Changing the Saw Blade
2. Before fitting the new blade ensure that the inner saw blade washer is clean and correctly seated on the
shaft. Fit the blade over the shaft and check it is seated correctly against the rear saw plate washer. Locate
the offside blade washer over the shaft and the ‘key’ flanging, introduce the arbor bolt and its washer, screw
in until finger tight, check everything is seated correctly.
Engage the arbor lock and tighten the arbor bolt (anti-clockwise). Turn the blade by hand to check that
everything seems O.K.. Put the arbor bolt spanner back in its stowage. Rotate the saw guard bracket back
into position (make sure the operating lever is correctly positioned) and the saw guard bracket is fully back
on its holding screws, re-tighten, check everything moves freely and correctly, then tighten securely.
3. Reconnect the saw to the supply, ensure that the saw is in a safe position, the blade is free, and give the
machine a quick burst to check all is O.K., i.e. the blade runs true, no vibration, etc.
