Snstalling Pin End Blades
NOTE: The saw comes from the factory already set up
for pin end blades.
''1. Pin End Blade Set Up: Insert the blade change rod
through the hole above the upper blade holder. Use
the “T’ handle wrench to loosen the hex socket screw
and clamp from the upper blade holder. Install the
clamp so that the thick boss goes into the recess in the
blade holder. The "V" notches must line up.
2. Tighten the hex socket screw.
3. Repeat this procedure on the lower blade holder.
4. Check that the tension knob is loose.
5. Install the blade through the insert opening with the
teeth pointing down. Engage the pin into the "V" notch
of the lower biade holder.
6. Pull up on the blade and engage the upper pin in the
“V" notch of the upper blade holder.
7. Carefully tighten the biade tension by turning the ten­
sion knob clockwise until you feel the slack in
the blade is removed.
8. Check to see that the pins are properly located in the
slots. Turn the tension knob an additional two full turns
clockwise. This amount of biade tension should do
well for most cutting operations and blades. The num­
ber of turns will be approximately two full turns. This
will vary depending on blade thickness and blade type.
9. Make sure the blade is properly installed. Before apply-
N ing power, rotate the motor shaft by hand using a
screwdriver in the motor shaft slot as shown.
WARNING: To avoid injury from thrown objects,
remove the biade change rod and all tools from the
saw.
