Familiarization
Place the saw on a smooth, flat surface such as a workbench or strong table.
Examine Figures 1 & 2 and refer to the parts description to become familiar with the saw and its various parts. The following section on adjustments will refer to these terms and you must know what and where the parts are. The part name is followed by the corresponding part number Example - lock down pin (14).
Press down lightly on the operating handle and pull out the lock down pin (14), as shown in Figure 3. Gently release the downward pressure and allow the arm to rise to its full height. Use the lock down pin when carrying the saw from one place to another. Use the operating handle (1) to transport the saw or the hand indentations
(15)shown in Figure 2 after unplugging.

Bench Mounting
Bench mounting holes (8) are provided in all four feet to facilitate bench mounting, as shown in Figure 1. (Two different sized holes are provided to accommodate different sizes of screws. Use either hole, it is not necessary to use both.) Always mount your saw firmly to prevent movement. To enhance the tool’s portability, it can be mounted to a piece of 1/2" or thicker plywood which can then be
clamped to your work support or moved to other job sites and reclamped.
NOTE: If you elect to mount your saw to a piece of plywood, make sure that the mounting screws don’t protrude from the bottom of the wood. The plywood must sit flush on the work support. When clamping the saw to any work surface, clamp only on the clamping bosses where the mounting screw holes are located. Clamping at any other point will interfere with the proper operation of the saw.
CAUTION: To prevent binding and inaccuracy, be sure the mounting surface is not warped or otherwise uneven. If the saw rocks on the surface, place a thin piece of material under one saw foot until the saw sits firmly on the mounting surface.
Installing a New Saw Blade
(UNPLUG THE MITER SAW)
DO NOT USE FERROUS METAL OR MASONRY CUTTING BLADES IN THIS SAW
With the saw arm in the upper position, raise the guard (2) as far as possible. Loosen (but do not remove) the guard bracket screw, shown in Figure 4 until the guard bracket can be raised enough to permit access to the blade screw. Hold the guard up and depress the spindle lock button (19) with one hand and use the supplied blade wrench in the other hand to loosen (clockwise) the left hand threaded blade screw.
NOTE: To use the spindle lock, depress the button as shown in Figure 5 and rotate the blade by hand until you feel the lock engage. Continue to hold the lock button in to keep the spindle from turning. Remove the blade screw and the blade.
The inner clamp washer is installed first, then the blade and the outer
