WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, do
not use blade “dampers,”
“stabilizers,” or “stiffening collars” on both
sides of a replacement blade.
These are metal
plates positioned against the sides of the blade to
reduce deflection that may occur when using thin
saw blades . Use of these devices on both sides will
prevent the blade from being properly aligned with
the riving knife / splitter, which may bind the work
piece during cutting. One “stabilizer” plate may be
placed only against the outside of a thin replace-
ment blade . These plates are not required with the
supplied blade .
CHANGING THE BLADE
NOTE:
Clean blade of any excess oil before
installation .
1 . Remove the table insert (Fig . 11) .
2 . Raise the blade to the maximum height by
turning the control wheel clockwise (Fig . 11) .
3 . Lift up arbor lock lever and slowly rotate the
blade by hand until the lock fully engages the
saw arbor and stops rotation (Fig . 12) .

USING THE CORRECT BLADE
IMPORTANT:
The saw blade provided on this
tool has a diameter of 8-1/4 inches, a car
-
bide-tipped kerf width of 0 .079” (SKILSAW blade)
/ 0.094” (Diablo blade) and a plate (body) thick
-
ness that is 0.055” (SKILSAW blade) / 0.063” (Di
-
ablo blade) thick . When looking for a replacement
blade, select one with dimensions close to the
original blade . This information may not be printed
on the blade’s packaging. If it is not, check the
manufacturers catalog or website . SKILSAW of-
fers Premium-Quality Professional saw blades
that match the requirements for this tool . You
must select a blade with a kerf width of .075'' or

WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury,
do not use extra thin kerf saw
blades.
The kerf of the blade must be wider than
.075'' Extra thin kerf saw blades (less than .075'')
may cause the work piece to bind against the riv-
ing knife / splitter during cutting. It is recommended
that the kerf of the replacement blade used on this
saw be .075'' or more .
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury,
do not use saw blades made
with a thick body plate.
If the replacement saw
blade’s plate thickness is greater than .067'', the
riving knife / splitter would not properly serve as an
aid to reduce kickback. The replacement blade’s
plate thickness must be less than .067'' .
