B. BLADE CHANGING INSTRUCTIONS
Always unplug saw before changing blades.
IMPORTANT NOTE: BLADE
INSTALLED ON SAW IS FOR
CUTTING WOOD ONLY.
1. For your safety, mount your saw in a location that does not
require you or an observer to stand in line with the saw blade.
Your saw
must
be securely mounted to a sturdy table or work-
bench before use. Using the template on page 4, drill four 1/4"
diameter holes through your tabletop and secure the saw to
the workbench with the screws and washers provided. As an
alternate, to maintain some portability of your saw mounting,
use the template to drill holes through a piece of 3/4" thick
plywood and secure the saw with #10-32 x 1-1/4" Flat Head
Machine Screws from your local hardware store; then use a
minimum of two C-clamps to attach the plywood/saw combination
to your workbench. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN SCREWS.
2. Remove clean-out/blade storage door on right side of saw.
Turn screw counter-clockwise with flat blade screwdriver. Swing
bottom of door out and up until top of door is free from housing.
3. Remove packing material from inside of saw housing.
4. Install blade guard as follows: insert slotted end of blade guard
support arm into blade slot in table top and between metal plate
and motor housing as shown in drawing. Tighten holding screws
securely with a cross-point (Phillips) screwdriver.
5. Check blade mounting screw for tightness before operating
saw. See blade changing instructions that follow. (Section B).
6. Replace door.
A. SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
Do not plug cord into electrical outlet until all set-up steps are completed.
1. Remove blade plate on top of saw table by removing two
screws holding plate to table.
2. Raise blade to its full up
position. (See C-2).
3. Insert long end of smaller
Allen wrench supplied into
small hole in table top.
Turn saw blade by hand
until Allen wrench drops
into arbor hole and
prevents arbor shaft
and blade from turning.
4. Insert small end of larger
Allen wrench into socket
head cap screw on end of
blade arbor. Remove screw,
washer and blade by turning
screw counterclockwise.
5. Install new blade by reversing operations 1 through 4.
Tighten hex head cap screw securely. Note: When using a blade
thinner than .030", do not use the blade guard.
6. Adjust blade plate
to suit different blade
thicknesses and
angles by sliding
towards or away from
blade. Keep blade
plate at least 1/32"
away from blade.
7. Blade may also be
changed through clean
out/blade storage
door.

NOTE:
Some blade guards have a stop pin which prevents the guard from being placed in a fully raised position.
In this case, use a piece of tape to hold the blade guard in the up position while changing the blade.
