INSTALLING BLADE (Fig. F, G, H)

1.Install a 10” blade, making sure the rotation arrow on the blade matches the clockwise rotation arrow on the upper guard, and the blade teeth are pointing downward.

2.Place the laser guide (6) against the blade and on the arbor. Thread the arbor bolt (4) into the arbor in a

counterclockwise direction. (Fig. H)

IMPORTANT: Make sure the flats of the laser guide are engaged with the flats on the arbor shaft.

3.Place the blade wrench on the arbor bolt.

4.Press the arbor lock (5), holding it in firmly while turning the blade wrench counterclockwise. When it engages, continue to press the arbor lock in, while tightening the arbor bolt securely. (Fig. G)

5.Rotate the cover plate (3) back until the slot in the cover plate engages with the cover plate screw (2). Tighten the screw with a Phillips screwdriver (Fig. F).

6.Lower the blade guard (1). (Fig. F)

7.Be sure the arbor lock is released so the blade turns freely.

To avoid injury, never use the saw without the cover plate secure in place. It keeps the arbor bolt from falling out if it accidentally loosens, and helps prevent the spinning blade from coming off the saw. Make sure the collars are clean and properly arranged. Lower the blade into the lower table and check for any contact with the metal base or the turntable.

To avoid injury from an accidental start, make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the plug is not connected to the power source outlet.

ADJUSTING FENCE SQUARENESS (Fig. I)

1.Loosen the four fence locking bolts (1).

2.Using a square, lay the heel of the square against the blade, and the rule against the fence (2) as shown.

3.Adjust the fence to be 90° to the blade and tighten the four fence locking screws.

CAUTION: If the saw has not been used recently, recheck blade squareness to the fence and readjust if needed.

MITER SCALE (FIG. J)

The miter scale assists the user in setting the desired miter angles from 47° left to 47° right. The miter saw table has nine of the most common angle settings with positive stops

(3)at 0o, 15o, 22.5o, 31.6o and 45o. These positive stops position the blade at the desired angle quickly and accurately.
