To prevent personal injury, always turn the saw OFF and
disconnect the plug from source before changing blades
or making adjustments.
Pin-end type blades are thicker for stability and for faster
assembly. These blades are used whenever faster cutting
on a variety of materials and ¾-inch thickness or greater
are required. Use whenever less precision or thicker kerf
cutting is acceptable.
Note: When installing pin-end blades, the set screws
located onthe upper and lower blade holders should not
be over or under tightened.. The slot must be slightly
wider than the thickness of the blade. After the blade is
installed, the blade tension mechanism will keep the
pin-end in place.
PIN-END BLADE REMOVAL (FIG. J, K)
