WARNING! Never install the blade backwards. The brake might not stop a blade that is

installed backwards, therefore you may receive a serious injury.

7. Brake Position Adjustment:

It is important to make sure that the brake cartridge is close

to, but not touching, the edge of the blade to minimize

the time it takes the safety system to stop the blade in

the event of an accident. The spacing between the brake

cartridge and the blade should be checked whenever the

blade or brake cartridge is changed. If the spacing is too

small, the blade may touch the brake and cause the brake

to activate.

The spacing between the brake cartridge and the blade

is adjusted by the brake positioning bolt mounted in the

top of the arbor block (see Fig. 9). To access the brake

positioning bolt, set the tilt angle to 0 degrees and adjust

the blade elevation to approximately 1½ inches above the

table top. The bolt will be accessible through the opening

in the table top.

To install the blade, use the open end of one of the blade

wrenches included with the saw to hold the arbor behind

the arbor flange, and use the closed end of the other blade

wrench to loosen the arbor nut. The arbor nut is right-hand

threaded so turn the nut counter-clockwise to loosen it

and clockwise to tighten it. After removing the arbor nut

and arbor washer, install the blade and reinstall the arbor

washer and arbor nut. Use the blade wrenches to tighten

the arbor nut securely (see Fig. 8).

Install dado sets just like you install a blade. For dado

widths larger than about 3/16”, remove the arbor washer

and tighten the arbor nut against the dado set. (Remember

to remove the standard 10” brake cartridge and install the

optional 8” dado brake cartridge before installing your dado

set.)
