WARNING:
Before performing any adjustment, make sure
the tool is unplugged from the power supply.
Failure to heed this warning could result in seri-
ous personal injury.
WARNING:
Blades coast after turn off. Possible serious injury
can occur if hands come in contact with blade.
The table saw has been adjusted at the factory for making
very accurate cuts. However, some of the components might
have been jarred out of alignment during shipping. Also,
over a period of time, readjustment will probably become
necessary due to wear.
To avoid unnecessary set-ups and adjustments, a good
practice is to check your setups carefully with a framing
square and make practice cuts in scrap wood before making
finish cuts in good workpieces. Do not start any adjustments
until you have checked with a square and made test cuts to
be sure adjustments are needed.
TO REPLACE THE BLADE
See Figures 46 - 47.
Unplug the saw.
Lower the saw blade, raise the blade guard, and remove
the throat plate.
Make sure the bevel locking lever is securely pushed to
the left. Raise the saw blade to its full height by turning
the height/bevel adjusting handwheel clockwise.
Using the smaller open wrench, insert the flat open end
into the flats on the arbor shaft.
Insert the closed end of the larger wrench over the hex
nut. Holding both wrenches firmly, pull the larger wrench
forward to the front of the machine. Make sure the arbor
nut is securely tightened. Do not overtighten.
NOTE: Arbor shaft has left hand threads.
Check all clearances for free blade rotation. Refer to To
Set the Rip Fence Indicator to the Blade in the Opera
-
tion section earlier in this manual. In cutting operations, the
scale will be set to the side of the blade where the cut will
be measured and made.
To replace the blade with an accessory blade, follow the
instructions provided with the accessory.

washer faces out from the blade and that all items are
snug against the arbor housing. Tighten securely.
Rotate the blade by hand to make sure it turns freely.
Lower the saw blade and reinstall the throat plate.
