Adjustments

Blade Tension Handle (Item A) – Used to remove and install saw blade.

Also used to set the correct blade tension – Be sure blade is tight.

Upper Blade Wheel Cant Adjustment (Items B&C) – If your saw should
get out of adjustment and the blade runs off the wheel or runs back
against the lip, loosen the two bottom bolts on the wheel slide. Turn the
set screw in or out to make the blade run approximately 1/32” away from
the lip on the back of the wheel. Tighten the two wheel slide bolts.
IMPORTANT: If the blade is allowed to run against the lip on the wheel it
will wear the lip off.

Blade Selection

For Operator convenience, a blade selector chart is located inside the saw
cover. It provides recommended blade speeds, required teeth per inch,
and minimum cutting radius for various blade widths. The following chart
can be used to select the blade needed:

Standard Tooth Applications

Thickness of Material Teeth per Inch

Up to 1/8” 18 Teeth
1/8” to 1/4" 14 Teeth
1/4" to 1/2" 10 Teeth

1/2" to 1” 8 Teeth

1” to 3” 6 –4 Teeth
3” to 6” 4-6 Teeth

6” and longer 3H

Note: 1) You must have at least 3 teeth into your work or blade damage will result.

2) For straight cuts, a 3/4" inch blade is best.

Blade Speed (feet per minute)

To change blade speeds, lift the motor and move the v-belt to one of the
three speeds offered: 70/140/270/540. Refer to the blade selector chart
inside the cover on your 14-10 for the appropriate speed.

Blade Removal and Installation

To remove the blade, release the blade tension handle. (Item A on page

4). Remove the blade.

To install the blade, place the blade over the bottom wheel, then on the
top wheel. Teeth must point down toward the table. Tighten the blade
tension handle enough to hold the blade firmly in place, and the push the
blade into the guide inserts. Turn the machine on to allow the blade to
position itself and then finish tightening the blade. IMPORTANT: Blade
must be tight to insure straight cut.

Please Note:

The most common causes for your 14-10 not cutting straight are:

1) Blade tension is too low.

2) The blade is either dull or worn on one side.

3) The blade is upside down. The teeth must point down toward
the table.
