Conair CTS 7 Saw User Manual


 
Lock out and tag out the power to the saw. See
Section 1: Introduction, How to use the Lockout Device.
Wait at least five minutes for the blade to stop
completely.
Open the rear access door of the machine.
Remove the screws that retain the blade door
to the blade shroud and hinge open the door.
Remove the hex nut.
The blade is held on with a hex nut tightened on the motor
arbor shaft. Based on either right to left or left to right saw
operation, the hex nut will be either a left hand or right
hand thread. A right to left saw operation means that the
product is entering the saw from the right side. A right to
left operating saw will use a left-handed threaded arbor.
This is done to insure that the arbor nut will want to con-
tinually tighten during blade rotation. The motor has an
arrow on the housing to indicate the arbor rotation.
Remove the hex nut using the spanner wrench provided to
hold the blade shaft. The saw blades will be removable at
this time.

REPLACEMENT
UGE058/0803 CTS Saw
OPERATION 4-9
IMPORTANT:
Always note the blade tooth direction
when removing blade to insure that the replacement
blade is installed the same. Rotating a carbide blade in
the wrong direction will usually damage the blade. As
standard, the blade rotation should have the top of the
blade rotating away from the front or operator side of the
unit.
