Changing the Blade:
•
Inspect the new blade thoroughly before installing. Check for cracks, loose or missing segments, worn or out-of-
round arbor holes. Refer to the Rx for Diamond Blades pamphlet provided with your blade for more detailed
information on inspecting blades. Be sure the blade is appropriate for the job and matches the arbor speed and
mounting confi guration on this saw. (Figure 17)

Push the rolling table all the way to the back of the machine.
•
Blade guard should be rotated all the way up and tightened into place.

Remove blade cap and bolt. Carefully remove old blade.
•
Inspect arbor shaft, backing plate and blade guard while blade is off.
Clean if dirty or replace if damaged or worn.
•
Look for “direction of rotation” markings on the blade. (Usually an arrow
stamped on the blade.)
•
Place new blade on the arbor shaft verifying that once installed the
markings on the blade follow the proper direction of rotation.
•
Reinstall and tighten bolt using a SAE 3/4” wrench. Reinstall blade cap.
