Changing Arbors
The blade guard has been removed for photos,
but it is possible to change the blade without
removing the blade guard.
1.
Disconnect saw from power source.
2. Remove the table insert and raise the blade
completely.
3. Use the two provided arbor wrenches to
loosen the arbor nut, as shown in Figure 22.
Place one wrench on the arbor nut and one
on the flats located on the arbor. Remove
the nut, flange and blade.
4. Unscrew the socket head cap screw (A,
Figure 23) found in the center of the
interchangeable arbor while holding the
arbor as shown in Figure 23.
5. Remove the interchangeable arbor and
replace with a new one. Screw the socket
head cap screw (A, Figure 23) into the new
arbor, as shown in Figure 24.
Note:
Always
clean the mating surfaces before installing
the interchangeable arbors.
6. Replace the blade followed by the flange
and arbor nut. Tighten the arbor nut while
holding the arbor in place.
Replacing and Tensioning V-Belt
1.
Disconnect saw from power source.
2. Lower the blade to its lowest position and
open the motor cover door.
3. Loosen two hex nuts (B, Figure 25).
4. Take tension off of the belts (C, Figure 25)
by lifting up on the motor.
5. Remove belts from the arbor and motor
pulleys.
6. Replace and tension the belts. The weight
of the motor should apply sufficient tension
to belts. Tighten the hex nuts (B, Figure 25).
7. Check the belt tension after the saw has
been used for a few hours. Adjust as
necessary.
