USE THE FOLLOWING STEPS TO INSTALL A BLADE:
An 8mm hex key wrench (D), shipped with each machine, is required to change blades.
1.
Raise the movable hood guard to the open position.
2.
Release the upper stroke control stop (H) and allow the head to travel to its full up position.
3.
Remove the blade bolt (B) and the blade flange (C).
4.
Check the blade flange, the blade and the saw spindle for any chips or nicks that will affect the
way the blade seats.
5.
Install the blade. Make sure that the pin holes in the blade line up to the holes in the spindle.
6.
Replace the blade flange (C) and start the bolt (B) into the spindle.
7.
Before locking the blade in position, the back lash must be taken up. To take up the backlash,
rotate the bottom of the blade toward you until it seats against the drive pins.
CAUTION: THE BLADES ARE VERY SHARP AND CARE MUST BE TAKEN WHEN
REMOVING THE BACK LASH. DO NOT GRIP THE CUTTING EDGE OF THE BLADE
BARE HANDED. THE BACK LASH MUST BE TAKEN UP EVERY TIME THAT A BLADE IS
CHANGED.
8.
After taking up the back lash, tighten the blade bolt (B).
9.
Break in the saw blade. The teeth on new or re-sharpened blades have a very sharp edge and
should be fed through the first three or four cuts, very slowly, before starting normal cutting.

The CPO-315-RFA-NF saw is designed to use a maximum 12 inch (300mm) diameter blade. The
arbor size is 40mm with four 12mm pins spaced at 64mm. We offer 72 tooth and a 120 tooth saw
blades for this saw. The 120 works well with thin wall tube or material with a thin cross section. The
72 tooth blade works well with solids and heavy walled tube. BEFORE INSTALLING THE BLADE,
make sure that the power to the machine is off.
Reset the upper stroke control and return the movable hood guard to the down position.
Besides taking up the back lash and breaking in the blade, it is very important to keep the
blade flange, the spindle and the blade clean and free from nicks. Failure to do these things
will result in broken or damaged blades.
NOTE : THE BLADE BOLT IS LEFT HAND THREADED AND MUST BE
TURNED CLOCKWISE TO REMOVE IT.
