1 Disconnect the machine from the power source.

2 Raise the saw frame about 150mm.

3 Slide the left blade guide arm to the right as far as it will go.

5 Open both wheel covers and clean the swarf out of the machine.

6 Release blade tension by turning the blade tensioner button to the left

7 Remove the blade from both wheels and out of the blade guides.

8 Make sure the teeth of the new blade are pointing in the right direction(teeth pointing down).

9 Place the blade on the wheels, in the blade guides and adjust it, then tension the blade




Pulled the list from your link... sounds right.

Make sure the teeth are facing the right direction, towards the table on a vertical saw, and towards the fixed vise jaw on a horizontal saw. Flip the blade inside out it the teeth are facing the wrong direction.
