Box spanner

‘Y’ wrench

Check the blade, the fabric, the sharpness, the set, etc. If all is o.k., place in its keeper and

stow safely away, if not all O.K. place in its keeper to await the ministrations of your local

saw doctor.

Take the opportunity, (with the blade off and the guard out of the way,) to clean the saw

thoroughly.

If you had removed it, replace the inner saw plate flange, make sure it is seated correctly on

the arbor. (Spacer shank to the rear), inspect the blade you are about to fit, correct number

of teeth? no damage? sharp? etc., fit the blade onto the rear saw flange, making sure it is

correctly fitted onto the bore flange. Replace the front flange, ensure that it is also correctly

fitted, with the locating/locking flats over the flats on the shaft, replace the bolt, and screw in

(remember lefthand thread) finger tight. Check that everything is seated correctly, all the

surfaces are 'flat' together. Tighten the bolt using the 'Y' wrench, and the box spanner. This

time rotating the wrench handle against the front of the top guard. Tighten firmly, but do not

over tighten. (See Fig 24)

Carefully rotate the saw blade by hand and check that it does not wobble. Move the lower

guard back into place, and replace the front fixed lower guard. Thumb the interlock aside

and check that the saw 'pulls over' correctly, nothing is jammed or sticks etc.

Remove ‘Y’ wrench and the box spanner. Reconnect the saw, switch on and give it a 'quick'

burst to ensure that nothing is untoward.
