Assembly; Blade Installation - Porter Cable 543 Manual De Instrucciones

NOTE: THIS TOOL IS SHIPPED COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED.
ANTI-SPLINTER BASE INSERT INSTALLATION
The anti-splinter base insert is used to
reduce chipping and splintering of the
top fibers of plywood, paneling, and other
splinter prone materials. With this insert,
you can place the good or finished side of
the workpiece "UP".
Install the insert as shown in Fig. 1.
NOTE: When using the anti-splinter insert,
set the base to the forward most position
(Fig. 9).
ANTI-MAR PLASTIC SUB-BASE INSTALLATION
The anti-mar plastic sub-base is used to prevent the normal metal base from
scratching, gouging, or otherwise marring the surface of the workpiece.
To install the plastic sub-base and remove the six screws from the bottom of the
base, remove the metal sub-base. Place the plastic sub-base on the saw, and
reinstall the six screws. Save the metal sub-base for later use.

BLADE INSTALLATION

1. Remove the anti-splinter insert (if installed).
2. Gently squeeze the switch trigger until the blade shaft moves slowly. Stop
the motor when the blade shaft is on or near the bottom of its stroke (Fig. 6).
3. Open the Keyless Quik-Change™ Blade Clamp by rotating the movable
lever (B) Fig. 2 toward the stationary lever (A) Fig. 2 as far as it will go. Hold it
