or sharpen them.
To change the main blade:
1. DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER!
2. Move the blade tilt to 0° (blade 90° to table)
and raise the main blade as far as it will go.
3.
Move the sliding table all the way forward
to expose the internal blade guard that cov-
ers the blades and riving knife, as shown in
Figure 51 .

4. Pull the blade guard away from the blades to
expose the mounting assembly. (The internal
blade guard is held in place with a magnet.)
5. Insert the arbor lock tool into the hole shown
in
Figure 51
, then rotate the blade by hand
until the arbor lock tool seats.
6. Use the arbor wrenches to remove the arbor
nut and arbor flange, then pull the old blade
off the arbor.
Note: The arbor nut has left hand threads
and loosens by turning clockwise.
7.
Slide the new blade over the arbor with the
teeth facing the right of the saw, as shown in
Figure 52
.
8.
Re-install the arbor flange and the arbor nut,
then tighten them against the blade as shown
in
Figure 52
. There MUST be an arbor flange
on both sides of the blade.
— If you changed the diameter of the blade
during this procedure, adjust the riving
knife according to the instructions titled
