TO CHECK SAW BLADE INSTALLATION
See Figure 12.
CAUTION:
To work properly, the saw blade teeth must point down
toward the front of the saw. Failure to do so could cause
damage to the saw blade, the saw, or the workpiece.
NOTE: Arbor shaft has left hand threads.
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 smaller blade wrench, place the flat open end
on the flats on the arbor shaft.
Insert the closed end of the larger 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 smaller blade wrench, place the flat open end
into the flats on the arbor shaft.
Insert the closed end of the larger 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.
Check all clearances for free blade rotation. See
To Set the
Blade at 0˚ and 45˚ in the Adjustment section. In cutting
operations, the scale will be set to the side of the blade
where the cut will be measured and made.
TO INSTALL MITER FENCE
See Figure 13.
Remove the miter fence from the miter fence storage on
the side of the saw cabinet.
To install the miter fence to the sliding miter table, loosen
the lock knob so the bolt has enough clearance to slide
into the table slot.
Mount the miter fence to the miter table by installing the
locator pin (below the miter fence) into holes “A” or “B”.
At the same time, place the attachment bolt in the slot.
Properly adjust the miter indicator to the scale on the
end of the fence opposite the locator pin.
Retighten the lock knob.
