REMOVING THE BLADE
See Figure 14.
Remove the blade and blade guard assembly during
setup for safety and better access. The blade guard
includes an upper blade guard, an outer lower guard,
and an inner lower guard. The lower inner guard
consists of two overlapping slotted metal strips. The
strips are held together with a retaining screw and a
nut. Locate these items before beginning the proce-
dure.
,_ WARNING: To prevent accidental contact with
the blade that could result in injury, remove the
blade and blade guard before making setups
involving the blade arbor and work stand. Use
the blade wrenches provided with your saw.
• Remove the retaining screw and nut at the bottom
of the lower inner blade guard.
• Loosen the guard clamp screw, a long thumbscrew
between the blade guard and the motor.
• Rotate and liftthe guard assembly up and over the
blade, then remove it.
• Hold the blade arbor (motor shaft) with one of the
two blade wrenches provided. Put the other blade
wrench on the blade nut and turn it clockwise
(down), since the blade arbor has left hand threads.
• Remove the blade nut, outer blade washer, saw
blade, and inner blade washer. Set these items
aside until all the tables have been installed and the
front table islevel.

long side of each support (with the slotted holes)
fits against the saw base.
