Storing the Torx Wrench
There is a storage location on the saw to store
the Torx wrench (Fig. 7, 43). Insert the short leg
of the Torx wrench through the rubber grommet
as shown. Place the long leg into the tool rest.
NOTE: The
Torx wrench (43) is needed to
change the blade and to attach the side exten-
sions. If lost, use a Torx 30 wrench or a key.

the threads of the Torx screws, tighten the Torx
screws by hand with the Torx wrench (43). Do
