BLADE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

(Fig. 8a-8e)

PIN-END BLADE (Fig. 8a-8c)

Pin-end blades are thicker for stability and for faster

assembly. They provide faster cutting on a variety of

materials.

• Open the blade guard upward.

• Loosen the blade tension by pushing the blade tension

knob (A) up.

To remove a blade:

Lift the saw blade (B) out by pulling forward on blade, then

lifting the blade from the upper blade holder (C) and lower

blade holder (D). Slight downward pressure against the upper

arm (E) may be helpful when removing blade from upper

blade holder.

To install a blade:

• Place the new blade through the opening in the table insert

(F) with the teeth to the front of the saw and pointing down

toward the work table.

• Hook the new blade in the recess of the lower blade

holder (D).

• Pull up on the blade, press down on the upper arm (E) and

position the upper end of the blade in the slot on the upper

holder (C).

• Push down the blade tension knob (A).

• Adjust the blade tension by turning the blade tension knob.

Turn it clockwise will increase blade tension and turn it

counterclosewise will reduce blade tension.

Note: when blade is too tight or not installed, it may

viberate.
