OPERATION

FIG. 6
•
Insert the supplied hex key into the rear labeled arbor access
port (Fig. 4) Ensure that the hex key engages completely
into the arbor socket. Hold the hex key firmly so that the
machine arbor cannot rotate.
•
Using the supplied Blade Change Allen Key, release the blade
arbor screw and remove the outer blade flange and the
blade. (Fig. 4 & 5)
Note: The arbor screw has a LH thread.
•
Install the new 255 mm (10") blade by guiding it down
through the table slot. Make sure the rotation arrow on the
blade matches the clockwise rotation arrow on the upper
guard. (Fig. 6)
Note: The blade teeth should always point downward at the
front of the saw. Be careful and patient, the blade is a very
precise fit within the machine. Sometimes extra clearance
when installing a new blade could be useful. If this is the case
raise the table height of the machine as detailed in Operating
Instructions – Table Saw Configuration – 2 Adjusting the Table
Height.
•
Install the outer blade flange and arbor screw. Ensure that
the outer blade flange lugs completely engage into the drive
flats machined on the machine arbor.
•
Whilst preventing the arbor from rotating tighten the arbor
screw using moderate force, but do not overtighten.
•
Return the lower guard to the 'safe' position by sliding the
sprung loaded operating pawl downwards along the slot
until it locks in its operating position.
•
Alternatively lower and cutting head to its lowest position.
The lower guard should return automatically to its operating
position with the operating pawl correctly deployed.
•
Reinstall the riving knife and top blade guard. Check that
the riving knife is close to, but does not foul, the saw blades
teeth.
•
A gap of 3-5mm between the edge of the riving knife and
tips of the blade teeth is ideal.
•
Ensure the both Allen Keys are removed and the machines
arbor rotates freely.
•
Ensure the blade guards are fully functional before using the
machine.
Note: Spacers and spindle rings should not be used with this
machine and/or blade.
