This saw performs best with high-quality sharp blades.
Whenever the blades become dull, replace or sharpen
them.
To change the main blade, do these steps:
(% DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER!
)% Move the blade tilt to 0° (blade 90° to table) and
raise the main blade as far as it will go.
*% Move the sliding table all the way forward to expose
the internal blade guard that covers the blades and
riving knife, as shown in
=`^li\,-.
+% Pull the blade guard away from the blades to expose
the mounting assembly. (The internal blade guard is
held in place with a magnet.)
,% Insert the arbor lock tool into the hole shown in
=`^li\,-, then rotate the blade by hand until the
arbor lock tool seats.
-% Use the arbor wrenches to remove the arbor nut and
arbor flange, then pull the old blade off the arbor.
