This saw is designed with 12" main saw blade,
before you change blade sizes, the riving knife must be
adjusted to match the size of blade you install.
1. Open the motor compartment and remove the foam
shipping block and the red shipping brackets from the
motors.
2. Place the flat belt on the scoring blade arbor (Fig. 31),
lift the scoring motor and slide the flat belt over the
scoring motor pulley. (Option)
3. Move the blade tilt to 0° and raise the main blade as far
as it will go.
4. Slide the table all the way forward to access the blade
arbor and pull open the blade guard.
5. Use the arbor wrench to remove the arbor nut and
arbor flange, the arbor nut has left hand threads and
loosens by turning clockwise.
* Fix the saw blade by T Tool. (Fig. 31)
6. Slide the blade over the arbor with the teeth facing the
front of the saw (Fig. 32)
7. Re-install the arbor flange and the arbor nut and
tighten them against the blade (Fig. 32)
8. Loosen the riving knife center bolt, slide the riving knife
over the bolt (Fig. 33) and slightly tighten.
9. Position the riving knife about 3mm or 1/8" away from
the nearest carbide tooth on the main blade. For a
quick gauge, use the 3mm hex wrench to find the
correct spacing between the blade and the riving knife.
