NOTE: This tool is shipped completely assembled. No assembly time or tools
are required.
SELECTING THE BLADE
A combination blade is furnished with your saw and is an excellent blade for all
general ripping and crosscutting operations. When crosscutting and smoothness
of cut is an important factor, use a thin-rim blade. Use a fine tooth blade when
cutting plywood and masonite. Special blades are available for cutting plexiglas
and "problem materials" (metal, laminates, and gauge-size sheet steel).
TO CHANGE SAW BLADES
To remove the blade, place the teeth of the blade against the edge of a board
and loosen the blade retaining screw by turning it counter-clockwise with the
provided wrench. Remove the blade retaining screw and the outer flange. Hold
the telescoping guard open and remove the blade. Before installing a new blade,
remove the inner flange and wipe it clean. Also remove any sawdust that may
have accumulated in the guards, around the saw arbor, and from the telescoping
guard spring. Check the telescoping guard to ensure that it is in working order.
STATION or PORTER-CABLE SERVICE CENTER for repair. NEVER use your saw if the
telescoping guard is not in working order.
Clean and replace the outer flange, making certain the square hole mates with the
squared end of the saw arbor. Install the blade with the teeth pointing "UP" at the
front of the saw. Firmly tighten the blade retaining screw.
INSTALLING THE PLEXIGLAS BLADE
NOTE: Use the following installation procedure ONLY for cutting plexiglas.
Install a special plexiglas-cutting blade with the teeth pointing "DOWN" at the
front of the saw.
TO ADJUST THE DEPTH OF CUT
Loosen the depth-adjusting knob (A) Fig. 1,
and raise or lower the saw housing until the
blade extends the desired distance below
the base. For best results, the blade should
barely protrude through the workpiece.
Firmly tighten the knob to hold the saw in
position.
