MAINTENANCE
CHANGING THE BLADE
Use only cross-cutting saw blades.
When using carbide-tipped blades, do not use blades with deep gullets as they can deflect and
contact the guard.
Use only 10" diameter saw blades rated for 5200 rpm or higher, and have 5/8" diameter arbor holes.
Disconnect machine from power source.
REMOVE WRENCHES (A) FIG. 39 AND (A) FIG. 40 BEFORE STARTING THE MACHINE.
The cover must be returned to its original position and the screw tightened before activating the saw. •
Failure to do so may allow the cover to contact the spinning saw blade resulting in damage to the saw and
severe personal injury.
1. Remove the screw (A) Fig. 37 and rotate the cover (B) Fig. 38 to the rear.
2. To remove the saw blade, insert the 5mm hex wrench (A) Fig. 39 into the hex hole located on the rear end of the
motor shaft to keep the shaft from turning.
3. Use a wrench (A) Fig. 40 to loosen the arbor screw (C) by turning it clockwise.
4. Remove the arbor screw (C) Fig. 40, outside blade flange (B), and saw blade from the saw arbor.
5. Attach the new saw blade making certain that the teeth of the saw blade are pointing down at the front. Attach
the outside blade flange (B) Fig. 40, then the arbor screw (C), and turn it counterclockwise, using the wrench (A)
Fig. 40. At the same time, use the hex wrench (A) Fig. 39 to keep the arbor from turning.
6. Rotate the cover back to its original position and secure it in place with the screw removed in STEP 1.
