Changing Blades
Blade teeth are sharp! Use care
when handling the saw blade.
Failure to comply may cause serious injury!
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Loosen blade tension by pushing up on the release
lever (Fig. 6).
3. Remove the table insert and the table pin.
4. Open both wheel covers.
5. Back off the Thrust Bearing and both the upper and
lower guide bearings from the blade.
6. Remove the blade from between upper and lower
blade guides. Remove blade from upper and lower
wheels. Turn blade to direct through slot in table.
7. Before mounting blade make sure the orientation of
the blade is so the teeth are pointing down. If
holding blade in front of you, as if mounted in the
saw, the teeth should point down on right side of
the loop. If not the blade is inside out. Twist the
blade right side in to correct this, wear heavy
gloves when doing so.
8. Guide new blade through table slot. Place blade in
upper and lower blade guides.
9. Place blade in the middle of the upper and lower
wheel.
10. Replace table insert and table pin.
Tension and track blade before operating saw. Review
instructions for tensioning and tracking the blade under
"Adjusting Blade Tension" and "Adjusting Blade
Tracking".
Set thrust bearing and both upper and lower guide
bearings. Review instructions for setting the upper and
lower guider bearings under “Adjusting Upper Blade
Guide and Blade Thrust Bearings” ” and “Adjusting
Lower Blade Guide and Blade Thrust Bearings”
