Saw
A blade spacing adjustment gauge is included with the tools on
hardware pack #2 and can be placed between the closest points
on the blade and brake cartridge to set the appropriate spacing
(see Fig. 33). The two slots on the blade spacing adjustment
gauge can be used to store the 8 mm hex key that is used to
adjust the brake position. The blade spacing adjustment gauge
also contains magnets so it can be attached to the side of the
contractor saw housing.
Alternatively, you can place a U.S. nickel between the brake
cartridge and the edge of the blade to set the correct spacing.
Preparing Your Saw for Use
After adjusting the brake position and before starting
the saw, spin the blade by hand at least one full
revolution to verify that the blade does not hit the brake
(see Fig. 34).
