Instructions for #82118 Blank Blade Plate
for the MicroLux Tilting Arbor Table Saw
NOTE: THIS ITEM IS FOR USE ON MICROLUX TABLE SAWS WITH A 5-3/8" LONG BLADE PLATE


Tools needed for assembly: Phillips Head Screwdriver


Begin by unplugging the saw from house current.

Move the saw blade to its lowest position.

Remove the two screws which retain the metal blade plate and carefully set them and the metal plate aside. Blow out any dust from the blade plate area.

Remove the protective film from the blank blade plate.

Install the blank blade plate into the cavity in the table top and replace the two retaining screws. Be careful not to tighten the screws so much that the plate cracks. Note: Due to variations in manufacturing operations, the surface of the new blade plate may be slightly below the table surface. If this occurs, please remove the screws and add a shim of paper or tape to raise the plate until it is flush. If it falls slightly above, slightly chamfer the edges with some sandpaper to reduce interference while feeding stock.

Tilt the blade to the desired angle.

Plug in the saw.

Turn on the power and adjust speed to the slowest setting.

Slowly raise the blade to cut a slot into the blade plate. Raise the blade high enough to protrude only slightly above the workpiece to be cut. If the blade is raised too high, the slot will approach the edge of the plate and weaken it.
