrench over the hex
nut. Holding both wrenches firmly, pull the outside wrench
(right side) forward while pushing the inside (left side) to
the back of the saw.
To tighten the blade:
 Using the left blade wrench, insert the open end onto the
flats on the arbor shaft.
 Insert the closed end of the other blade wrench over the
hex nut. Holding both wrenches firmly, push the right
wrench to the back of the machine. Make sure the blade
nut is securely tightened. Do not overtighten.
 Reinstall the throat plate.
Check all clearances for free blade rotation. Refer to To
Check and Align the Riving Knife and Saw Blade.
TO INSTALL THE ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS AND
BLADE GUARD
See Figures 20 - 21.
WARNING:
Always install the blade guard and anti-kickback
pawls onto the riving knife in the "up" position
to provide proper blade coverage. Installing the
guarding components onto the riving knife in any
other position will prevent them from working
as designed, which could increase the risk of
serious personal injury.
