ALIGNING MITER SLOTS TO BLADE

The saw table has been aligned at the factory so the

miter gauge slots are parallel to the saw blade. However,

it is recommended to check the alignment before initial

operation as follows:

DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER

SOURCE.

1. Place a combination square (A) Fig. 66, on the table

with one edge of the square in the miter gauge

slot, as shown, and adjust the square so the ruler

just touches one of the teeth on the saw blade at

the forward position, as shown in Fig. 66. Lock the

square in this position.

2. Rotate the saw blade so that the same tooth you

used in STEP 2 is in the rear position, as shown in

Fig. 67, and check this distance. Both the front and

rear measure ments should be identical.

3. If an adjustment is necessary, loosen the two hex

head bolts (B) Fig. 68 that hold the rear trunnion to

the saw table.

4. Using a rubber mallet (or a regular hammer and a

block of wood), tap the trunnion (C) until a position is

found which brings the saw blade to the center of the

table insert slot, and parallel to the miter gauge slot.

5. Tighten the two hex head bolts that were loosened in

STEP 3.

6. Tilt the blade to 45 degrees, and turn the saw blade by

hand, and insure it does not contact the table insert.

CHANGING THE SAW BLADE

USE ONLY 10" DIAMETER BLADES WITH

5/8" ARBOR HOLES, RATED AT 3600 RPM

OR HIGHER.

DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER

SOURCE.

1. NOTE: Two 7/8" wrenches are supplied with the saw

for changing the saw blade: a closed end wrench

(A) Fig. 69, and an open end wrench (B).

2. Remove table insert (C) Fig. 69, and raise saw blade

to its maximum height.

3. Place the open end wrench (B) Fig. 70, on the flats

of the saw arbor to keep the arbor from turning,

and using closed end wrench (A), turn the arbor nut

(D) toward the front of the saw to loosen. Remove

arbor nut, blade flange (C), and saw blade.

4. Place the new blade on the arbor, making certain

the teeth point down as the blade rotates toward

the front of the saw table. Assemble outside blade

flange and arbor nut to secure blade. With wrench

(B) Fig. 70, on the flats of the arbor to keep it from

turning, tighten arbor nut by turning wrench (A) to

the rear of the saw.

5. Replace table insert.

NOTE: Make sure you are using the proper blade for

the job you are doing and make sure the saw blade

you are using is sharp. If storing multiple blades, do

not stack blades on top of each other. Place material

(like cardboard) in between them to keep them from

touching.
