Maintenance
Replacing Pawls
Make sure the teeth of the pawls are always
sharp. If they become dull the pawls must be
replaced:
1. Use 7/16" wrench to remove hex nut.
Remove old pawls.
2. Install new pawls. Place spacers exactly
as shown.
3. Re-install hex nut.
4. Check that pawls work freely.
Blade Changing
To change the saw blade:
1. Turn switch off', remove yellow key, and
unplug saw.
2. Remove guard.
3. Use both blade wrenches in scissor action
to loosen blade nut. Note: Arbor shaft has
left-hand threads. Tnrn nut clockwise to
loosen.
4. Remove nut, blade collar, and blade.
Install new blade, making sure that arrow is
on outside and points clockwise.
5. Re-install blade collar and nut. Note: Do
not overtighten nut because this can cause
blade collar to warp and blade to wobble
during cutting.
6. Re-install guard.
Lubricating Blade Guard Assembly
If guard becomes difficult to raise:
1. Clean sawdust t¥om the slot and slider.
2. Regrease with a small amount of light
grease applied to the slot and slider. Also
add a thin coat of grease between the Trigger
and the Pull Link.
Adjusting the Trigger
If the rlYigger becomes loose side-to-side,
adjust the setscrews at the top of the Yoke
Handle. Use a l/8" hex wrench to tighten
setscrews tight. Then back off one setscrew
until the Trigger moves ffcely.
