Wheel Changing

  1. Raise the saw and open the swing guard.
  2. Push the spindle lock towards the fixed guard and rotate the wheel until it locks.
  3. Loosen the arbor bolt and remove the flange washer, outer flange, and old wheel.
  4. Perform a ring-test on the new wheel: suspend it and tap it with a non-metallic object. A clear tone indicates an undamaged wheel; a dead sound indicates a crack.
  5. Install the new wheel, ensuring the concave side of the outer flange faces the wheel. Tighten the arbor bolt (do not overtighten).

Angle Cuts

To cut at angles up to 45°, loosen the two bolts on the angle scale, adjust to the desired setting, and retighten both bolts.

Using the Vise

Secure workpieces using the vise to prevent movement. Use the quick release and vise handle to tighten the jaw against the workpiece.

Maintenance

  • Before Each Use: Inspect for loose hardware, misaligned parts, cracked components, or damaged wiring.
  • After Use: Wipe external surfaces with a clean cloth.
  • Cleaning: Periodically blow dust out of motor vents using dry compressed air while wearing appropriate safety gear.
  • Storage: Keep accessories in a dry, frost-free area. Do not use wheels that have been dropped or bumped.
