Instruction Manual

This saw uses pinned and pinless blades. Pinned blades are

thicker for stability and for faster assembly. They provide

faster cutting on a variety of materials.

Note: When installing pinned blades, the slot on the blade

holder must be slightly wider than the thickness of the blade.

After the blade is installed, the blade tension mechanism will

keep it in place.

1. To remove the blade, loosen the tension on it by lifting up

the blade tension lever. Turn the lever counterclockwise to

loosen the blade holder if necessary.

2. Remove the table insert. Carefully pry up on the table insert

to remove.

3. Push down on the upper blade holder to remove the blade

from the holder (2). Remove the blade from the lower blade

holder (3).

CAUTION: Install the blade with the teeth pointing down-

ward.

4. To install the blade, hook the blade in the recess of the

lower blade holder (3).

5. While pushing down on the upper blade holder, insert the

blade into the slot of the holder.

7. Move the blade tension lever down and make sure the

blade pin is properly positioned in the blade holders.

8. Adjust the blade to the desired tension. Turning the blade

tension knob clockwise tightens the blade and turning the

knob counterclockwise loosens the blade.

8. Place the table insert back into place.
