Adjustments
Before making adjustments to
saw, push rocker switch to OFF. Also unplug
saw from power if working around blade area.
9.1
Arm tilt
The table remains stationary, so the operator’s
hands can remain in the same comfortable position,
with no risk of the workpiece sliding off the table.
The arm can be tilted up to 45-degrees left or right
for beveled cuts, which are frequently used in
projects such as marquetry and intarsia. (Note:
Remove dust port to obtain full 45° tilt to left.)
Refer to Figure 9-1.
1. Loosen lock handle (A).
2. Make sure upper guard and blower nozzle
positions will not conflict with table.
3. Rotate handle (B) to desired angle. Preset
stops are available at 90°, 45°, 30° and 22.5°,
left and right. Push detent plunger (C) while
rotating handle (B) until plunger engages hole.
4. Tighten lock handle (A) and release plunger
(C).
Lock handle (A) is adjustable to prevent obstruction
when in angled position: Pull out handle and rotate
on pin, then release, making sure it reseats on pin.

Installing blade
1. Turn off saw.
2. Insert lower blade holder into hole in side panel
for leverage, and loosen knob. See Figure 9-2.
3. Slide blade into holder deep enough to gain
sufficient clamping, but not all the way which
can result in blade being too short for sufficient
gripping by upper guide. Make sure blade teeth
point down, toward the blade holder. Tighten
blade holder knob.
NOTE: If the blade holder set screw is backed
out, turn it in with a 3mm hex wrench until it
touches the tip of the knob when knob is
tightened down. You may need to stabilize the
blade holder with a 10mm wrench on the flats
while doing this.

4. Flip tension lever (D, Figure 9-3) upward to
release guide.
5. Guide blade up through table slot and push
blade holder into lower blade chuck (E).
6. Push top end of blade into upper guide (F),
making sure it rests between the contact points
of guide set screws, and against the back stop.
7. Push down tension lever (D) to clamp blade.
Do
not over-tension blade; this can result in blade
breakage or premature wear to clamping
surfaces.
8. Check that blade teeth point forward and down
toward table.
