INSTALLING AND CHANGING THE BLADE

To avoid injury from an accidental start, make
sure the switch is in the OFF position and the

counterclockwise, to lower the insert, turn the
screw clockwise. Note: A rubber adjusting
spacer is provided under rear of insert for this
purpose.
1. Remove the table insert (1) by removing the two
screws (2, 3). Be careful not to lose the rubber
washer that is on the back screw (3) beneath the
