General Safety Information

Working with a table saw requires careful attention to safety to prevent accidents. Here are some key safety tips to consider:

1. Wear Appropriate Safety Gear: 

• Always use safety glasses, hearing protection, and appropriate dust masks or respirators.

2. Avoid Loose Clothing and Jewelry:

• Wear fitted clothing and avoid any dangling jewelry or objects that could get caught in the saw.

3. Use Push Sticks and Guards:

• Always use push sticks or push blocks when cutting small pieces to keep your hands away from the blade. Ensure blade guards are in place and functioning.

4. Disconnect Power When Changing Blades or Inserts:

• Always disconnect the table saw from the power source before installing or adjusting blades and inserts.

5. Read the instruction manual:

• Familiarize yourself with the specific safety features and operational guidelines of your table saw model.

Installing a Saw Blade on the Alpha HW110S Table Saw

To install or replace the saw blade on your Alpha HW110S, follow the steps below. Be sure to disconnect the saw from power before beginning any maintenance.

Required Tools (Included with Saw):

• 24mm wrench

• 27mm wrench

Installation Steps:

1. Secure the Arbor:

   • Use the 24mm wrench to hold the arbor shaft in place.

   • Use the 27mm wrench to loosen the arbor nut by turning it counterclockwise.

   • Remove the arbor nut and flange washer, then set them aside.

2. Remove the Old Blade (if applicable):

   • Carefully remove the existing blade from the arbor.

3. Install the New Blade:

   • Ensure the new blade is no larger than 10″ in diameter with a 5/8″ arbor hole.

   • Confirm the blade teeth face forward (toward the front of the saw).

4. Adjust the Flange Washer (if needed):

   • Some flange washers may include locating pins designed for international blade styles.

   • If these pins interfere with your blade seating, use a metric hex key (Allen wrench) to remove them.

   • Set the pins aside—they are typically used for European-style saw blades.

5. Reinstall and Tighten the Arbor Nut:

   • Reinstall the flange washer and nut.

   • Ensure the nut is properly seated within the flange washer recess to avoid imbalance or vibration.

   • Use both wrenches to securely tighten the arbor nut.

6. Final Check:

   • Confirm that the blade is securely mounted and spins freely by hand.

   • Reconnect power and briefly turn on the machine to verify proper operation.
