CHANGING THE SAW BLADE

DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER

SOURCE.

1. NOTE: Two wrenches are supplied with the saw for

changing the saw blade; a box end wrench (A) Fig. 58 and

a 8mm hex wrench (B).

2. Remove table insert (D) and raise saw blade to its

maximum height.

3. T

o remove blade, place the hex wrench (B) Fig. 58,

in the hex hole in the arbor to keep the arbor from turning,

and use box end wrench (A) to turn the arbor nut (C)

toward the front of the saw. Remove arbor nut, blade

flange and saw blade.

4. Assemble the new blade, making certain the teeth

point down at the front of the saw table and assemble

outside blade flange and arbor nut. With hex wrench (B)

Fig. 58, inserted in the hex hole on the arbor to keep it

from turning, tighten arbor nut by turning box end

wrench (A) toward the rear of the saw.

5. Replace table insert. IMPORTANT: When installing the

table insert, make certain to hold on to the blade guard.

NOTE: Use only 10" saw blades with 5/8" arbor

holes, rated for at least 4000 RPM.

REPLACING BELTS AND

ADJUSTING BELT TENSION

DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER

SOURCE.

1. Remove motor cover to gain access to the motor.

2. Put blade at 90 degrees. Place a block of wood (C) Fig.

59, in between the motor and saw cabinet as shown

and lower the arbor until the motor contacts the wood.

4. Loosen two bolts on the motor mounting plate, one of

which is shown at (D) Fig. 59 and continue to lower the

saw arbor until all tension is removed from the three

belts (E). Tighten bolt (D).

5. Raise the saw arbor slightly to remove block of wood (C).

6 Remove the arbor bracket cover (G) Fig 59A. Three

screws hold the cover in place at (H). To get to the top

screw, tilt and then raise the arbor. Return arbor to

previous position once cover is off.

7. Remove the belts (E) Fig. 59A, one at a time from the

motor pulley and then the arbor pulley (F) Fig. 60. It will

be necessary to twist the belt 90 degrees so its thinnest

profile slides through the gap between the arbor bracket

(I) Fig. 60 and the cast iron arm casting (J) Fig. 60.

8. Assemble the three new belts, one at a time in the

grooves of the arbor pulley (F), and onto the motor pulley.

9. Replace the arbor bracket cover (G) Fig. 59A.

10. When the new belts are assembled, loosen screw (D)

Fig. 59 while holding the motor up. Carefully lower the

motor onto the belts. Tighten screw (D).

11. Check belt tension. Correct belt tension is when there is

approximately 1/4" deflection in the center span of the

pulleys, using light finger pressure. If more tension is

needed, push down on the motor. Then tighten screw

(D). Once you have proper tension, be sure to tighten

the screw (not shown) on the opposite side of the motor

mounting plate.
