Original Instructions
WARNING
To avoid personal injury, maintain proper adjustment
of blade tension, blade tracking, blade guides, and
thrust bearings.
INSTALLING AND ADJUSTING THE BLADE
See Figure 17.
■
Loosen and remove the wing screw, washers, and
D-nut from the saw table.
■
Open the front covers by unscrewing the cover
locking screw.
■
Turn the lock knob counterclockwise to unlock the
blade guide assembly. Turning the blade guide
knob (clockwise raises the blade guide assembly;
counterclockwise lowers it), position the blade guide
assembly about halfway between the saw table and
saw housing. Retighten the lock knob.
■
Open the blade guard by pulling the left side of the
guard out and away from the wheel.
■
Release all blade tension from the blade.
■
Carefully remove the old blade.
■
Wearing gloves, carefully uncoil the new blade at
arms length. If the new blade was oiled to prevent
rusting, it may need to be wiped to keep the oil from
your workpiece. Carefully wipe in the same direction
the teeth are pointing so the rag does not catch on
the teeth of the saw blade.
NOTE: The blade may need to be turned inside out if the
teeth are pointing in the wrong direction. Hold the blade
with both hands and rotate it inward.
■
With the teeth of the blade toward the left of the saw
and facing downward, place the blade through the
lower blade guides and around both wheels.
■
Slowly turn the upper wheel to the right or clockwise
by hand to centre the blade on the rubber tires.
■
Re-engage the RapidSet™ blade tension lever then
adjust the blade tension; check or adjust the blade
tracking.
■
Adjust both upper and lower blade guides and
thrust bearings as explained later in this Operator's
Manual.
■
Reattach the wing screw, washers, and D-nut.
Tighten securely.
■
Close the blade guard and front cover. Tighten the
cover locking screw.
ADJUSTING BLADE GUIDE ASSEMBLY
See Figures 18 - 19.
To prevent the blade from twisting or breaking, the blade
guide assembly should always be set approximately 3.2
mm (1/8") above the workpiece.
■
Turn the lock knob counterclockwise to unlock the
blade guide assembly.
■
As a guide, use a scrap piece of the same wood
you are about to cut to set the height of the blade
guide assembly. Adjust the blade guide assembly by
