Changing the Blade

TURN THE SAW OFF

Remove the throatplate.

Using the wrenches on the side of the saw, hold the collet and loosen the nut.

Carefully remove the blade and put it in the drawer.

Insert the new blade.

Remember, the blade spins towards you- ensure that the teeth are pointing the right way.

Reattach the washer and nut.

The Dado Stack installation requires more steps than the standard blades.

In addition to removing the blade, you must also remove the riving knife and the SawStop cartridge.

To remove the riving knife, push the black lever down and remove the knife.

To remove the SawStop cartridge, twist the red pin up and remove it, and the pull out the cartridge.

The Dado Stack, Cartridge, and Throatplate can be found in this drawer.

First, install the cartridge. Slide it into place, and then lock it with the red pin.

The Dado Stack should be set up with the larger scoring blades on the outside and the chipper blades on the inside.

The chipper blades are either 1/8th or 1/16th wide and allow you to set the Dado to a specific width.

Ensure the blades are all staggered evenly so teeth will always be in contact with the wood.

Reattach the washer and nut and tighten.

Slide Dado throatplate on.
