-46- G0501 Sliding Table Saw
5. Position the blade guard to the correct height
for your workpiece.
6. Load the workpiece onto the table saw. The
set up should look similar to Figure 74 or 75.
7. Once all the necessary safety precautions
have been taken, perform the cutting opera-
tion.
The Model G0501 will perform best when high
quality, sharp blades are used. Therefore, when-
ever the main blade starts to get dull, we recom-
mend that you have it resharpened or replace it
with a new blade.
Also, the Model G0501 is designed to accommo-
date either a 12" or a 14" main blade. But any
time you change blade sizes, the appropriate
sized riving knife must also be changed to match
the size of blade you install.
To change main blade:
1. Move the blade tilt to 0˚ on the control panel
(blade 90˚ to table).
2. Disconnect the saw from the power
source!
3. Move the sliding table all the way to the left
and push the release knob to expose the
internal blade guard that covers the blades
and riving knife, as shown in Figure 80.

4. Pull the blade guard away from the riving
knife to expose the mounting assembly. (The
internal blade guard is held in place with a
magnet.)
5. Insert the arbor lock tool (shaft with the round
knob) into the hole in the cast iron table and
rotate the main blade until the arbor lock tool
drops in place (Figure 81) and locks the
blade.

6. Place a rag over the main blade and put
leather gloves on your hands for protection.
