Place the saw blade on to the spindle making sure the teeth of the blade point down at the front of the table. Assemble the washers and arbor nut to the spindle and tighten arbor nut as far as possible by hand, making sure that the saw blade is against the inner washer and the large washer diameters are against the blade. Ensure the side of outer washer marked "Blade Side" is against the blade (see Figure 7). Ensure the spindle and washers are free from dust and debris. 4. To keep the spindle from rotating when tightening the arbor nut, use the open-ended spindle wrench to secure the spindle (see Figure 8). 5. Using the arbor wrench, tighten the arbor nut by turning it clockwise (see Figure 8). FIG. 5 PIN OPENING DUST EXHAUST 5 English
