ASSEMBLY
OPERATION
SELECTING THE BLADE
A combination blade is furnished with your saw and is an excellent blade for
all general ripping and crosscutting operations. When crosscutting and
smoothness of cut is an important factor, use a thin-rim blade. Use a fine
tooth blade when cutting plywood and masonite. Special blades are
available for cutting plexiglas and “problem materials” (metal, laminates, and
gauge-size sheet steel).
TO CHANGE SAW BLADES
To remove the blade, place the teeth of the blade against the edge of a
board and loosen the blade retaining screw by turning it counterclockwise
with the provided wrench. Remove the blade retaining screw and the outer
flange. Hold the telescoping guard open and remove the blade. Before
installing a new blade, remove the inner flange and wipe it clean. Also
remove any sawdust that may have accumulated in the guards, around the
saw arbor, and from the telescoping guard spring. Check the telescoping
guard to ensure that it is in working order.
If telescoping guard movement is sluggish or binding exists,
return the saw to your nearest AUTHORIZED PORTER-CABLE SERVICE
STATION or PORTER-CABLE SERVICE CENTER for repair. NEVER use your
saw if the telescoping guard is not in working order.
Clean and replace the outer flange making certain the square hole mates
with the squared end of the saw arbor. Install the blade with the teeth
pointing “UP
” at the front of the saw. Firmly tighten the blade retaining
screw.
INSTALLING PLEXIGLAS BLADE
NOTE: Use the following installation procedure ONLY for cutting plexiglas.
Install a special plexiglas-cutting blade with the teeth pointing “DOWN
” at
the front of the saw.
