ASSEMBLY
CHECKING SAW BLADE INSTALLATION
See Figure 19.
NOTICE:
To work properly, the saw blade teeth must point down
toward the front of the saw. Failure to heed this warning
could cause damage to the saw blade, the saw, or the
workpiece.
Unplug the saw.
Remove the blade wrench from the blade wrench storage
area.
Lower the saw blade and remove the throat plate.
Raise the saw blade to its full height by turning the height/
bevel adjusting handwheel clockwise.
Make sure the bevel locking lever is locked. (See figure 38.)
Place riving knife in the “up” position.
To loosen the blade:
Place the flat open end of the open end blade wrench on
the flats on the arbor shaft.
Insert the closed end blade wrench over the blade nut.
Holding both wrenches firmly, pull the closed end wrench
forward to the front of the machine.
NOTE: Arbor shaft has right-hand threads.
To tighten the blade:
Place the flat open end of the open end blade wrench on
the flats on the arbor shaft.
Insert the closed end blade wrench over the blade nut.
Holding both wrenches firmly, push the closed end wrench
to the back of the machine. Make sure the blade nut is
securely tightened. Do not overtighten.
NOTE: Arbor shaft has right-hand threads.
Reinstall the throat plate.
Check all clearances for free blade rotation.
After installation, adjust the rip scale indicator to account
for the kerf and thickness of the blade. Refer to To Set the
Rip Fence Scale Indicator to the Blade in the Operation
section of this manual. In cutting operations, the scale will be
set to the side of the blade where the cut will be measured
and made.
