Though you have the 12", to be on the safe side, contact these folks to see if your saw is a candidate for this replacement kit. I'm not familiar with your saw, so I'm wondering if a 10" blade can also be used on it. Won't hurt to ask. http://www.radialarmsawrecall.com/

My brother has a 10" and they sent him a replacement kit.
