4. Loosen (do not remove) the guard bracket front screw
(3) until the guard bracket can be raised to expose
the blade screw (4). Lower the lower guard until it
rests on the guard bracket front screw. This will hold
it up and out of the way during the blade change.
5. Press in the spindle lock and rotate the spindle until
the lock engages.
6. Use the wrench to loosen and remove the left-hand
thread blade screw clockwise.
7. Remove the outer blade flange, blade, blade washer,
and inner blade flange. Wipe the flanges, washer,
and spindle to remove dust and debris. Inspect the
parts for damage. Replace if needed.

8. Install the inner blade flange as shown.
9. Insert the blade washer into the blade arbor hole.
10. Match the arrow on the blade with the arrow on the
lower guard. Slide the blade into the upper guard
and onto the spindle.
11. Install the outer blade flange.
12. Press in the spindle lock and rotate the blade until the
lock engages. Insert and securely tighten the blade
screw counterclockwise with the wrench.
13. Rotate the guard bracket into position and securely
tighten the two screws. Return the wrench to the
wrench holder.
14. Lower the saw head and check the clearance
between the blade and the adjustable kerf plates.
Important: The lower guard must move freely. The
blade should rotate freely (see "Adjusting the Kerf
Plates").

Adjusting the Kerf Plates
Kerf plates reduce tear-out and splintering along the
cut by providing edge support. Because blades vary in
width, adjust the kerf plates with every blade change.
Never make a cut without the adjustable kerf plates
installed. The kerf plates can be set at their maximum
width to accommodate all blade widths and bevel
angles if tear-out and splintering are not a concern.
1. Unplug the tool.
2. Install the blade to be used. Each time the blade
is changed, check to be sure the kerf plates are
adjusted properly.
3. Set the bevel angle. Each time the bevel is changed,
check to be sure the kerf plates are adjusted properly.
4. Loosen the six kerf plate adjusting screws.
5. Lower the saw head to the full depth of cut (the point
where the saw head will not lower any further).
6. Slide the kerf plates to the desired spacing and
tighten the six screws.
7. Check to be sure the saw blade does not contact the
kerf plates before starting the saw.
OPERATION
To reduce the risk of injury, always
WARNING
wear proper eye protection marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1.
When working in dusty situations, wear appropriate
respiratory protection or use an OSHA compliant
dust extraction solution.
Always wait for the blade to stop completely and
unplug the tool before changing accessories or
making adjustments. Do not defeat the guards.
Do not carry tool by workpiece supports. Supports
could bend or break, causing tool to drop. Only carry
tool by carrying handles.
Using Face Boards
(Zero Clearance Sub Fences)
There are face board mounting holes in the fences for
attaching face boards. Face boards place distance be-
tween the fence and the workpiece, providing improved
support for some workpieces. Workpiece splintering can
be reduced by using face boards. As the width of the
face board increases, the height of the workpiece which
can be cut increases slightly (but the width capacity
decreases slightly). Similarly, if you place a face board
on the saw table and place a workpiece on top of the
face board, you can cut a workpiece with greater width
(but with less height).
The tool is shipped with both the upper and lower
guard installed. The lower guard should cover the blade
when the saw head is up and it should move freely and
open automatically as the saw head is lowered into the
workpiece. If the lower guard appears loose, sticks, or
if it does not move to cover the blade when the saw
head is up, tighten the guard bracket screws. If it still
does not move freely, take the saw to an authorized
service center for repairs. Do not attempt to open
the guard further than the automatic action permits.
Select the Workpiece Carefully
Be cautious of pitchy, knotty, wet or warped workpieces.
These materials are likely to create pinching conditions.
Workpieces that bow and pinch may result in kick back.
Inspect for and remove nails before cutting. Always keep
blades clean and sharp; otherwise the blade produces a
narrow kerf and is likely to be pinched by the workpiece.
This tool is not recommended for cutting ferrous met-
als such as iron and steel. See Applications for a more
complete list of materials.
