Scoring Blade
Most scoring blade sets consist of an inner and
outer blade and internal shims. The shims are
provided so the scoring blade thickness can be
adjusted to match the kerf thickness of the main
blade. The requirements for the G0460/G0461
scoring blade are an 80mm outside diameter with
a 20mm arbor hole.

To install the scoring blade:
1. DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER!
2. Move the blade tilt to 0° (blade 90° to table)
and lower the main blade all the way down.
3. Slide the table all the way forward to access
the blade arbor, loosen the flange bolt secur-
ing the lower blade guard, slide the flange
bolt up, and pull open the lower blade guard.
4. Measure the thickness of the main blade (at
the carbide tips). Use the shims that came
with the scoring blade set (
Figure 38) to
stack the scoring blade to the same thickness
as the main blade.
Figure 39. Installing the scoring blade.
5. Install the blade set with the teeth facing the
opposite direction as the main blade, then re-
install the arbor flange and the arbor nut.
6. Place a hex wrench in the hole in the arbor
and use the arbor wrench to tighten the arbor
nut as shown in
Figure 39.
Note: The arbor nut has right-hand threads
and tightens by turning clockwise.
7. Move the lower blade guard back into its
original position and lock it in place.
