ASSEMBLY
INSTALLING / CHANGING BLADE
1.
Make sure the cabinet saw is Off and the power cord is disconnected.
2. If you are replacing a blade, raise the saw blade to its maximum height and lock
the saw at 0 degrees. Remove the table insert.
3. Jam a large piece of scrap wood into the blade teeth at the front. See Fig.11.
4. Place the blade wrench (A) Fig.11 over the arbor nut (B) and pull the wrench
toward you (counterclockwise to loosen). Remove the arbor nut, flange (C) and
saw blade (D).
5. Place the new or different blade on the arbor shaft making certain the teeth point
down towards the front of the saw. Reposition the flange and the arbor nut.
6. Place the scrap wood in the blade’s teeth in the rear. Hold carefully so if it slips
or the blade turns, your hand will not contact the blade.
7. Using the wrench provided, securely tighten the arbor nut by pushing the wrench
away from you (clockwise to tighten). Remove the wrench and reposition the
table insert.
ADJUSTING TABLE INSERT
A table insert (A) Fig.12 gets placed in the opening in the saw table and should be
perfectly flush with the surface of the saw table. To adjust the table insert, place a
straight edge over the table insert and the table. Turn the 4 adjusting set screws
(B) in the insert, turn them in or out until all 4 corners of the insert are flush with
the table top.
ASSEMBLING BLADE GUARD/RIVING KNIFE
WARNING!
NEVER OPERATE SAW WITHOUT BLADE GUARD OR RIVING
KNIFE IN THE PROPER OPERATING POSITION. FALIURE TO DO THIS MAY
CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY!
Through-cut operations
- For all through-cut operations, the blade guard with
splitter (A) Fig.13 must be installed.
Install the blade guard splitter (A) Fig.13 in between the mounting plates below the
table insert. Push blade guard splitter all the way down, then pull the locking pin
wheel (B) away from the blade, push blade guard splitter further down in between
the mounting plates until the locking pin engages the splitter. Give the splitter and
upward tug to make sure that it is properly locked. The clearance between the
blade and the splitter should be between 1/8” to 5/16” (3-8mm).
Non through-cut operations
- For non through-cut operations with a 10” blade,
the riving knife (A) Fig.14 must be installed.
The riving knife gets installed the same way as the blade guard splitter, see
instructions above. For safety reasons, the highest point of the riving knife (A)
Fig.14 should never exceed the highest point of the blade teeth, generally 1/8” to
3/16” (1-5mm). See adjustments for more information.
WARNING!
SOME CUTTING OPERATIONS (DADO BLADE, MOLDING CUTTERHEAD)
WON’T ALLOW USE OF THE BLADE GUARD OR RIVING KNIFE. USE
EXTREME CAUTION DURING THESE OPERATIONS AS THE BLADE OR
CUTTERHEAD WILL BE EXPOSED AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.
