blade.
TO INSTALL A SAW BLADE:
1.
Install the blade on the arbor so that the openings
between the teeth face the front of the saw (the
blade spins in the clockwise direction).

NOTE
When tightening the arbor nut, take care not to
over tighten as this will make it very difficult to
remove later. Because the rotation of the blade
runs counter to the direction of the threads on the
nut, the blade is essentially tightening itself to the
nut whenever the saw is running. Though there are
no hard and fast rules for how much torque is
required, the arbor nut should always be tightened
firmly but without excess.
Use a straightedge to determine whether the insert is level
with the table top. Turn each of the 4 adjusting screws with
a 1/8" Allen key until done.
Suggestion: Start by adjusting one rear screw and its
diagonal opposite in front, then tweak the remaining two
screws.
Note: If the sawblade has already been installed, use the rai-
sing handwheel to lower the blade below the table surface
before leveling the insert
.
