4 . While engaging the arbor lock lever, loosen ar-
bor nut counter clockwise (to the front of the the
saw table) with the wrench provided (Fig . 13) .
5 . Re move the arbor nut and outer washer .
6 . Clean any sawdust from both blade washers
before installing the blade. Install a 8-1/4''
(210mm) blade onto the arbor with the blade
teeth pointing toward the front of the saw .
NOTE: The printing on different saw blades
is not always on the same side .
To avoid injury, do not use a blade larger or
smaller than 8-1/4'' diameter and 5/8'' arbor .
7. Install the flange against the blade and
thread the arbor nut as far as possible by
hand. Ensure that the blade is flush against
the inner blade flange (Fig. 14).
8 . While lifting up arbor lock lever securely,
tighten the arbor nut clockwise (to the rear of
the saw table) with the wrench (Fig . 13) .
9 . Position the table insert in the pocket of table
so that the tabs on the table insert are in the
slots in the pocket of the table; push down on
the table insert and secure it in place .
To avoid injury from a thrown workpiece, blade
part, or blade contact, never operate the saw with-
out the proper insert in place . Use the table insert
when sawing . Use the dado insert when using a
dado blade .
USING CARBIDE-TIPPED BLADES
Handle carbide-tipped blades carefully . Carbide
is very brittle and can be easily damaged . Use
caution when you install, use or store the blades .
Do not use a carbide-tipped blade that is bent or
has bent teeth, or if the blade has cracks, is bro-
ken, or has missing/loose carbide tips. Do not
operate a carbide-tipped blade faster than its
recommended speed . When selecting a blade,
ensure it is rated above 5300 rpm .
Read, understand, and follow all warnings and
instructions provided with your carbide-tipped
blades .
ATTACHING RIP FENCE FOR USE
1 . Ensure that the rip fence lock levers on both
sides of the fence are in the released position .
2 . Align the notch on the rip fence bracket with
the bolt heads on the front and rear rails .
Ensure that the flip-over fence will be on the
blade-side of the main fence when in its use
position . See Fig . 15 .
Assembly
3 . Lower the fence onto the rails and secure the
lock levers on both sides of the fence .
4 . Ensure that the rail lock paddle is in the
