CAUTION:
Check the arbor hole diameter of the blade before
installing the blade. Always use the correct ring for
the arbor hole of the blade you intend to use.
Fig.16
Remove the table insert on the table. Hold the outer
flange with the wrench and loosen the hex nut
counterclockwise with the wrench. Then remove the
outer flange.
Assemble the inner flange, ring, saw blade, outer flange
and hex nut onto the arbor, making sure that the teeth of
the blade are pointing down at the front of the table.
Always install the hex nut with its recessed side facing
the outer flange.

For all countries other than European countries
CAUTION:
The ring 25.4 mm in outer diameter is
factory-installed onto the spindle.
For European countries
CAUTION:
The ring 30 mm in outer diameter is
factory-installed between the inner and outer
flanges.
Keep the flange surface clean of dirt or other
adhering matter; it could cause blade slippage. Be
sure that the blade is installed so that the teeth are
aligned in the cutting (turning) direction.
To secure the blade in place, hold the outer flange with
the offset wrench, then tighten the hex nut clockwise
with the wrench. BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX NUT
SECURELY.
Fig.18
CAUTION:
Be sure to hold the hex nut carefully with the
wrench. If your grip should slip, the wrench may
come off the hex nut, and your hand could strike
the sharp blade edges.
Installing blade guard
Fig.19
Fig.20
CAUTION:
Before installing the blade guard, adjust the depth
of cut to its maximum elevation.
For non-European type blade guard
Remove the center cover. Insert the riving knife into the
blade guard mounting portion (stay). Tighten the hex
bolts (A) with the provided wrench.
For European type blade guard
Fig.21
Fig.22
Remove the center cover. Insert the riving knife into the
blade guard mounting portion (stay). Tighten the hex
bolts (A) with the provided wrench.
Place the blade guard into the groove on the riving knife.
Secure the blade guard by pivoting the lever on the
blade guard.
For both European and non-European type blade
guards
The riving knife installing location is factory-adjusted so
that the blade and riving knife will be in a straight line.
However, if they are not in a straight line, loosen the hex
bolts (B) and adjust the blade guard mounting portion
(stay) so that the riving knife is aligned directly behind
the blade. Then tighten the hex bolts (B) to secure the
stay.
Fig.23
CAUTION:
If the blade and riving knife are not aligned properly,
a dangerous pinching condition may result during
operation. Make sure they are properly aligned.
You could suffer serious personal injury while using
the tool without a properly aligned riving knife.
NEVER make any adjustments while tool is
running. Disconnect the tool before making any
adjustments.
There must be a clearance of about 4 - 5 mm between
the riving knife and the blade teeth. Adjust the riving
knife accordingly and tighten the hex bolts (A) securely.
Attach the table insert on the table, then check to see
that the blade guard works smoothly before cutting.

Installing and adjusting rip fence
Fig.25
Install the rip fence so that the fence holder engages
with the nearmost guide rail.
To secure the rip fence, pivot fully the lever on the fence
holder.
To check to be sure that the rip fence is parallel with the
blade, secure the rip fence 2 - 3 mm from the blade.
Raise the blade up to maximum elevation. Mark one of
the blade teeth with a crayon. Measure the distance (A)
and (B) between the rip fence and blade. Take both
measurements using the tooth marked with the crayon.
These two measurements should be identical. If the rip
fence is not parallel with the blade, proceed as follows:
Fig.26
Fig.27
1. Secure the rip fence by lowering the lever on it.
2. Loosen the two hex bolts on the rip fence with the
hex wrench provided.
3. Adjust the rip fence until it becomes parallel with
the blade.
