Warning: The blade guard must cover all of

unused portions of the blade exposed.
To adjust the blade guard:
1. Loosen the two black knobs that secure
the blade guard to the upper wheel
guard. Figure 15.
2. Slide the blade guard so it almost touch-
es the blade guide assembly.
3. Re-tighten the mounting knobs.

Replacement
To remove a blade:
1. Turn off the power and unplug the
machine.
2. Remove the table and V-Belt. See
Section VII.D.
3. Loosen and remove the tension adjust-
ment bolt. Lower the upper wheel mount-
ing arm.
4. Slip the blade off the wheels and pull it
out.
To install a blade:
1. Turn off the power and unplug the
machine. Remove the table and V-Belt.
2. Unscrew the tension adjustment bolt.
3. Lower the upper wheel mounting arm.
4. Slip the blade over both the lower and
upper wheels.
5. Carefully lift the upper wheel mounting
arm and engage the tension adjustment
bolt into the welded nut.
6. Tighten the tension adjustment bolt until
the blade is correctly tensioned. Check
according to Section VIII.A. Check
tracking as well. See Section VIII.B.
The teeth must point toward the front of
the saw and downward. If you cannot ori-
ent the blade so the teeth are in the cutting
position, the blade is inside out. Remove
the blade, twist it inside out, and replace it.
Be sure to check for correct tension and
tracking.
