TO REMOVE THE BLADE
See Figures 35 - 37.
Use the two wrenches supplied with the saw in this proce-
dure to replace the blade.
WARNING:
Unplug your saw and make sure the blade guard assembly
is installed and working properly to avoid serious personal
injury.
Lower the blade and raise the blade guard.
Remove the screws from the throat plate then remove the
throat plate.
Raise the blade to its full height by turning the blade
adjusting handle counterclockwise.
Place the open end of the small hex wrench into the slot
beside the blade. The wrench will fit over two flats on the
flange/spacer.
See Figure 36.
Fit the large hex wrench onto the flange nut. Turn clockwise
and remove the flange nut, taking care not to drag your
knuckles across the blade.
Note: The flange nut has right-hand threads.
Remove the flange nut from the arbor and then remove
the blade. Make sure the flange/spacer and spacer/
washer are tight against arbor shoulder.
Replace with a new blade. Make sure the blade teeth are
pointing forward, toward incoming work.
Put the flange nut back on. Tighten the nut with a
clockwise turn.
Note: Use care not to cross thread flange nut. Do not
overtighten.
Rotate the blade by hand to make sure it is turning freely.
Check the riving knife and adjust if needed (see next
procedure).
Lower the blade, insert the throat plate, then securely
tighten the throat plate screw.
