TO CHECK SAW BLADE INSTALLATION
See Figure 19.
CAUTION: To work properly, the saw blade teeth
must point down toward the front of the saw. Failure
to do so may cause damage to the saw blade, the
saw, or the workpiece.
[] Unplug the saw.
[] 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/bevel adjusting handwheel clockwise.
To loosen the blade:
[] Using the small blade wrench, place the flat open end
on the flats on the arbor shaft.
[] Insert the closed end of the large blade wrench over
the hex nut. Holding both wrenches firmly, pull the
larger wrench forward to the front of the machine.
To tighten the blade:
[] Using the small blade wrench, place the fiat open end
into the flats on the arbor shaft.
[] Insert the closed end of the large blade wrench over
the hex nut. Holding both wrenches firmly, push the
larger wrench to the back of the machine. Make sure
the blade nut is securely tightened. Do not overtighten.
NOTE: Arbor shaft has left hand threads.
Check all clearances for free blade rotation. See To Set
the Scale to the Blade in the Adjustment Section. In cut-
ting operations, the scale will be set to the side of the
blade where the cut will be measured and made.
