· Slide the fence up, against the right hand edge
of the miter slot , and lock it in place, examine
how the fence line up with the miter slot.
NOTE: It’s permissible for the back of the fence
to pivot outward not more than 1⁄64” from be-
ing parallel to the blade. This creates a slightly
larger opening between the fence and the
blade, at the rear of the blade, to reduce the
risk of workpiece binding or burning as it is
fed through the cut. Many woodworkers in-
tentionally set up their fence in this manner.
Keep this in mind before adjusting your fence.
g) Install the fence scale.
· Slide the fence up against the saw blade, and
lock it in place, place the front rail tape scale
on the fence tube, make sure it is parallel with
the tube, and the“0” end is directly under the
red line on the
pointer window
as shown in fig-
ure 10; lightly
mark the “0”
location on the
tube with a pen-
cil, then remove
the fence; peel the tape and carefully align the
“0” mark on the scale with the pencil mark you
made.
NOTE: If you make a mistake, loosen the screws
on the point window, slide the fence against
the blade, adjust the pointer window , so the
red line on the window is over the “0” mark on
the tape, then secure the screws.
6. Install the switch.
Install the magnetic
switch onto the bot-
tom left hand side
of the front rail us-
ing two M6-1x12 hex
bolts, 6mm lock wash-
ers, and 6mm flat washers (fig. 11).
7. Install the miter gauge.
Slide the miter gauge into the T-slot on the left
hand side of the blade.
8. Install the blade.
WARNING: Turn the power switch “OFF” and
unplug the power cord from its power source
when changing the saw blade.
WARNING: When replacing blades, check the
thickness stamped onto the riving knife. You
must select a blade with akerf width larger
than the thickness of the riving knife. Thinner-
blades may cause the workpiece to bind during
cutting.
WARNING: USE ONLY 10” diameter blades
with 5/8” arbor holes, rated at or higher than
3800 rpm.
a) Remove blade guard assembly & table insert.
b) Raise the arbor all the way up and set the
blade angle at 0º.
c) Remove the arbor
nut and arbor flange
from the arbor, slide
on the included 10”
saw blade, making
sure the teeth face
the front of the saw, then install the arbor
flange and arbor nut onto the blade.
d) Put on a pair of heavy leather gloves and
use the included arbor wrenches to tighten the
arbor nut (turn clockwise to tighten) as shown
in figure 12.
9. Install the blade guard and riving knife.
a) Reinstall the
insert, slide the
knurled knob
out (see figure
13) and rotate it
forward so it en-
gages the upper
bracket.
b) Slide the blade guard spreader all the way
down into the block, then rotate the knurled
knob so it disengages the bracket and the lock-
ing pin engages the hole in the center of the
spreader.
c) Give the spreader
an upward tug to ver-
ify that it is locked the
blade guard, when
properly installed,
should look like figure
14, and should pivot freely so it touches the
table surface in the down position. it should
also swing up high enough to accommodate
the workpiece.
