DUST CHUTE
See Figure 45.
This saw features a dust chute for convenience in discharging
sawdust. A standard shop vac can be attached to the chute,
located under the back side of the saw cabinet.
During periods of extended use, the dust chute should be
emptied and cleaned to prevent buildup of sawdust and
to make sure there are no obstructions that could hinder
maximum performance.
To clean the dust chute:
Unplug the saw.
Loosen the screw at the bottom of the dust chute.
Remove the cover.
Shake out any sawdust and wipe with a clean dry cloth,
as needed.
Replace the cover and securely tighten the screw.
WARNING:
Before performing any adjustment, make sure the tool
is unplugged from the power supply and the switch is in
the OFF ( O ) position. Failure to heed this warning could
result in serious personal injury.
To avoid unnecessary set-ups and adjustments, a good
practice 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.
REPLACING THE BLADE
See Figures 46 - 48.
Blade kerf width must be within the limits stamped on the
riving knife.
Unplug the saw.
Remove the blade guard and anti-kickback pawls.
Lower the saw blade and remove the throat plate.
Make sure the bevel locking lever is locked.
Raise the saw blade to full height.
Insert the open end of the blade wrench onto the flats on
the arbor shaft.
