TO CHECK SAW BLADE INSTALLATION
See Figure 19.
NOTICE:
To work properly, the saw blade teeth must point
down toward the front of the saw. Failure to heed

blade, the saw, or the workpiece.
 Unplug the saw.
 Remove blade wrenches from storage area by unscrewing
wing nut.
 Lower the saw blade and remove the throat plate.
 Raise the saw blade to its full height by turning the height
adjusting knob clockwise.
 Make sure the bevel locking lever is securely pushed to
the left.
 Place riving knife in "up" position.
To loosen the blade:
 Using the left blade wrench, insert the open end onto the
flats on the arbor shaft.
 Insert the closed end of the other wrench over the hex
nut. Holding both wrenches firmly, pull the outside wrench
(right side) forward while pushing the inside (left side) to
the back of the saw.
NOTE: Arbor shaft has right-hand threads.
To tighten the blade:
 Using the left blade wrench, insert the open end onto the
flats on the arbor shaft.
 Insert the closed end of the other blade wrench over the
hex nut. Holding both wrenches firmly, push the right
wrench to the back of the machine. Make sure the blade
nut is securely tightened. Do not overtighten.

WARNING:
Always install the blade guard and anti-kickback
pawls onto the riving knife in the "up" position
to provide proper blade coverage. Installing the
guarding components onto the riving knife in any
other position will prevent them from working
as designed, which could increase the risk of
serious personal injury.
