Blade
Please refer to our current catalog for a complete
selection of saw blades. To install the saw blade:
1. Unthread the arbor nut clockwise and
remove the outside flange from the arbor.
Note that there is a
3
⁄4'' diameter spacer on
the arbor shaft. Remove and discard it.
Remember the arbor nut is a left-handed
thread.
2. Install the saw blade onto the arbor. Ensure
that the blade teeth point toward you as you
stand at the front of the saw. Slide on the
flange and thread the arbor nut back on.
3. Use the arbor wrench provided with the saw
to tighten the arbor nut. Wedge a block of
wood in the teeth of the blade to keep it from
turning when tightening the nut as shown in
Figure 24.
