Hold the blade firmly when tightening the centre nut, taking care to avoid injuring your hands on the sharp teeth. IMPORTANT: Note the running direction. The cutting angle of the teeth must point in the running direction, i.e. forwards (see arrow on the blade guard). 8. Refit the riving knife and ensure that it lines up with the saw blade. It is secured with the nut shown. 9. Adjust the clearance between the saw blade so that it is between 2 and 5mm. 10. Refit the table insert and the blade guard. 11. Check that all components are properly mounted and in good working condition before you begin working with the saw again.
