ASSEMBLY TO CHECK SAW BLADE INSTALLATION See Figure 12. NOTICE: To work properly, the saw blade teeth must point down toward the front of the saw. Failure to heed this warning could cause damage to the saw blade, the saw, or the workpiece. Unplug the saw. Lower the saw blade and remove the throat plate. Make sure the bevel locking lever is securely pushed to the left, see figure 29. Raise the saw blade to its full height by turning the height/bevel adjusting handwheel clockwise. Place riving knife in "up" position. To loosen the blade: Remove the blade wrench from the blade wrench storage area. Using blade wrenches, place the flat open end of a blade wrench on the flats on the arbor shaft. Insert the closed end of the blade wrench over the blade nut. Holding both wrenches firmly, pull the wrench (right side) forward to the front of the machine. To tighten the blade: Using the blade wrench, place the flat open end into the flats on the arbor shaft. Insert the closed end of the blade wrench over the blade nut. Holding both wrenches firmly, push the wrench (right side) to the back of the machine. Make sure the blade nut is securely tightened. Do not overtighten. Reinstall the throat plate. Check all clearances for free blade rotation. TO INSTALL THE ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS AND BLADE GUARD See Figures 13 - 15. WARNING: Always install the blade guard and anti-kickback pawls onto the riving knife in the "up" position to provide proper blade coverage. Installing the guarding components onto the riving knife in any other position will prevent them from working as designed, which could increase the risk of serious personal injury.
