ADJUSTMENTS
wARNING:
Before performing any adjustment, make sure the tool is
unplugged from the power supply and the switch is in the
OFF position. Failure to heed this warning could result in
serious personal injury.
wARNING:
Blades coast after turn off. Possible serious injury can
occur if hands come in contact with blade.
The table saw has been adjusted at the factory for making
very accurate cuts. However, some of the components might
have been jarred out of alignment during shipping. Also,
over a period of time, readjustment will probably become
necessary due to wear.
To avoid unnecessary set-ups and adjustments, a good prac-
tice is to check your setups carefully with a framing square
and make practice cuts in scrap wood before making finish
cuts in good workpieces. Do not start any adjustments until
you have checked with a square and made test cuts to be
sure adjustments are needed.
TO REPLACE THE bLADE
See Figures 47 - 49.
NOTE: Arbor shaft has left hand threads.
Unplug the saw.
Lower the saw blade, raise or remove the blade guard,
and remove the throat plate.
Raise the saw blade to full height.
Make sure the bevel locking lever is locked.
Insert the open end of the small blade wrench onto the
flats on the arbor shaft.
Insert the closed end of the larger blade wrench over the
hex nut. Holding both wrenches firmly, pull the outside
wrench (right side) forward while pushing the inside (left
side) to the back of the saw.
Remove the blade.
To install a standard blade:
Place the new blade on the arbor shaft (the teeth
must point down toward the front of the saw to work
properly).
Place the blade washer and the blade nut over the arbor
shaft. Be sure the dome side of the blade washer faces
out from the blade and that all items are snug against
the arbor housing. Make sure the blade nut is securely
tightened. Do not overtighten.
Rotate the blade by hand to make sure it turns freely.
Lower the saw blade and reinstall the throat plate.
NOTE: To replace the blade with an accessory blade, follow
the instructions provided with the accessory.
Rotate the blade by hand to make sure it turns freely.
Lower the saw blade and reinstall the throat plate.
