Mounting Blade Guard and Splitter

1. Disconnect saw from power source.

2. Attach splitter mounting bracket to saw

trunnion using pin, nut and washer as shown

in Figure 18. Insert the pin into the trunnion

hole until it is flush on the other side, then

hold a wrench on the flat of the pin to

stabilize it, while tightening the nut

counterclockwise. The upper bracket is

secured to the lower bracket with four 5/16-

18 x 1 screws, four 5/16 flat washers, and

four 5/16 hex nuts.

3. Loosen top screws (A) on the mounting

bracket, and the screw (C) on the inside

splitter mounting plate, as shown in Figures

18 and 19. The slotted legs of the splitter

assembly will slide onto the screws. (You

may need to loosen set screws (B), Figure

18, to slide bracket to required position on

pin.)

TIP: If the slotted section of the splitter

proves difficult to position over the screw on

the mounting plate (C), push the splitter

guard toward the back of the saw then push

down on the guard, allowing the slotted

section to slide on to the screw so that the

nut and washer compress the guard's feet

against the plate.

4. When splitter assembly is properly situated,

tighten screws (A), (B), and (C).

Saw Blade Installation

1. Disconnect machine from power source.

2. Raise the arbor to its highest point and

remove the arbor nut, shown in Figure 20,

by turning nut counterclockwise.

3. Remove the flange and place saw blade on

the arbor making sure the cutting edge of

the teeth at the top of the blade face toward

the front of the saw, as shown in Figure 21.

4. Slide the flange on the arbor and start the

nut on the threads. Snug the nut against the

flange using the wrench while holding saw

blade with thumb and fingertips.

5. Lower the saw blade and wedge a block of

wood between the blade and the table to

keep the blade from moving. Tighten the

blade securely with the arbor wrench.

6. See page 19 to align the splitter with the

saw blade.

Before operating the saw, the

splitter must be aligned with the blade to

help prevent kickback.
