WARNING:

Before performing any adjustment, make sure the tool

is unplugged from the power supply. Failure to heed this

warning could result in serious personal injury.

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 prac

tice 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 35 - 37.

 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 blade to its full height by turning the

height adjusting handwheel clockwise.

 Using the smaller wrench, insert the flat open end into

the flats on the arbor shaft as shown. Insert the larger

wrench over the arbor nut, and, holding both wrenches

firmly, pull the larger wrench forward to the front of the

machine to loosen and push to tighten. Make sure the

arbor nut is securely tightened. Do not overtighten.

NOTE: The arbor shaft has right-hand threads.

 Remove the outer blade washer from the arbor then

remove the blade. Make sure that the inner blade washer

and both spacers are tight against arbor shoulder.

 Place the new blade on the arbor shaft (the teeth must

point down toward the front of the saw to work

properly).

 Put the outer blade washer and arbor nut over the arbor.

Tighten securely.

 Rotate the blade by hand to make sure it turns freely.

 Check the spreader and adjust if needed.

 Lower the saw blade and reinstall the throat plate.

NOTE: Securely tighten throat plate screws. Do not allow

the throat plate to bow up above the table surface.
